Abstract

A decade after Édouard Glissant’s passing, how have his self-proclaimed intellectual heirs and scholars of his work placed this work in the contemporary Western, francophone, Caribbean, or global theoretical landscape? What role does his historical and biographical contextualization, such as describing the thinker as Martinican, Black, or francophone play in shaping his legacy? What are the unacknowledged hierarchies and ideological assumptions that shape these different interpretations of the same body of work? How do notions of influence, filiation, and debt affect the reception and the world-making potentialities of key concepts such as ‘Tout-monde’, ‘chaos-monde’, or ‘Relation’?
