Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Resume: Les conceptions traditionelles de l'identite canadienne qui president a notre lecture des textes litteraires influent egalement sur notre perception des particularismes de la litterature pour la jeunesse dite regionale. A partir de six albums illustres, dont trois proviennent des Prairies et trois du Quebec, l'auteur s'attache a demontrer que les appellations cannadienne et regionale sont des categories importantes mais secondaires dans l'appreciation de ces ouvrages. La critique canadienne a tendace a surevaluer ces caracteristiques secondaires au detriment des qualites explicitement et specifiquement litteraires de ces textes. Summary: The traditional conceptions, recently contested, of Canadian identity that affects the ways we read literary texts in general also affect our reading of Canadian children's literature. This article considers six picture books, three by Prairie writers and three from Quebec, in order to make the point that both Canadian and regional categories should be understood as helpful markers that are secondary to the primary qualities of the six books as fictions (while might be more useful term in postcolonial discussions than it was when it was simply opposed to nation). Prairie writing and writing from Quebec can indeed be distinguished by secondary characteristics, but in Canadian criticism we have tended to overvalue these kinds of secondary characteristics and either undervalue, or pay less attention to, the more explicitly and specifically literary qualities of these and other texts.

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.
