Abstract
FEMMES ET EXILS: FORMS ET FIGURES sous la direction de Dominique Bourque et Nellie Hogikyan; preface de Gloria Escomel Quebec: Presses de l'Universite Laval, 2010 Exile, a mindset intertwined with the fate of displaced peoples, has been a central concern since the second half of the twentieth century post-imperialist world, and has been given special attention and focus in scientific research along with Diaspora and Migration Studies. However, it is commonly known that women (and their children) constitute the great majority of the displaced (1). The volume on Women and Exile(s) [Femmes et Exils], edited by Dominique Bourque and Nellie Hogikyan, focuses specifically on women's experiences as they are expressed in literature, visual and fine arts, as well as in other creative genres such as performance narratives and autobiography. The book, written in French, presents poetic and re-inventive attempts in the field of cultural displacements and can be considered as an important contribution to Cultural Studies. The essays in this anthology re-examine the nature and the set of terms associated with women's mobility since the emergence of women's writing and up-till present-day transnational migrations. For instance, as theorized by feminists, it has been widely established that women's transgression of national borders on one hand, and of the grounded categories of the social order on the other hand, has allowed them to experience flexible citizenship avant la lettre. The anthology Femmes et exits offers a theoretical account that reviews the system of terms of exile and the multiple displacements of women in an increasingly fluid world, with examples of de/-constructed subjectivities in the writings of francophone migrant women across borders and generations. The large-scope and innovative introduction situates socially (patriarchy, colonialism, globalization, hetero-normativity) and esthetically (>, >, etc.) the multiple displacements of women. The introduction can be used as a rich and complex reference for the study of exile and diaspora for it offers a full theoretical frame that reviews the terminologies associated with exile and migration in general and proposes a new category, the post-exile, in order to account for the generational factor in the context of displacement. It is important to note that the majority of the authors in this collection of essays are Canadian citizens and they discuss works produced by artists from various backgrounds and origins. This reflects Canada's fundamental politics and reality of multi- and interculturalism. Other contributions on European, Japanese and Islamic cultures add to the international dimension of the anthology. In addition to a preface by Quebec writer and lecturer Gloria Escomel, the volume consists of two main sections: Thematic Exiles and Poetic Exiles. …

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
