“Para resistir la crisis y progresar” – Readings and Translations of Cuban Political Discourse
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Political discourse is situated spatially and temporally on constantly shifting (political) terrain; it is ideologically driven and is embedded in, and a reflection of, a complex web of norms and conventions, including historical, cultural and linguistic ones.Among its strategic functions are coercion, resistance or opposition, and legitimization or delegitimization.This last function is shared by the media which, in reframing and representing statements and events, also contributes to legitimizing and delegitimizing ideas, policies, individuals and groups.And, when political statements originating in a foreign country are reported in Canadian and U.S. media, translators are called upon to participate in this reframing.Media reports of political discourse therefore provide an important source for examining interpretations and reinterpretations.This paper examines statements made by Cuban politicians, and published in Englishlanguage media in Canada and the United States.It explores the ways in which Cuba's stance toward the recent economic crisis reproduced pre-established discourse around the ongoing U.S. embargo.An analysis of translations of these statements reveals evidence of the delegitimization of Cuban discourse through editorial and translation strategies.

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.
