Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Suite à la vente de la Louisiane par Napoléon en 1803, les territoires à l’ouest du Mississippi excitent convoitise et curiosité et motivent le financement de grandes expéditions. Mais ces nouveaux territoires de l’Union attirent également des explorateurs individuels désireux de découvrir et de faire partager les curiosités d’un environnement encore relativement peu exploité. C’est ainsi qu’en 1818-1819 l’Arkansas est exploré, lors d’expéditions séparées, par deux hommes, l’Américain Henry Rowe Schoolcraft et le Britannique Thomas Nuttall. Confrontés à un espace où les colons américains vivent encore dans des conditions rudimentaires et coexistent avec populations indigènes, colons français et canadiens, les deux hommes vont faire l’expérience de différentes pratiques de sociabilité qui sont autant de témoignages de la diversité culturelle de ce front pionnier. Cet article se propose d’examiner la manière dont ces deux voyageurs appréhendent, apprécient ou rejettent les formes de sociabilité auxquelles ils sont mêlés dans le microcosme de cette frontier society.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
