Abstract
In this paper, we analyze the award-winning graphic novel Jane, le renard & moi by Fanny Britt and Isabelle Arsenault, translated into English as Jane, the Fox & Me by Christelle Morelli and Susan Ouriou. We analyze the representation of distorted body image, bullying, and the resulting cultural displacement in the work, particularly in relation to discourses about Canadian nationality. We do this by examining the challenges of translation and how the text travelled from the French to the English contexts. We argue that, in Jane, the Fox & Me, while the sense of place is left largely intact, domestication of the text (Ritta Oittinen, Translating, "Theory") is significant in places. As a result, the translation elides important issues of language difference and history, which we argue are reminiscent of a Québécois imaginary of belonging and nationhood.

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 it
