EN<\/strong> \u00c9douard Glissant (1928 \u2013 2011) was a French writer, poet, philosopher, and literary critic from Martinique. He is widely recognised as one of the most influential figures in Caribbean thought and cultural commentary and Francophone literature. In his text Poetics of Relation<\/em>, Glissant explores the concept of opacity, which is the lack of transparency, the untransability, the unknowability. He demands the “right to opacity,” indicating the oppressed\u2014which have historically been constructed as the Other\u2014can and should be allowed to be opaque, to not be completely understood, and to simply exist as different. The colonizer perceived the colonized as fundamentally different and opposed, creating a sense of Otherness. This prevented the colonizer from truly understanding the colonized and required the colonized to conform to the colonizer’s cognitive framework. Consequently, the colonized were dominated and subjected to the colonizer’s demands for transparency and conformity. Glissant rejects this transparency and defends opacity and difference because other modes of understanding do exist. That is, Glissant calls for understanding and accepting difference without measuring that difference to an “ideal scale” and comparing and making judgements, “without creating a hierarchy”\u2014as Western thought has done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
DE <\/strong> Aus der Analyse der Kreolisierung (cr\u00e9olisation<\/em>) gewinnt \u00c9douard Glissant (1928 \u2013 2011) ein Gesellschaftliches Modell von universaler Bedeutung. \u201eKeine Kultur ist heute isoliert von den anderen. Es gibt keine reinen Kulturen, das w\u00e4re l\u00e4cherlich. Die Spur des Lebens wird nicht durch das Identische gelegt, sondern durch das Verschiedene. Das Gleiche produziert: nichts. Das beginnt schon mit der Genetik. Zwei gleiche Zellen k\u00f6nnen nichts Neues produzieren. Und in der Kultur ist das auch so.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SP <\/strong> \u00c9douard Glissant (1928 \u2013 2011) propuso el concepto de \u201cTodo-Mundo\u201d que abarca todas estas concepciones previas. El \u201cTodo-Mundo\u201d es el espacio global donde se procesan los intercambios debidos a la \u201crelaci\u00f3n\u201d; se define como \u201cel universo que cambia y perdura intercambi\u00e1ndose y la vis\u00f3n que tenemos de este universo\u201d.\u200b Este concepto cuestiona la universalidad y la sobrevivencia de los pueblos y las culturas en la mundializaci\u00f3n. M\u00e1s all\u00e1 del imperialismo, Glissant propone una tercera v\u00eda, una visi\u00f3n po\u00e9tica del mundo, basada en el pensamiento del temblor, fr\u00e1gil e imprevisible, que preserva la diversidad del mundo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/opacite.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/houten_lepel-1024x168.png\")
