Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Antoine Berman’s theory of translation ethics is open to criticism in terms of Pierre Bourdieu’s analysis of symbolic productions. To understand the general ethics of translation, our scope should be wide enough to include both lowbrow and highbrow genres. If ethics is then situated in the significance of translated texts compared with the significance of their source texts, it must be based on a construction of potential homologies or a ‘community of destinies’. Here a case of unethical translation is found in the French version of Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath carried out in Nazi-occupied Belgium. As a case of ethical translating, Boris Vian’s versions of Alfred E. van Vogt’s science-fiction novels modify the language register, introduce implicitation and fictionalization of the scientific discourse, and yet preserve the significance of the source text, contributing to a more thorough adherence to the genre.

Not 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.
