This chapter departs from the observation that to understand Édouard Glissant’s intervention into literary criticism and poetics it is necessary to contextualize his later work on the poetics of relation adjacent to earlier work on the notion of “poetic intention” which was written around the time of Barthes’ essay and shortly afterwards. The chapter then moves to a wide ranging exploration of Glissant’s work beginning from this premise examining poetic intention, relation, opacity, and less often considered connections such as Glissant’s alignment with other transnational black writers as Léopold Sédar Senghor and Frantz Fanon. From the former he develops a theory of ideas of creolized orality and from the latter he develops his political valence. The chapter explores Glissant as a figure with a complex history that both draws on, resists, and rethinks the tents of poststructuralist theorizations of language.

摘要

This chapter departs from the observation that to understand Édouard Glissant’s intervention into literary criticism and poetics it is necessary to contextualize his later work on the poetics of relation adjacent to earlier work on the notion of “poetic intention” which was written around the time of Barthes’ essay and shortly afterwards. The chapter then moves to a wide ranging exploration of Glissant’s work beginning from this premise examining poetic intention, relation, opacity, and less often considered connections such as Glissant’s alignment with other transnational black writers as Léopold Sédar Senghor and Frantz Fanon. From the former he develops a theory of ideas of creolized orality and from the latter he develops his political valence. The chapter explores Glissant as a figure with a complex history that both draws on, resists, and rethinks the tents of poststructuralist theorizations of language.
