RE-MAPPING HISTORICAL SILENCES: A DISCUSSION OF JAN CONN'S TRAVEL ENCOUNTERS IN THE AMERICAS.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Este artigo apresenta uma releitura das ambiguidades advindas da intersecção entre viajar e representar através de uma discussão da obra da poetisa canadense Jan Conn. Considerando-se que Conn produz reconstruções poéticas (ao invés dos tradicionais relatos de viagem ou etnografias) de suas experiências cruzando fronteiras nas Américas, sua obra torna-se um lugar privilegiado para a releitura da dialética entre o eu e o outro. Assim, argumento que Conn não aborda a viagem como necessariamente uma celebração, mas que ela apresenta um desafio a este discurso, já que o lê através de seus momentos de instabilidade e silêncios históricos.Résumé: Dans cet article nous proposons une relecture des ambiguïtés qui se produisent au croisement du voyage et de la représentation à travers l’étude de l’oeuvre de la poétesse canadienne Jan Conn. Si l’on considère que Conn produit des reconstructions poétiques (à rebours des traditionnels récits de voyages ou relations ethnographiques) de ses expériences de franchissement des frontières dans les Amériques, son ooeuvre devient un lieu privilégié pour la relecture de la dialectique entre le moi et l’autre. Ainsi nous démontrons que chez Conn le voyage n’est pas nécessairement une célébration, mais un défi à ce discours, dans la mesure où elle le lit par le biais de ses moments d’instabilité et d’épisodes historiques passés sous silence.Mots-clés: récits de voyages; poésie canadienne; le moi et l’autre.Abstract: This article presents a re-reading of the ambiguities involved in travel and representation through a discussion about the work of the Canadian poet Jan Conn. Considering Conn produces poetical reconstructions (in opposition to more traditional travel accounts or ethnographies) of her experiences crossing borders in the Americas, her writing becomes a privileged space for the reassessment of the dialectics between self and other in travel. Thus, I argue that, through her poetry, Conn does not necessarily present travel as celebration since she actually challenges the discourse of travel by reading its moments of instability and its historical silences.Keywords: travel writing; canadian poetry; self and other.

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.
