  • Summary

  • A conversation about Édouard Glissant's work on creolization, with particular emphasis on how that conceptualization of relation emphasizes both the right to opacity and the necessity of cultural contact. What happens to concepts, to art, to expressive life when it is put in contact with differences? How do vulnerable communities and traditions protect themselves in moments of asymmetrical contact? And so what are the ethics of these kinds of encounter?
