| Sumario: | The proposal here is to examine how people and countries canconverge in the world history. This paper considers the specificity of this convergence in the context of Edouard Glissant’s writings. The thought of Édouard Glissant has an important resonance with the concept of the Relation which gets central when theidentity is perceived in a universal perspective which takes into account the opacity of the Other. Based largely on Le Discours antillais but not limited to this text, we will analyse the opacity that Glissant has always claimed as a way to oppose the artificial transparency of the world and as a necessary condition of a thought of the Relation. Glissant proposes to read the world with an other apprehension of the otherness. The objective of this study is to show that Glissant’problematic is not any more only a thought about the Caribbean but also the thought of all those about whom we do not speak, or about whom we do not want to speak. So, according to a critical thought, the Relation will help to brings a cultural, ethical and critical diversity into the contemporary dynamics of populations, history and memory. |
