Migratory Utilitarianism and Temporary Migration Programmes: A Comparative Study of OFII Contracts (France) and Contratos en Origen (Spain)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Drawing on our theses on the intensive agriculture labour markets in Provence and Andalusia (Décosse, 2011; Hellio, 2014), this article offers a reflection on contemporary migratory utilitarianism. By comparing OFII contracts and contratos en origen, we contrast two differently gendered variations of the same utilitarian model for the management of foreign workers: the temporary migration programme (TMP). This article examines the way in which this migratory architecture, based on an injunction to circulate, is founded on an interconnection between seasonal wage employment and the rural and/or domestic economy in the country of origin. We then briefly trace the genealogy of these schemes, before focusing on the concepts created to ensure their revival at the turn of the 21st century. After presenting our arguments, which combine empirical investigation in the agricultural sector with a socio-historical approach, we suggest a theoretical definition of TMPs as archetypes of migratory utilitarianism.

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.
