At the heart of Russian philosopher and writer Alexander Zinoviev's work we find a reflection around different aspects of democracy in contemporary societies. He calls «occidentism» the dominant aspect of Western society and analyzes its principal elements: market, democracy, ideology. He denounces the present capitalistic world, which he qualifies as «postdemocratic», and the colonial strategy of Western powers were values such as democracy or human's rights are used as ideological weapons. To characterize this strategy, the philosopher uses expressions such as «colonial democracy» or «totalitarian democracy».

In the editorial of the first issue of a magazine, its founders define themselves as a group, present their analysis of the intellectual and social situation, specify their goals and address their target clientele. On the basis of a corpus of some five hundred Quebec magazines from the turn of the century through to the present, three periods are traced in the history of the intellectuals and their relationship with politics: inclusion of the intellectual domain within the domain of politics, subordination of politics to the intellectual and finally, dissociation of the two domains. Each of these phases is characterized by a literary genre and a political color that lend themselves to a synchronic and diachronic analysis of these texts.

Much of Canada was colonized by France long before the arrival of the British in the mid-eighteenth century. This article examines how France's assertion of sovereignty impacts the regime of Aboriginal title recognized under Canadian law of British origin. In the first section, the author highlights a jurisprudential trend that assesses Indigenous territorial control at the time of British sovereignty's assertion, rather than during French occupation, when applying the criterion of exclusive control—a key factor in recognizing Aboriginal title. They then illustrate how this approach risks undermining claims to ancestral title by Indigenous peoples whose ancestors lost exclusive control of their territory under the French colonial regime.
