Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

"The Protestor, the Public and the State of the Nation" critically interrogates the representation of protest in the dominant news media. A thematic analysis of The Globe and Mail's reporting of the international and Canadian street demonstrations against the American-led invasion of Iraq, reveals how the rational, 'core' Canadian is problematically narrated as white, middle-class, heterosexual, able-bodied and male. This 'ideal Canadian' upholds the racist foundations upon which the state was built as it erases the numerous actors who were not reported as participating in the protests and reinforces the raced hierarchies prevalent in Canada. In this analysis Canada is understood to be a state that re-colonizes through the discursive production and reinforcement of Canadian protesters in contrast to protesters around the world. The impact of this colonial treatment of the 'core' Canadian is disrupted and finally, the study suggests actions for more inclusive and equitable knowledge production.

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.

Not 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.
