GLOBALIZATION, IDENTITY AND CULTURAL CORES: Mixed-Blood and Métis Writers in Canada and the US
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mixed-Blood and Mtis Writers in Canada and the US C ontemporary cultural theory construes identity as a particular, modern, way of socially organizing cultural experience.Stuart Hall (1996), notably, discusses it succinctly as an ensemble of definitional practices anchored in the positioning of one's group in relation and in contradistinction to other groups.History, language and culture are effective resources to use in reinforcing one group's 'difference' or distinctiveness, because they appear to invoke origins in a historical past with which one's group continues to correspond; that is to say that they are readily used in the creation of origin myths.Benedict Anderson has famously asserted that our cultural identity is constructed by self and communal definitions predicated on specific, usually politically inflected differentiations such as gender, religion, race, or nationality; all are categories of imagined or imaginary belongings which are publicly institutionalized and discursively organized.Thus it is that we live our gender, race, religion, or nationality in a structured way, that is to say, according to a politics.Globalization is thought to threaten a group's previously established identity politics.Cultural sociologist John Tomlinson summarizes how that situation is widely believed to have evolved:Once upon a time, before the era of globalization, there existed local, autonomous, distinct, and well-defined, robust and culturally sustaining connections between geographical place and cultural experience.These connections constituted one's-and one's community's-'cultural identity.'This identity was something people simply 'had' as an undisturbed existential possession, an inheritance, a benefit of traditional FEATURES

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.
