Abstract
The identitary concerns of contemporary transcultured fiction from Englishspeaking Canada and French-speaking Qubec are often thematized through a reworking of religious iconography and language. Pierre Nepveu has argued that la transculture is essential to post-nationalist preoccupations in contemporary Qubcois culture. Work on la transculture in Qubcois theory finds an echo in the contemporary interest in postcolonial side-by-sidedness. In Postcolonizing the Commonwealth , Rowland Smith argues that current research in postcolonialism has moved beyond an oppositional stance (i.e. in a term like writing back) to investigate new kinds of side-by-sidedness that lead to the possibility of sharing cultural experience rather than resisting the imposition of alien forms of culture. It is proposed that the postcolonial acceptance of the continual becoming of identity ( l'identitaire ) is sometimes explored through contemporary fictions' use of the trope of religiosity, as seen through the dynamic praxis of transculturalisms. In closing, a necessarily brief reference will be made to two contemporary novels: Robert Lalonde's Sept lacs plus au Nord (1993) and Lola Lemire Tostevin's Frog Moon (1994).

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
