The Fictionalization of History in the Literature, Urban Planning and Art of Quebec: From the Search of an Origin to Transnationalism and Counter-Hegemonic Globalization
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The article analyzes the changes that took place in Québec in the field of the fictionalization of History at the turn of the 20th/21st centuries. Its central hypothesis sustains that the last three decades of the 20th century witnessed a cognitive vocation that developed in close connexion with the process of identity construction and that privileged the return to the Québécois historical past. This phenomenon was evident in the canonical novel (Jacques Godbout, Jacques Folch-Ribas), the best-seller (Arlette Cousture, Louis Caron), the theatre (Roland Lepage, Jean Provencher) and the documentary (Jacques Godbout); it was also manifest in urban planning (Place Royale) and gave origin to the historical murals that celebrated the change of Millennium. In the 21st Century, the historical contents and the cognitive vocation have changed their emphasis to suit the epistemological and ideological developments referred to by Boaventura de Sousa Santos as a counter-hegemonic globalization, which was expressed in strongly transnational literatures and visual arts. From this perspective, the article focuses on the novelBeatrice & Virgil (2010) by Yann Martel, the play Incendies by Wajdi Mouawad and the work of the Québécois finalists of the Prix Artistique Sobey 2010 ( Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal), all instances that challenge the geopolitical, cultural and even linguistic criteria to define literary/artistic identities

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.
