Making Men, Making Masculinities: Canadian Masculinities across Time and Place
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Making Men, Making History: Canadian Masculinities across Time and Place situates the study of masculinities within the Canadian cultural context.Through a carefully-selected collection of essays, Gossage and Rutherdale open a vista onto the Canadian landscape.This vista is made all the richer by its range, as the collection draws on a divergence of both time and place in order to address gendered constructs.Beyond these temporal and geographical glimpses, the anthology is divided into six sections: expertise and authority, masculine spaces, performing masculinities, boys to men, men in motion, and faces of fatherhood.What may on first glance seem an arbitrary structuring, the collection takes on the tones of a symphonic arrangement, enticing the reader to listen for those notes that strike a relevant chord within one's own understanding of gender within Canada.Ultimately, of course, it invites researchers to sound those chords that are the most intriguing and relevant to their own research.The anthology offers an orchestration of complex and far-ranging variations on the theme of manhood, and it is in this variety and richness that one finds a book which lends a compelling contribution to the field of masculinities.The high-interest content of this volume renders it just as relevant and accessible to the casual reader as to the historian or scholar.This anthology can easily be imagined as a core text in a course offered within gender studies, Canadian history, or more specifically, the history of masculinities.Masculinities is in itself a relatively recent category of historical research and the attempt to plant its seeds on Canadian soil has, through this anthology, been both fruitful, and one would imagine, quite sustainable.From the middle-class men of the Edmonton packinghouses (1947)(1948)(1949)(1950)(1951)(1952)(1953)(1954)(1955)(1956)(1957)(1958)(1959)(1960)(1961)(1962)(1963)(1964)(1965)(1966), to the dynamics of the gay bars of Montreal, the book leads the reader through a Book Review: Making Men, Making History

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.
