Claiming Brazil: Performances of Citizenship in the Centenary of Independence Gregg Bocketti
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Published at the end of a year in which Brazil celebrated the bicentennial of its independence amid a bitterly fought presidential election, Claiming Brazil is a timely reminder of just how contested membership in nations is. Surprisingly little has been written about Brazil’s independence centennial, in contrast to the burgeoning scholarship on the 1972 sesquicentennial, and this alone makes Claiming Brazil a welcome addition to the historiography of twentieth-century Brazil. Gregg Bocketti demonstrates that there was much more to the commemorations of 1922 than the familiar centerpieces: the International Exhibition of the Centenary of Independence (held in Rio de Janeiro from September 1922 to July 1923) and the reopening of São Paulo’s Ipiranga Museum, which had changed its focus from natural history to a celebration of Emperor Pedro I’s proclamation of independence on September 7, 1822. Extensive research in newspapers published in the national capital and in selected regional centers supports what Bocketti calls a “multifaceted analysis of the rituals and debates of 1922” (14), in which he examines the aims (and frustrations) of those who organized official celebrations, and the ordinary Brazilians, immigrants, and visitors who also marked the centennial, many of them claiming citizenship through their participation. More important, he carefully analyzes the extensive debates about what 1922 meant for a nation riven by regional tensions, race and class divisions, and a generational divide, not to mention one still coming to grips with its Portuguese heritage, worried about the presence of immigrants, and uncertain of its place in a world that the First World War had radically changed.

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.
