The transformation of Québec's identity over the past half-century should be seen less as a metamorphosis in the way Québec society would define itself than as an ideological conflict focused on the actual definition of this identity, and hence of the model of society that was proposed for Québec. This ideological struggle was led primarily by progressive philosophy in the forms that it successively took on, embodying personalism, Marxist-leaning socialism, and multiculturalism. However, despite an increasingly radical progressive critique, and especially with the support of an increasingly powerful and coercive institutional system, Québec's historical national identity came into its own politically and ideologically, and broke away from the various ideological reconstruction efforts to which it was submitted. This paper traces the terms of this ideological struggle over the issue of Québec's identity, from the Quiet Revolution through to the reasonable accommodation crisis.

This essay undertakes a review of national and international law to demonstrate that law is mainly an ideological and variable instrument of the State and of the United Nations, which is a by-product of the states. In this perspective, the author opposes the pragmatical ideology of resistance against the sovereign state to the juridical legitimation and the behaviour of the States who reluctantly have conceded some civil and political rights. Those rights are endangered by the growing bureaucratization of the state, the inflation of the juridical norms and rules, in addition to the permanent repressive characters of the State. The criticism of the contradiction and the variation of the rule of law when it relates to "human rights" is also extended to international law as well as to the international organizations.

SummaryThis article has for its object the discourse of leaders of community associations (Italian, Jewish, Haitian and Lebanese) in the Montreal region bearing on the national question. These leaders are implicated in social and political action and contribute to the definition of particular identities and make demands based on ethnicity. This social construction of ethnicity and the political mobilisation based on ethnicity is part of the special context in Quebec marked by the national question. The discourse is analysed in reference to three themes: the linguistic question, identity references, political orientations. The interpretation bears on the theoretical reflexion on ethnicity as a political category for action, on the analysis made of the role of the state regarding the gestion of ethnicity in the Canadian and Quebecois contexts and on the relations of force between them.

The objective of this research is to understand to what extent different forms of media stigmatization have prompted some residents living in urban working-class neighbourhoods to consult sometimes far-right or “conspiratorial” protest websites. A survey was conducted among adults who were met in their youth during an immersive study for a doctoral thesis on the lifestyles of young people in urban neighbourhoods. We then used the data collected to understand the processes that led the majority of our participants to turn away from traditional media and consult websites offering protest discourses against institutions. In this empirical work, we sought to grasp how our respondents turned to far-right, anti-Semitic, conspiratorial or protest websites or blogs with the development of the internet.
