The possibility of a political and identity-based recomposition within a pluralistic Quebec transpires contemporary politicial thought. Gérard Bouchard has proposed an identity-based refoundation so as to renew, broaden and render more inclusive the French-Canadian subject as it was shaped by history, in the hope that the concept of sovereignty would find new meaning. From another perspective, Jocelyn Létourneau challenges Bouchard's voluntarism by bringing forth the idea that one should come to terms with the Québécois' "ambivalence of being", an ambivalence which makes them resistant to strongly asserted political positions. Beyond their fundamental differences the two theses concur in a certain underestimating of the importance of communitarism in the shaping of francophone conscience, that of Bouchard in abolishing a memory too narrowly associated with the French-Canadian experience and that of Létourneau in pushing aside the idea of a political project.
