Tabous et transgressions sexuels dans l'œuvre de Michel Tremblay. Une étude psycho-sociocritique
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Michel Tremblay's work is unique in its particular attention attributed to sexual taboos. Homosexuals, transvestites, prostitutes and incestuous love dominate Tremblay's work and play multiple, complex and fascinating roles. Through a psycho-sociocritical analysis of a corpus of drama and fiction works, representing the topic of taboos and sexual transgressions between the years 40's to 90's of the 20th century, our aim was to first show the dominating presence and the symbolic impact of sexual taboos on the writers imagination. \nBefore the Quiet Revolution, these taboos are omnipresent in Quebec and several of Tremblay's characters manifest this fact, facing identity, psychological and moral issues, related to their personal, family and private life. One could say that any sexual behavior, which deviates from the norm, becomes a taboo at that time. Yet, Tremblay dreams of a more egalitarian society, based on the feeling of love, tolerance and the respect for difference. He speaks openly, as one of the first in Quebec literature, of these very sensitive issues, at a time when Quebec enters into a phase of radical modernization. \nNevertheless, as a whole, the works studied, regardless of genres, belong to a tragic vein and the conflicts that are present there oscillate between rebellion and submission, transgression and acceptation. Our intention was to point out that vision of Tremblay's world is to a certain extent more exact and deeper than the representation conveyed about this period through political, historic and sociological speeches. It illustrates the difficult transition of traditional Quebec culture towards a modern society, with the issues concerning collective and individual values and the conflicts, or else the tragedies that it gave birth to.

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.
