Abstract
MAESSCHALCK, Marc. Archipelagic Thought and Decoloniality. Thinking with Édouard Glissant. Estud.filos [online]. 2023, n.68, pp.63-86. Epub Aug 03, 2023. ISSN 0121-3628. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.ef.351748.
This article relates four concepts present in the thought of Édouard Glissant (poetics, optionality, exteriority, and unlearning) to show that they are also present in different authors of decolonial theory. These concepts lead us out of the framework of modern hypercriticism and allow us to enter into a philosophy of relation that opens up new possibilities for intercultural encounters. Through the constant recourse to the contrast between Glissant and the decolonial school, the text goes through its classic themes, such as the coloniality of power, knowledge and being, and decolonial pedagogy and feminism.
Keywords : Édouard Glissant; decoloniality; archipelagic thought; poetics; optionality; exteriority; unlearning.
