Описание: Йdouard Glissant was a leading voice in contemporary debates centering on the postcolonial condition and on the present and future of globalisation respectively. Prolific as both a theorist and a literary author, Glissant started his career as a contemporary of Frantz Fanon in the early days of francophone postcolonial thought. In the latter part of his career, by contrast, Glissant's vision pushed beyond the boundaries of postcolonialism to encompass the contemporary phenomenon of globalisation. In Йdouard Glissant: A Poetics of Resistance, Sam Coombes offers a detailed analysis of Glissant's thought, setting out the reasons why Glissant's vision for a world of intercultural interaction both reflects but also seeks to provide a correction to some of the leading tendencies commonly associated with contemporary theory today.

Offering detailed analyses of key concepts such as 'creolisation', 'Relation', 'errantry', 'opacity' and the 'detour', Sam Coombes analyses the manifold ways in which Glissant's oeuvre of the last twenty or so years, being both illuminating and critical of the world we live in, could prove vital to our collective futures. Glissant's oeuvre paves the way for an alternative vision for the 21st century, one which makes full use of the opportunities for mass intercultural communication which globalisation and the information revolution have provided but which nevertheless guarantees full respect for minoritarian cultures and languages.

Описание: A reevaluation of ?douard Glissant that centers on the catastrophe of the Middle Passage and creates deep, original theories of trauma and Caribbeanness  While philosophy has undertaken the work of accounting for Europe’s traumatic history, the field has not shown the same attention to the catastrophe known as the Middle Passage. It is a history that requires its own ideas that emerge organically from the societies that experienced the Middle Passage and its consequences firsthand. Glissant and the Middle Passage offers a new, important approach to this neglected calamity by examining the thought of ?douard Glissant, particularly his development of Caribbeanness as a critical concept rooted in the experience of the slave trade and its aftermath in colonialism.In dialogue with key theorists of catastrophe and trauma-including Aim? C?saire, Frantz Fanon, George Lamming, Gilles Deleuze, F?lix Guattari, Derek Walcott, as well as key figures in Holocaust studies-Glissant and the Middle Passage hones a sharp sense of the specifically Caribbean varieties of loss, developing them into a transformative philosophical idea. Using the Plantation as a critical concept, John E. Drabinski creolizes notions of rhizome and nomad, examining what kinds of aesthetics grow from these roots and offering reconsiderations of what constitutes intellectual work and cultural production.Glissant and the Middle Passage establishes Glissant’s proper place as a key theorist of ruin, catastrophe, abyss, and memory. Identifying his insistence on memories and histories tied to place as the crucial geography at the heart of his work, this book imparts an innovative new response to the specific historical experiences of the Middle Passage.
