Divergent visions: localist and cosmopolitan identities in highland Sardinia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article examines the distinctions between two polysemic social categories – localists and cosmopolitans – in the highland village of Orgosolo in Sardinia, Italy. The analysis proceeds from an assumption of the inherent internal contradictoriness and diversity of cultural systems, and focuses on how seemingly incommensurable norms and values are articulated, embodied, and symbolized in day‐to‐day practice. Following a presentation of the historical dimensions and numerous elements inherent in the distinction between the categories of localist and cosmopolitan, I argue that a partial rapprochement is achieved through a widely shared sense of village identity that centres upon an image of Orgosolo as inimitable and unique. Résumé L’auteur examine les distinctions entre deux catégories sociales polysémiques (localistes et cosmopolites) dans le village montagnard d’Orgosolo, en Sardaigne (Italie). Son analyse part de l’hypothèse que les systèmes culturels sont intrinsèquement contradictoires et divers, et se concentre sur la manière dont des normes apparemment incommensurables sont articulées, incarnées et symbolisées dans la pratique quotidienne. Après une présentation des dimensions historiques et de nombreux éléments inhérents à la distinction entre les catégories localiste et cosmopolite, l’auteur affirme qu’un rapprochement partiel est rendu possible par un sens largement partagé de l’identité du village, centré sur une image d’Orgosolo comme un lieu inimitable et unique.

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.
