For Ourselves, Our Neighbours, Our Homelands: Religion in Folklorama's Israel Pavilion
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Winnipeg’s Folklorama is the largest and longest-running multicultural festival in the world. Local ethnic groups present outsiders (and insiders) with cultural displays, foods, and usually an ethnic performance of some kind. The fact that members of these groups must formally decide how they will represent themselves makes this festival an excellent opportunity to understand the ways groups use these festivals to interact with the broader Canadian society. Although festival managers caution individual pavilion organisers to avoid provocative political or religious issues when designing their pavilions, in the process of depicting particular cultures, ethnic religious traditions are often expressed. In this article, the author focuses specifically on the place and depiction of religions (mainly Islam and Judaism) in the Israel Pavilion. This analysis reveals that the depictions of religion in this pavilion serve to further some of the specific and general goals of the community, including the reduction of local ignorance and anti-Semitism, the preservation of Jewish identity, and the promotion of pro-Israel sentiment.

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.
