The representation of science and technology in genres of Vatican discourse
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The study presented in this chapter focuses on the discursive representations of science and technology embedded in Laudato Si’, an instance of a traditional print genre in the process of becoming digitalized. The study describes the epistemic discursive activity organized by two genre sets, with Laudato Si’ occupying a place in both. The first genre set, which we have labelled the “science/technology genre set,” has functioned for almost a century as a discursive vehicle supporting an intertextual chain of uptake and recontextualization used in developing an evolving body of institutional knowledge and collective argumentation regarding science and technology, knowledge and argumentation that eventually emerged in Laudato Si’. The second digital genre set, which we refer to as the “launch-day genre set” was employed to rapidly disseminate Laudato Si’ around the world. As well, we characterize Laudato Si’ as an instance of a “hybrid genre,” a genre combining certain affordances of digital communication with valued residual features of an antecedent genre and its traditional print text.

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.
