Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Trying to discuss what Italian Canadian women playwrights have in common—what concerns and dramatic methods—might seem to be an impossible task. The four playwrights under consideration here, Maristella Roca, Caterina Edwards, Mary Melfi and Toni Ellwand, have demonstrated different levels of theatrical engagement: Maristella Roca and Toni Ellwand are primarily theatre artists and are currently collaborating on a production using the poetry of Gianna Patriarca, while Caterina Edwards and Mary Melfi have each written only one play; Edwards writes fiction; and Melfi has published several collections of poetry and two novels. A significant point of intersection in their plays is the problem of how to represent the “performances” of women. While social performance is represented in many poems, short stories and novels by Italian Canadian women writers, writing for a female actor is quite a different matter. These four have chosen to make plays that present a liberating female presence, one that offers fresh possibilities for verbal expression and behaviour.

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.
