« Nous avons le choix entre l’oubli et les urubus ». La cinéphilie télévisuelle de François Mauriac
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article explores François Mauriac’s television cinephilia, as he authored nearly 200 “telechronicles” between 1959 and 1964, first for L’Express and later for Le Figaro littéraire. During an era when television was emerging as a mass medium, Mauriac, an Académie Française member and Nobel laureate, examined its influence on culture and society. His chronicles, oscillating between admiration and critique, analyzed television as an intermedial crossroads where cinema, literature, and current events converged. Through an unconventional cinephilia, he observed the evolution of cinema, from the silent era to the rise of television films, while addressing the aesthetic and moral challenges of televised adaptations. For Mauriac, television became a tool for rereading and transmitting works, a space where past and present engaged in dialogue. His telechronicles reflect a unique perspective on the ambivalence of television and its role in revealing cultural transformations.

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.
