Qualifier, témoigner, dénoncer le viol ordinaire : la justice réparatrice comme espace de justice épistémique
Bibliographic record
Abstract
While rape mythology constructs this crime as an extraordinary event caused by a deviant stranger, this thesis proposes a conceptualisation of 'ordinary rape' based on three criteria: the relationship of proximity between the victim and the perpetrator, the everyday situation, and the intimacy between the two individuals. Far from trivialising gender-based violence, the concept of ordinary rape reveals the heteronormative mechanisms at work in the (re)production of sexual violence, in the wake of the American feminist theories of 'date rape' in the 1980s. Based on the experiential knowledge of five women gathered in semi-directive interviews, this research analyses the epistemic injustices that these victims suffer when they seek to qualify, testify about and denounce their rape (hermeneutic, testimonial, agential injustices, silencing, etc.). The standpoint theory has made it possible to move away from the penal meanings of what makes for justice and from behaviours determined by the figure of the 'ideal victim'. The expectations of epistemic justice identified do not correspond to the logic and aims of the criminal justice system, whether it is a matter of victims naming the event according to the continuum of sexual violence, recounting the rape and its consequences without having their credibility assessed, being recognised as a victim without having to perform stereotyped norms, or confronting the man who committed the rape to obtain answers to their questions. This thesis shows that the restorative justice paradigm is able to meet these normative expectations through the spaces for dialogue and unconditional listening that it offers. Based on fieldwork carried out in Quebec within an extra-judicial restorative justice network, this research shows that the relational mediation observed enables victims to reclaim their epistemic agency, which was radically denied during the rape.

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.
