Of transculturations and inventions: Édouard Glissant and the Caribbean in Relation

Main Article Content
Abstract
The study investigates three philosophical-critical folds of the concept of Relation proposed by the Martinican writer Édouard Glissant. The first moment links a counterpoint between the debates on transculturation in Latin America and the Caribbean with the narrative about Caribbean space-time narrated by Glissant. In a second moment, the philosophical frequency of the Relation is measured in discussion with Glissant's presences and absences within postcolonial criticism. The third section studies the impact of the concept of identity-rhizome within contemporary debates in Caribbean criticism. The work proposes a reflection that is based on the various works of the Martinican, understanding that the Relation hints at the possibility of studying the different rhythms, temporalities and experiences that break the identity architectures of coloniality. Finally, it is concluded that Glissant offers an image of the archipelago as an opening towards the multilingual and unpredictable nature of the Relation.
