Where Puppets Collide: Tradition and Innovation in Manigan<u>S</u>es, Festival international des arts de la marionnette
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ManiganSes, a biennial, week-long puppet festival in Saguenay, Quebec, seeks to foster an appreciation for puppet arts — a broad theatrical tradition. With ten editions to its credit, it balances the passionate commitment to the art apparent in its mandate with the realities of sustaining a festival in Canada. It is overseen by a board of directors, though programming is entirely in the hands of the festival director. Denise Lavoie, general director for the past seven years, imagines a festival that encourages puppet arts but is also interested in what ManiganSes has to offer to the local community; festivals have enormous potential as educational centres, and ManiganSes is no exception. “This great festival is about the living art of the marionette,” says Lavoie. “It is fertile soil for traditions and ancient craft, for imagination and creativity, for assertions and reinventions” (ManiganSes 5).
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
