""I don't get out without a fight"": exploring the life stories of Chilean Exiles
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This project draws upon interviews with members of the Chilean exile community in Winnipeg, focusing on the life stories of Jose and Veronica-a couple exiled in 1976.Jose's narrative of pre-exile life in Chile is typical of the dominant Chilean exile narrative.His story establishes his credibility as a political refugee, concentrating on Chilean politics and the seriousness of his political activity.Veronica, however, tells a very different account of life in Chile.Her narrative is characterized by teenage hijinks, detachment from Chile's socialist project, and excitement about moving to Canada.Her divergence from the dominant exile narrative is best understood through an exploration of her life as a young woman in Chile and her more recent Canadian experiences.Both are essential components to the way she remembers and narrates her life story.Read against Jose's contrasting narrative, Veronica's story sheds light on a profoundly different exile experience.iii I would like to thank primarily Veronica, who allowed me into her home and spent countless hours with me narrating and discussing her life.Without your incredible generosity, this life story would not have been possible.Along the same line, I thankfully acknowledge the time of all the other Chilean-Canadians with whom I have spoken over the past few years.All of our talks have bettered my understanding of the Chilean exile experience.My deepest gratitude goes to my supervisor, Dr. Alec Dawson, who has not only provided insight into the historical questions with which I have grappled over the past two years but has, more importantly, challenged me to rethink those very questions.

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.
