Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article considers the idea of region as it has been applied to northern North America. It notes the relevance of environmental and political factors in shaping the discussion of regions in the first half of the twentieth century. It also considers social science and literary discussions of the concept, particularly in the second half of the century. In passing, it comments on the associated issues of space and nation that are very much in question in recent scholarly work. Finally, it insists on the power of physical place and the significance of historical forces, sometimes of very long duration, that ensure region arises when Canadians turn to consider national politics and public identities. Abstract: Cet article se penche sur le concept de region tel qu’il a ete applique a l’Amerique du Nord septentrionale. Il souligne la pertinence des facteurs politiques et environnementaux dans la discussion portant sur les regions au cours de la premiere moitie du XXe siecle. Il examine egalement les debats qui ont entoure ce concept, du point de vue des sciences sociales et de la litterature, en particulier dans la deuxieme moitie du siecle. En passant, il offre un commentaire sur les enjeux connexes d’espace et de nation qui alimentent le debat dans les recents travaux d’erudition. Il insiste enfin sur la puissance du lieu physique et l’importance des forces historiques, parfois de tres longue duree, qui font que le concept de region est present quand les Canadiens se penchent sur les questions de politique nationale et d’identites publiques.

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.
