The Eaton’s Santa Claus Parade and the Making of a Metropolitan Spectacle, 1905–1982
Bibliographic record
Abstract
La parade du père Noël d’Eaton s’est transformée en « spectacle commercial », forgé au fil des décennies qui ont suivi la Première Guerre mondiale, alliant des formes plus anciennes et plus modernes de culture populaire à la dynamique changeante de la famille, du public, de la collectivité et du commerce. Même s’il s’agissait d’un événement local, ses créateurs faisaient partie d’un réseau d’organisateurs de parades, s’étendant aux grandes villes d’Amérique du Nord, nourrissant les mêmes idées et s’inspirant des mêmes formes culturelles. L’avènement de la télévision a permis à la parade du père Noël d’atteindre un auditoire plus vaste à l’échelle du pays. Entre sa production locale et son auditoire canadien repose le berceau d’un spectacle métropolitain, d’un événement local qui, en plus d’être le creuset d’idées venues d’ailleurs et de se rallier à de plus vastes réseaux de producteurs culturels, jouissait d’un plus grand rayonnement, brillant de sa puissance et de son influence sur un vaste espace économique et culturel.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
