Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This chapter explores how heritage institutions, particularly museums, contribute to practices of democracy as spaces and media of knowledge-building used by “new” Canadians. What is represented in a museum, a public space, can affect how Canadian society sees itself, how outsiders see us, and who is defined as belonging to this community as citizens. Museums have historically been situated at the intersection of representation and citizenship, as both formally and informally inscribed. They represent and authenticate official statements about meaning and belonging, while at the same time serving as “neutral” public spaces for knowledge-building and citizen participation. Museums legitimize versions of a state or community’s history, what is accepted as heritage, who belongs to that heritage, who has membership and status within a community, and who does not belong. And expressions of nondominant players may be included or appropriated by this institution. Yet at the same time they serve as informal public spaces or arenas for social interaction and dialogue. The balancing of these seemingly incommensurate roles has been a central question in museology—representing and shaping citizens on one hand, and on the other serving as site and tool for alternative meaning-making, expressions, and participation in culture, heritage, and citizenship.

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.
