Wrestling with Regionalism in Atlantic Canada: The Playwrights Atlantic Resource Centre
Bibliographic record
Abstract
I will preface my discussion of the Playwrights Atlantic Resource Centre (PARC) with the following caveat. Although I spent over ten years of my adult life on Canada’s East Coast, and held extended residence in three out of four of the Atlantic provinces, I was acutely aware throughout that time of my C.F.A. status. “C.F.A.,” for those who have never visited Newfoundland, stands for “Come From Away.” The term is shortened to “From Away” in the Maritimes, but the condition – and the multiple attitudes it evokes – are, for all intents and purposes, the same. As a “From Away,” one is regularly reminded, in sometimes conspicuous but often subtle ways, of the depth of history, personal and cultural, from which one is not so much cut off as set safely at arm’s length. A “From Away” can experience the East Coast; but it is the experience of the visitor – and, if you’re lucky, the guest. And this, of course, also shapes the degree to which – and the ways in which – one can actually know the East Coast.

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.
