<i>Holiday Native Land</i> (2023) de Nicolas Renaud et Brian Virostek: critique d’un appétit impérial insatiable
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article focuses on the short-film Holiday Native Land (2023), a collaborative work between Wendat visual artist Nicolas Renaud and Ontarian visual artist Brian Virostek, through the intersection of Indigenous Studies, sociology, and the history of national parks. The split-screen short movie is composed of archival national parks advertisements and reads—through our contemporary eyes—as an eerie testament to the imperialist ambitions of both private economic interests and Canadian government bodies. This article concentrates primarily on the linguistic and visual deployment of this official promotional rhetoric through a close analysis of Holiday Native Land , examining the intimate link that exists between this rhetoric and the emergence of a distinctly Canadian imperialism. Finally, it demonstrates how this same rhetoric is indissociable from an insatiable imperial appetite, one that translates into an unquenchable desire to neutralize the Other by metaphorically consuming them.

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.
