Existing in deep relation with the work of poet, philosopher, and theorist
Édouard Glissant, this paper, taking as its grounding the Caribbean
archipelago, explores ways of thinking/being/imagining/inhabiting the world as
constituted in and through relations of multiplicity. The pages that follow
take up this task through a series of philosophies co- constituted in dialogue
with Glissant. Reading Glissant generatively (albeit, at times errantly)
through the optic of ‘translations’, this paper takes up the ‘big’ questions
confronting political philosophy, such as, ‘thinking’, ‘being’, ‘freedom’,
‘difference’, ‘space’, and ‘time’. Suggesting that these questions can be
usefully approached from the tortured landscape of the Caribbean, this paper
makes the case for orienting critical inquiry and political action around
modalities of relationality, multiplicity, and non-systematicity. In doing so,
this paper puts forward a poetic mode of critique, which, while thinking
through the world- breaking historical violence instituted by coloniality,
slavery, and other dispossessions, is immanently able to overcome them through
an affirmative, de-territorialised, and inventive ethico-political stance.
