Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Resume: Cet article propose une analyse comparative entre quatre livres pour la jeunesse consacres a l'Holocauste et les recits traditionnels («mainstream») du Canada; il tente egalement de preciser leur specificite par rapport aux ouvrages traitant de la Shoah publies a l'etranger. L'etude des elements relatifs a l'identite canadienne depasse la simple comparaison avec les caracteristiques essentielles des œuvres et des genres dominants. Elle souleve la question du Savoir, c'est-a-dire qu'elle aura chercher a decouvrir ce que les enfants canadiens doivent connaitre sur l'Holocauste. L'auteure de l'article devoile les aspects inquietants que peuvent presenter les livres sur l'Holocauste lorsqu'ils abordent la question de l'identite nationale et s'efforcent de situer les problemes relies a la Shoah dans un contexte canadien. Summary: This essay interrogates the relationship between Holocaust children's books and mainstream Canadian children's fiction. It considers what Canadian means in Holocaust children's books and whether Canadian-authored Holocaust children's books differ in any significant way from Holocaust children's books published outside Canada. It argues that questions about Canadian identity in Holocaust children's literature are provoked but not answered by the structural analysis provided by the list of shared characteristics of mainstream Canadian children's novels. Affirming that identity is also a matter of knowledge, the essay investigates what Canadian children are expected to know about the Holocaust. Through an analysis of four recently published books, the essay demonstrates the disturbing implications when children's books about the Holocaust also take on questions of Canadian identity and locate Holocaust issues in a contemporary Canadian setting. Three of the books are Canadian: Kathy Kacer's Clara's War , Sherie Posesorski's Escape Plans , and Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch's Hope's War ; one, Jackie French's Hitler's Daughter, is Australian.

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.
