La mosaïque culturelle du Canada dans la littérature de jeunesse de langue française: une analyse des albums, de 2003 à 2012
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Children’s multicultural literature contributes to the development of the child who is culturally different from the majority. It also enables all children, regardless of their cultural background, to develop their beliefs and attitudes towards the other. However, it is important to consider the ideologies conveyed in the books that they encounter. This article presents an analysis of 1,132 picture books published by French Canadian publishers from 2003 to 2012. The first part of the research consisted of an assessment of the number of picture books in which we found visible minority characters. We also took into account the cultural origins of authors and illustrators. In the second part, we conducted some analysis in order to identify ideologies promoted in multicultural picture books. The results show that there are important gaps between the representation of visible minorities in children’s literature and the Canadian reality. They also suggest discrepancies between ideologies conveyed in picture books and Canadian values in regards to multiculturalism.

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.
