E. douard Glissant Livres

Dieses Notebook ist eine Hommage des Kurators Hans Ulrich Obrist an den in diesem Jahr verstorbenen französischen Schriftsteller, Dichter und Philosophen Édouard Glissant (1928–2011). Glissant, einer der bedeutendsten Autoren der französischsprachigen Karibik und Wegbereiter des postkolonialen Denkens, machte aufmerksam auf »Möglichkeiten eines globalen Austauschs, die die Kultur nicht homogenisieren, sondern eine Differenz produzieren, aus der Neues entstehen kann«. Obrist begegnete Glissant, einer Empfehlung von Alighiero Boetti folgend, schon in den Anfängen seiner Arbeit als Kurator, und las seine Bücher, bevor er ihn später auch persönlich traf. Obrist entwirft ein facettenreiches Bild des Intellektuellen, indem er einige von dessen Schlüsselkonzepten – die Kreolisierung der Welt, das »archipelische Denken«, das Museum als Archipel sowie die Utopie – ausführt – Ideen, die ihren Niederschlag auch in persönlichen Widmungen, Notizen und Zeichnungen gefunden haben, mit denen Glissant die hier in einer Auswahl reproduzierten Titelseiten seiner Bücher versehen hat. Édouard Glissant (1928–2011) war ein französischer Schriftsteller, Dichter und Philosoph. Der Kurator und Kritiker Hans Ulrich Obrist (*1968) ist Co-Director, Exhibitions and Programmes und Director of International Projects an der Serpentine Gallery, London.

Les quatre morts du vieil homme Longoué, les fiertés de Rochebrune, la folie de Marie Celat, les résurrections de Stepan Stepanovitch, les Mémoires de guerre de Rigobert Massoul, les prédestinations d'Artémise et de Marie-Annie, et combien d'autres épisodes, avec une multitude de personnages, - les trois Anestor, le dieu du commerce et de l'invention, sans compter ces bêtes prédestinées : le cochon fou et la vache consacrée de Monsieur Lomé, le coq sauvage et le matouchatte - précèdent, préparent ou accompagnent la dérive de Mathieu Béluse et de Raphaël Targin, dans le Tout-monde.Ils sont le sel de la Diversité. Ils ont dépassé les limites et les frontières, ils mélangent les langages, ils déménagent les langues, ils transbahutent, ils tombent dans la folie du monde, on les refoule et les exclut de la puissance du Territoire mais, ils sont la terre elle-même, ils vont au-devant de nous, ils voient, loin devant, ce point fixe qu'il faudra dépasser une fois encore.

A major work by this prominent Caribbean author and philosopher, available for the first time in English

This marks the publication of the first English-language translation of Poetic Intention, Glissant’s classic meditation on poetry and art. In this wide-ranging book, Glissant discusses poets, including Stéphane Mallarmé and Saint-John Perse, and visual artists, such as the Surrealist painters Matta and Wilfredo Lam, arguing for the importance of the global position of art. He states that a poem, in its intention, must never deny the “way of the world.” Capacious, inventive, and unique, Glissant’s Poetic Intention creates a new landscape for understanding the relationship between aesthetics and politics.

The Fourth Century tells of the quest by young Mathieu Béluse to discover the lost history of his country, Martinique. Aware that the officially recorded version he learned in school omits and distorts, he turns to a quimboiseur named Papa Longoué. This old man of the forest, a healer, seer, and storyteller, knows the oral tradition and its relation to the powers of the land and the forces of nature. He tells of the love-hate relationship between the Longoué and Béluse families, whose ancestors were brought as slaves to Martinique. Upon arrival, Longoué immediately escaped and went to live in the hills as a maroon. Béluse remained in slavery. The intense relationship that had formed between the two men in Africa continued and came to encompass the relations between their masters, or, in the case of Longoué, his would-be master, and their descendants. The Fourth Century closes the gap between the families as Papa Longoué, last of his line, conveys the history to Mathieu Béluse, who becomes his heir.

This volume collects and translates--most for the first time--the nine volumes of poetry published by Édouard Glissant, one of the great writers of the twentieth century. The poems bring to life what Glissant calls "an archipela

The multiple narrators in this novel grapple with their unrecorded history on Martinique, first as slaves and then in relation to the wider world.

"Manifestos brings together for the first time in English the manifestos written by Édouard Glissant and Patrick Chamoiseau between 2000 and 2009. Composed in part in the aftermath of Barack Obama's election in 2008, the texts resonate with the current context of divided identities and criticisms of multiculturalism. The individual texts grapple with concrete historical and political moments in France, the Caribbean, and North America. Across the manifestos, as well as two collectively signed op-eds, the authors engage with socio-political aspects of climate catastrophe, resource extraction, toxicity, and neocolonialism. Throughout the collection, Glissant and Chamoiseau engage with key themes articulated through their poetic vocabulary, including Relation, globalization, globality (mondialité), anti-universalism, métissage, the tout-monde ("whole-world") and the tout-vivant ("all-living," including the relationship of humans to each other and "nature"), créolité and the creolization of the world, and the liberation from community assignations in response to individualism and neoliberal societies. Translated as the first volume in the Planetarities series with Goldsmiths Press, the themes of Manifestos resonate with the planetary as they work in response to contemporary forms of (economic) globalization, western capitalism, identity politics, and urban, digital and cosmic ecosystems, as well as the role of the poet-writer. A distinguishing feature of this publication is its interventional aspect, which prioritizes engaged scholarship and practice while demonstrating the relevance of the poetic in response to the urgencies of planetary crisis"-- Amazon
