Les vertiges du personnage contemporain
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Michel Biron propose une lecture innovante du. roman québécois contemporain à partir de la notion de vertige, définie par Camille de Toledo comme la condition même du sujet d’aujourd’hui face à un monde dont le sol se dérobe constamment sous ses pieds. L’analyse attentive d’une dizaine d’œuvres parmi les plus originales et les plus mémorables parues depuis 2000 montre à quel point le vertige a une résonance particulière au Québec, où le sentiment d’irréalité a une longue histoire. Contrairement aux héros des tragédies historiques, les personnages ici évoqués vivent dans un monde non conflictuel qui les plonge dans le tournis infini du temps, celui du grand loisir. Ce non-conflit représente un véritable défi narratif, éthique et esthétique, car comment raconter l’histoire d’un sujet qui ne cesse d’éprouver sa mélancolie et son évanescence ? Sous la loupe de l’essayiste, les personnages inventés par Nelly Arcan, Marie-Claire Blais, Maxime Raymond Bock, Michael Delisle, Nicolas Dickner, Dominique Fortier, Suzanne Jacob, Dany Laferrière, Kev Lambert et Patrick Nicol semblent témoigner de nouvelles quêtes de sens auxquelles cherche à répondre la littérature québécoise depuis 2000.

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.
