This article aims at clarifying the differences between the Kuomintang, the Chinese national party based on Taiwan, tempted by conditional unification with China, and the DPP, the indigenous pro-Taiwan party. After showing how these two parties share a basic common understanding of the Republic of China on Taiwan as being a sovereign entity, this paper shows where are the true lines of demarcation between the two political forces: on the ultimate goals on terms of nation building, on social policy and on the best way to negotiate with an ever growing China. The article questions the reasons behind the obvious diminished importance of the national identity debate in the 2012 elections, and shows that the vote for Ma Ying-jeou, in 2012 just as in 2008, is not equivalent to a vote for China, nor to a vote for unification. Last, it tries to understand what are the reasons that led swing voters, who hesitated until the last moment, to finally decide to give a second mandate to a President that is not anymore popular, and who is generally not considered by most of them as being very competent.

Martin Heidegger was profoundly marked by his reading of Fyodor Dostoevsky's "Political Writings", which he read in the edition by Dmitry Sergeyevich Merezhkovsky and Arthur Moeller van den Bruck, the latter being the main instigator of the Conservative German Revolution. From these writings Heidegger retained the notion of homeland (Heimat) and derived a racial conception of Germanity and Russianity that found positive expression in his Black Notebooks of 1939-41, coeval with the German-Soviet Pact. But this does not mean that Heidegger favored Russia on all points. Indeed, Heidegger's successive statements on Russia show, with all the ambivalence characterizing the Hitlerian and Nazi vision of the world in this respect, that Russia remained for him an adversary whose strength he measured vis-a-vis the Germans, whom considered the only truly historical and metaphysical people.

This article analyzes the perception of the Third Reich in Quebec intellectual journals between 1933 and 1947 from three different perspectives: first, by examining the historical context, in a period characterized by intense cultural and intellectual creativity; second, by analyzing the major themes surrounding the perception of the Third Reich in Quebec intellectual journals, a perception influenced by a new and very strong interest in German politics and German culture, which reflected a desire to understand Hitler's rise to power and the phenomenon of Nazism; and, finally, by focussing on key rhetorical devices, especially the discourse on “the two Germanies” and the distinction established between the German people as a whole and collective responsibility for Nazi crimes.
