Abstract
The gendered rhetoric of Quebec modern nationalism has come under recent scrutiny by political scientists who have questioned its equation of citizenship with a masculine universal (Lamoureux 2001). At the heart of this discourse of liberation is the desire on the part of the Quebecois national subject, figured as castrated by Anglo-Canadian political and cultural domination, to leave the posture du fils (within a female-dominated single-parent family) and become a fully-fledged father-citizen.

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.
