“You Yourself are Here Now Looking over my Shoulder as I Write”: Emotional Dialogue and the Construction of a Shared Intimate Space in First World War Letters.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The First World War was a time when public events inserted themselves brutally into the private emotional lives of its participants. While the history of emotions is difficult to access, wartime exchanges of letters between couples offer a way of considering how, in this particularly fraught context, individuals expressed emotion in writing as they attempted to transcend extreme physical and experiential separation. The language of letters lets us into an otherwise unavailable emotional world, and offers insight into both the subjective experience of war and how individuals share and express emotion. This discussion examines letter exchanges between young men and women to show how intense connections were forged and sustained in spite of distance and transformative experiences on both sides. The shared emotion through which intimacy is developed is both carried in, and takes us beyond, the more obvious connections forged by letters and parcels to imagined spaces where a shared emotional narrative transcends the individual confines of the present time and space. « Tu regardes au-dessus de mon epaule alors que j’ecris cette lettre » : dialogue sentimental et construction d’un espace intime commun dans la correspondance de la Premiere Guerre mondiale Les evenements lies a la Premiere Guerre mondiale se sont repercutes de facon brutale dans la vie sentimentale des personnes touchees par cette guerre. Les obstacles a la redaction d’une histoire des sentiments au cours de cette periode sont compenses dans une certaine mesure par l’acces a la correspondance entre couples, qui permet de montrer la maniere dont les individus exprimaient leurs emotions en tentant de transcender une extreme separation physique et experientielle. Ces lettres offrent une perspective unique sur un univers emotif concentre sur l’experience subjective de la guerre ainsi que la facon dont les individus expriment leurs sentiments. Cet article porte sur la correspondance entre jeunes hommes et jeunes femmes, afin de mettre a jour les liens etroits qui se sont formes et ont subsiste malgre la distance et les experiences transformatrices de part et d’autre. Le partage de sentiments, qui donne naissance a des rapports intimes, est transmis dans les echanges de lettres et de colis. Il donne egalement lieu a la creation d’espaces imaginaires qui echappent aux contraintes spatiales et temporelles auxquelles ces jeunes hommes et femmes sont confrontes en temps de guerre.

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.
