Bridging transcultural boundaries in Carroll Aikins's play The God of Gods: A Canadian Play
Bibliographic record
Abstract
What is a Canadian play? Does it have an established formula? Should a nation's culture and tradition provide inspiration for the kind of theatre it envisages as a national theatre? Canada is a transnational country that has incorporated the cultural identities of many different ethnicities from the beginning of its inception. Which cultural and traditional markers were considered to be more dominant and influential? The turn of the twentieth century and its first decades saw numerous endeavours in the form of modernist experimental theatres that challenged the traditional European theatrical formulas. Their aim was to create an all-Canadian theatre and perform the works of Canadian playwrights that present Canadian themes. To what extent were these aims achieved? Caroll Aikins's theatrical endeavours may be considered unique, because his play The God of Gods: A Canadian Play, bridges cultures through its "native" themes with its wilderness, spirituality and equality. The play dramatizes major theosophical beliefs that portray a critical view of human nature, namely, by focusing on materialism, religion and human greed. Aikins's modernist theatrical techniques and aboriginal subject matter, however, also highlight further underlying tenets that the article proposes to examine.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 teacher head, not a consensus.
