Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Le Windigo appartient à la mythologie des peuples Algonquins qui se représentent cette créature géante sous les traits d’une femme séductrice dont le coeur est fait de glace. C’est aussi de cette façon que les premiers voyageurs européens des terres boréales se sont représentés l’esprit du « Nord » qui séduisait les hommes perdus dans l’immensité blanche en même temps qu’il les précipitait dans la folie. Dans les travaux de psychiatrie transculturelle, le Windigo a été classiquement présenté comme un culture-bound syndrome spécifique aux populations sub-arctiques du Canada. Parmi les symptômes signalés, on retrouve la conviction chez la personne d’être possédée par l’esprit Windigo, la crainte d’être dévorée ou d’être transformée en un « esprit du froid » et d’errer à jamais dans les solitudes du « nord » ainsi que le désir compulsif de manger de la chair humaine. Tous ces symptômes sont évoqués dans les chants que les shamans amérindiens ont inventé en l’honneur de Windigo. L’auteur montre que les romanciers anglo-canadiens (notamment Margaret Atwood) ont fait du Windigo un symbole pour penser l’identité canadienne.

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.
