Rythmer les corps pour socialiser. Ethnologie des activités récréatives du djembé au Québec
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The djembe––a West African hand drum––along with its traditional Mandingo repertory, had been globalized by the end of the 20th century. In Quebec, the cultural appropriation of the djembe goes far beyond artistic expression. Other social uses can be observed such as: therapy, team building, intercultural learning, and cultural leisure. This article presents the results of a survey conducted among recreational djembe players. In a moment of leisure, why would someone choose to hit an African drum? Exoticism would be an easy explanation for why someone plays the African djembe in North American society. However, this research shows that beyond exoticism there are more pragmatic reasons. The ethnological data presented here, based on Marcel Mauss and Andre Leroi-Gourhan’s traditional rhythm anthropology theory, shows that recreational djembe playing is a collective praxeology that aims to create social corporeality. This collective process works in a bodily symbiotic relationship, which is created through the hand drum rhythm. The result is a curative effect: the release of stress caused by the participant’s lifestyle.

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.
