Abstract
The appellation of migrant writing, one of the forms of decentering of Québécois literature since the decade of the 1980s, is called into question by critics, as well as by the creators. It is especially the closure of the corpus which obstructs reading that is being questioned, because it arranges, whereas one wanted to disturb or de-range. This article examines what critics, on the one hand, warn against in terms of this static nomination, and how, on the other hand, some women writers (Agnant, Chen, Farhoud, Milic´evic´, Werbowski, Shimazaki), reject the appellation, because for them, literature is worked out in imagination without borders. To illustrate their extra-literary remarks, we will examine briefly some of their works. This analysis will show that the themes of belonging and migrance have changed considerably since the 1980s. More and more, the works of the writers born abroad share the concerns of other local writers about matters of the self and of the self’s relation to the world, where the self thinks itself in a « trans-local » mode, a mode of « disquietude », which intends to keep its dynamic and changing movements within the literary.

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.
