Constructions et représentation de la classe ouvrière du Nord du Québec à Fermont
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In an increasingly globalized world, where the capitalist model is ubiquitous, the central question in the attempt at group classification concerns the link between the commercialization of a work force and the social stratification of the population in terms of class, gender, and ethnicity. The growing demands of globalization lead to new and innovative modes of production, which in turn transform the dynamics involved in defining and regulating populations. In current national affairs in Canada, this is best exemplified in the debate over the exploitation of Quebec's northern resources. \n \nThe project to exploit Quebec's northern riches is a relatively recent phenomenon; the process whereby a social class is formed, however, is not. Given the vicissitudes of this process, it seems pertinent to reexamine the economic, sociological and historical elements which influenced the theoretical discourse on a social class whose existence is intrinsically linked with the exploitation of natural resources, namely the workers of northern Quebec. \n \nIn Fermont, a town located in northern Quebec, mining companies have employed since 2011 a large number of workers coming from other regions of Quebec, known as permanent non-residents. Thus, the balance of the social structure maintained by the local workers is faced with new dynamics of social geographic mobility. In the workplace, women and Native Americans are also affected by the power relations at the interpersonal level in daily life owing to the fact that the jobs in the industrial mining sector and in construction are socially and historically founded on specific social and cultural traits (namely, white and male). The working class of northern Quebec is therefore redefined in its relationships to the permanent non-resident workers as well to its gender and indigenous minorities, relationships which will doubtless engender a complex and heterogeneous social structure.

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.
