It covers a wide range of topics but key recurring themes are creolization, language and \u003ci\u003elangage\u003c\/i\u003e, culture and identity, 'monolingualism', the 'Chaos-world' and the role of the writer. Migration and the various different kinds of migrants are also discussed, as is the difference between 'atavistic' and 'composite' communities, the art of translation, identity as a 'rhizome' rather than a single root, the Chaos-World and chaos theory, 'trace thought' as opposed to 'systematic thought', the relation between 'place' and the Whole-World, exoticism, utopias, a new definition of beauty as the realized quantity of differences, the status of literary genres and the possibility that literature as a whole will disappear. Four of the interviews (Chapters 6, 7, 8 and 9) relate to particular works that Glissant has published: \u003ci\u003eTout-monde\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLe monde incrée\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLa Cohée du Lamentin\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eUne nouvelle région du monde\u003c\/i\u003e. Many of these themes have been explored in his previous works, but here, because in all the chapters we see Glissant interacting with the questions and views of other people, they are presented in a particularly accessible form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCelia Britton is Emeritus Professor at University College London.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 152\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 02, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43631900819545,"sku":"9781789621297","price":87.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/6465\/9545\/files\/TsCYRrSQ8u9781789621297.webp?v=1784069753","url":"https:\/\/warrenssanctuaryofthemind.myshopify.com\/fr\/products\/introduction-to-a-poetics-of-diversity-paperback","provider":"Warren's sanctuary of the mind","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
