Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

'I am a future ghost. I am getting ready for my haunting'. So promise Eve Tuck and C. Ree in their 'A glossary of haunting,' where they reflect on the political utility of haunting for 'ceremony, revenge, and decolonization' (in Stacy Holman Jones, Tony E. Adams and Carolyn Ellis (eds) Handbook of Autoethnography, Walnut Creek: Left Coast Press, pp 648, 640); but this claim to be a future ghost could have just as easily been made by any of the characters, human or inhuman, populating Marie Clements's Burning Vision (2003). While Burning Vision is celebrated as a work of environmentalist and Indigenous theatre, minimal critical attention has been paid to the play's haunted natures. The play traces the material history of uranium ore originating deep underground Satuh Dene territory near Great Bear Lake in the Northwest Territories of Canada, tracking the uranium's journey from its 'discovery' by white prospectors in the 1930s, travel to the Earth's surface via an intermingling of white and Dene miners, voyage across the waterways of the Northwest Territories, transformation into atomic power in New Mexico, and instrumentation of mass death in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. The radioactive material haunts, not like a ghost but as a ghost, theatrically animating how: 'Our ghosts are the traces of more-than-human histories through which ecologies are made and unmade' (Ann Tsing, Heather Swanson, Elaine Gan and Nil Bubandt (2017) Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet, Minneapolis, MN, University of Minnesota Press, G1). Bound together by their mutual contamination by the radioactive (and radio-active) ghosts, the characters of play too become spectral, intra-acting with one another as ghosts of the past and spectres of the future. In this article, I explore the use of haunting as a dramaturgical device in Burning Vision, and suggest that as theatrical haunting prompts us to pay attention differently to the interrelations of the spectral and material, it offers altered modes of performing the future.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
