Desde los márgenes: Contrahistorias al filo del siglo XXI en el teatro mexicano contemporáneo.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The monumental events of Independence and Revolution are the stage on which the elite act out Mexico’s national drama of “official history.” However, since 1994, the year in which the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between Mexico, the United States of America and Canada came into force, neoliberalism has taken the leading role on Mexico's political, economic, social and cultural stage. This study illustrates the impact of this central character on the Mexican people through the exploration of the work of a group of playwrights who have reacted critically to the scenarios created by neoliberal discourse. The contemporary history of Mexico as portrayed in the following pages is not mere fiction. On the contrary: the plays considered here reflect the reality that the State conceals offstage, well away from the critical eyes of its people, the audience, as the dramatists have removed the festive mask from the disfigured face of present day Mexico to reveal how their country has regressed to become a tragic figure on the international stage. From the margins, these playwrights present a counterhistory which gives a voice and presence to those sidelined by hegemonic discourse. Their task begins in chapter 1 with a journey through the “official history” of the nation to show the excesses of power and authoritarism which have been a constant in the nation’s history, as well as the tendency to favour foreign interests. In chapter 2, the veracity of history is questioned through historical characters from the Conquest. “State crimes” committed against women are the subject of discussion on feminicide in chapter 3. Finally, chapter 4 emphasises the negative effects of neoliberal policies through the theme of migration to the northern border and illegal migration into the United States.

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.
