Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Te Oka Crises, Gustafsen Lake, Ipperwash. This last decade of visible confrontations between the Canadian army/police and first nations people have been, and are, about land. Land that the First nations' people claim is rightfully theirs and which the government claims has been appropriately paid for. But what constitutes a purchase, were these exchanges ever completed, and what role(s) did accounting play in not only these particular exchanges but in the process of colonization itself? The current study returns to the 1830--1860 period in an attempt to answer these questions. Starting from a governmentality perspective, we argue that accounting discourses and techniques were located within the logic of imperialism and enmeshed within colonial systems of government. More specifically, we observe accounting discourses being used to rationalize colonial relations, and accounting techniques being used as both a general and specific mode of colonial government.

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.
