Abstract
de filiation de Jean-Luc Coatalem Abstract: (The (auto)biography (re)valued by contemporary literature: Jean-Luc Coatalem's filiation narratives) (Auto)biography has always been the path followed by writers to depict the lives of others, as well as their own existence.In relation with society, literature is constantly evolving, changing form and content, while reflecting outside reality.This article will examine the direction of contemporary literature at the turn of the 1980s, when critics took note of an aesthetic production that existing theories were unable to define.This orientation paved the way for an unprecedented modernity, reinvesting and reevaluating the concept of the traditional (auto)biography.Among these variations, we will focus on the notion of filiation narrative through the work of Jean-Luc Coatalem.We will approach this form as a mutation of (auto)biography, without considering it as a breach of previous written literature, but rather as an inflection and revaluation of (auto)biographemes.By selecting three narratives of filiation, namely Suite indochinoise: Récit de voyage au Vietnam [Indochina Suite: The story of a journey to Vietnam] (1999), Le dernier roi d'Angkor [The last king of Angkor] (2010) and La part du fils [The son's heritage] (2019), we will explore the dimensions of an (auto)biographical approach engaged by Coatalem, who dedicates his stories to little-known, anonymous individuals.In addition, the selected corpus will enable us to illustrate the inflections of this literature, which, instead of focusing on the outstanding figures of history, concentrates on marginal, obscure family existences, through a double challenge: biographical (history seeks to restitute these modest figures) and autobiographical (the story of the Other ultimately turns out to be an autoscopy). Keywords: Jean-Luc Coatalem, (auto)biography, filiation narratives, history of the Other, history of the Self.le corpus sélectionné nous permettra d'illustrer les inflexions de cette littérature qui, au lieu de s'intéresser aux figures marquantes de l'Histoire, se concentre sur des existences familiales marginales, floues, à travers une double visée : biographique (l'histoire cherche à restituer ces figures modestes) et autobiographique (le récit de l'Autre se révèle finalement être une autoscopie).

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.
