Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

André Langevin's novels, Évadé de la nuit, Poussière sur la ville, Le Temps des Hommes, L'Élan d'Amérique, influenced by French Existentialism and Absurd movement, feature characters struggling to escape their solitude and attain communication, therefore, their identity in a hostile world. Difficulties in communication, solitude among death, existential angst, loss of individual and national identity are the major recurrent topics in Langevin's novels. These are also the topics we have tried to analyse in this paper by focusing on three points common to these four novels: religion, family and society. Langevin exposes social, cultural and moral deficiencies in 'québécois' reality. In the last analyzed novel, L'Élan d'Amérique, he underlines the economical and cultural alienation of French speaking workers employed in US companies. The alienation on individual level is a metaphor of the alienation of French-Canadians, or Québécois, surrounded by English speaking people on the national level.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
