La fonction de l'essai dans la demarche poetique de Fernand Ouellette /
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Focusing on the entire literary works of Fernand Ouellette, that is to say all the writings published in collections from 1953 to 2000, the present thesis studies the evolution of his poetical writing in comparison with his writing of the essay, from a perspective both philosophical (development and evolution of concepts) and rhetorical (poetics and the form of thought). A chronological approach allows to draw three stages within the evolution of his works: (1) the period of lightning (1955--1973), which is linked to the poetics of revelation; (2) the period of wandering (1974--1986), when the poetics of relation is developed; (3) the mask of the augur (1987--2000), when occurs the meeting of the poetics of revelation and relation. Fernand Ouellette is one of the most important writers of his generation (the so-called generation of l'Hexagone) as well as of Quebec's literary history. Owing to romanticism and existentialism, he belongs to a humanistic and idealistic movement which advocates the total commitment of the artist. Alternately poet, essayist, autobiographer, biographer, literary critic and novelist, his production is remarkable not only because of its literary quality but also because of its intellectual and spiritual requirements. His works foster a filiation relationship with many artists and philosophers, mostly European. Centered between the desire of unity which sees an absolute in poetry, and the need of uniqueness which commands to take part in history, Ouellette's literary production, from the very first titles, is articulated on a dynamics, initially dual and then dialogical, establishing a relation between the lyrical subject, literally poetic, and the dialectical subject, corresponding to the figure of the essayist. By his commitment to fiction and self-portrait, two forms that are both privileged not only in autobiography but also within the novel and literary criticism, a dialectic is gradually developed, putting side by side poetry and essay without confusing them; it is through this dialectic that the figure of the subject is allowed to take shape. The result is an open literary production in which the function of the essay is essential to the poetical drive forward, while writing, based on movement, is both present to the World and oriented towards a mystical quest.

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.
