Taking Possession of Marianne: The Place de la République as Political Battleground
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Situated at the frontier of the 3rd, 10th and 11th arrondissements, the Place de la République is renowned as the location for the Morice brothers' statue to the Republic and as a site for left-wing demonstrations. The Morices' Marianne was slow to win the hearts of many left-wing politicians and workers. Upon occasion, the Place de la République became a battleground between demonstrators and police, but Marianne was not the subject of their contestation. The Place became a battleground simply because of its proximity to the Bourse du Travail. It was the threat of the right-wing leagues and the crisis of February, 1934 that prompted the left to take possession of the statue of the Republic. Socialists and Communists did not forget the legitimizing and mobilizing power inherent in the symbols of patriotic republicanism and evoked them again, most notably in leading the resistance to de Gaulle's return to power and his termination of the Fourth Republic in 1958. This was a high point in the struggle for possession of the symbols of republican legitimacy. Subsequently, despite some surprising revivals, the significance of the Place as a site for symbolic contestation has diminished, reflecting the general acceptance of the Fifth Republic.

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.
