Conversation questions for Professors Anne Simon and Stephanie Posthumus
Bibliographic record
Abstract
These conversations highlight the ways in which Stéphanie Posthumus and Anne Simon, who work in different academic fields but often look at similar literary texts written in French, envision ecocriticism and zoopoetics. Drawing on their research of the last twenty years, they discuss intersections and differences of these two approaches within their respective geographical contexts, North American and European (and more specifically French). They locate ecocriticism and zoopoetics in the complex and plural histories of their emergence and development while also making comparisons with similar fields such as geopoetics and environmental humanities. They foreground key objectives such as decentering the human and grounding language in the body, advocating for subjects deemed “unsuitable,” bringing together literature, ecologies and animal space-time, examining their objects of study from the perspective of the text’s individual stylistic innovations, reconfiguring literary canons and literary histories, and inventing new narratives and explorations around terms such as oikos, machines, arche…) Examining notions like identity, limits and interstices, they underscore the political and ethical dimensions of ecocritical or zoopoetic literature. Finally, they affirm the ever-changing frontiers and constantly evolving perspectives of their two fields.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
