Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

<p id="d1e42">That the 2012 Congress of the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences censored <em id="d1e44" class="term">the Bonfire of the Humanities</em>, a student-produced alternate reality game, apparently in order to preserve the reputations of its invited speakers and host universities is an alarming incident worthy of further inquiry and censure by Canada's scholarly and artistic communities. Curiously, the justification provided for censoring the game echoes the ethical arguments advanced by scholars and designers of pervasive games who warn that non-player bystanders are at risk of confusing games with reality. This essay considers the case in relation to Jacques Rancière's ethics of recognition. I argue that pervasive gamers should stop disguising their activities to protect bystanders, and begin instead to recognize non-players as equally capable of negotiating the blurred boundaries of game and world. The emancipation of game spectatorship creates genuinely political encounters, and opens up new channels for scholarly experimentation and dissemination. <p id="d1e47"> Le fait que le Congrès 2012 de la Fédération Canadienne des Sciences Humaines ait censuré <em id="d1e49" class="term">Bonfire of the Humanities</em>, un jeu de réalité alternative créé par des étudiants, apparemment pour préserver la réputation de ses conférenciers invités et des universités hôtes, est un incident alarmant qui doit faire l'objet de plus d'enquête et de censure de la part des communautés érudites et artistiques du Canada. Curieusement, la justification invoquée pour censurer le jeu fait écho aux arguments d'éthique avancés par les universitaires et les concepteurs de jeux envahissants, qui préviennent que les non joueurs sont à risque de confondre les jeux avec la réalité. Cet essai prend en considération le cas en relation avec l'éthique de la reconnaissance de Jacques Rancière. Mon argument est que les jeux envahissants devraient cesser de déguiser leurs activités pour protéger les spectateurs, et commencer plutôt à reconnaître les non joueurs comme étant aussi capables de négocier les limites floues du jeu et du monde. L'émancipation des spectateurs des jeux crée des rencontres politiques authentiques, et ouvrent de nouvelles voies pour l'expérimentation et la diffusion des connaissances.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
