Additionally, Arcand hosted a radio show The Commonplace in collaboration with Serge Bouchard. Several texts and extracts of these shows were published between 1993 and 2003.
Arcand and Bouchard were the authors of a humor column entitled "Bien vu!", in the journal Science Quebec. Arcand's work with the Cuiva in Columbia was documented in the film, Last of the Cuiva (Disappearing World Series of Anthropological films, 1971).
Arcand is the author of many books. In his prominent 1993 volume The Jaguar and the Anteater: Pornography and the Modern World Arcand examines various attempts to expose the negative effects of pornography, from the American Meese Commission to feminist arguments, and offers clinical, empirical, and moral definitions of pornography.
After establishing the historical development of pornography and revealing the contradictory nature of many arguments for and against pornography, Arcand then, according to New Statesman Society reviewer Elizabeth Wilson, considers “modernity and the relationship of pornography to the modern and contemporary growth of privacy, individualism and isolation”.
