Those Filthy Irish: Dis-ease in Andrea Barrett’s Short Story “Ship Fever”
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ship Fever (Typhus), recueil de nouvelles d'Andrea BARRETT qui a remporté le U.S.National Book Award en 1996, traite de la recherche scientifique et des pratiques médicales au cours du XIXe siècle. La nouvelle du titre se déroule pendant l’épidémie de typhus de 1847, sur l’île de Gross au Québec. Emigrants irlandais, ses personnages permettent à l’auteur d’expose la portée morale d’une maladie physique que ni barrières sociales, ni quarantaine ne sauraient arrêter. La contagion crée des liens socio-politiques entre le moral et le matériel, si bien que l’épidémie apparaisse comme synonyme d’immigration. Le lecteur est, lui aussi, transporté par la nouvelle sur la rive rédemptrice d’en face pour découvrir, avec les personnages la fraternité et la bonté dans la complexité multiple de l’humain.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
