Un imaginaire pour une mondialité à faire - Fragments de deux rencontres avec Patrick Chamoiseau et Édouard Glissant

This film was realised from interviews by the editorial staff of the journal "Les périphériques vous parlent" with two writers from Martinique, Patrick Chamoiseau and Edouard Glissant. The writers talk about the capacity of men and peoples to change their imagination in order to re-establish their relation to the world. They explore the notions of creolization, which Edouard Glissant defines as "cultural mixing that produces the unpredictable", of globality in opposition to economic globalisation, and of relation-identity as opposed to the affirmation of root-identity which generates innumerable conflicts all over the world. The film proposes perspectives for the future where the poetic is reunited with the political, offering an escape from a world frozen in the past with its withdrawal into identities, the rejection of the other and out-dated cultural thinking.
