Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Taking Foucault’s construction of ‘regimes of truth’ in advanced democratic societies as its starting point, this article reflects on three decades of formal investigation and public inquiry in the North of Ireland. Focusing particularly on the use and abuse of state power, it considers the reproduction of hegemonic and counter-hegemonic discourses and the processes through which they gain or are denied legitimacy. The Bloody Sunday Inquiry (BSI) has dominated media coverage, political commentary and popular discourse. But the recently published inquiries carried out by Canadian Judge Cory are crucial to an understanding of the operational relationships between state agencies and loyalist paramilitaries. While discussing the BSI in the context of previous UK government public inquiries, the article considers the significance of alternative, community-based, independent inquiries. Finally, the article evaluates the cases for and against a Truth Commission in the North of Ireland and the problems associated with a state-sponsored Commission as a forum for the political management of truth.

Not 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.
