Abstract
This article examines the representation of shopping in selected fictional and autobiographical works by French-Canadian author Gabrielle Roy (Bonheur d'occasion, Rue Deschambault and La Détresse et l'enchantement) It argues that, in the case of Roy, the activity of shopping can be seen to constitute not only a playful and pleasurable pursuit for women, but also one that has the potential to be empowering. Shopping in Royan works offers female characters the opportunity to dream, to create, to escape the everyday, to explore and, perhaps most importantly, it facilitates female bonding, particularly between mother and daughter.

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 it
