Résumé
-
If Édouard Glissant devised the concept of Tout-Monde ( Whole-World ), he also cultivated a Tout-Art ( Whole-Art ). Glissant's aesthetic practice and philosophy consists in highlighting connections between artistic production in geographically discrete parts of the world; in encouraging mixed media creations and performances; in establishing friendships between the critic and the artist; and in relinquishing human production to the agency of plants or water. Loichot argues that this form of art shaped by Glissant's philosophy of Relation aids to memorialize and render sacred unspeakable treatments of human beings in the slave trade or in the disaster of hurricane Katrina. The ceramicists, painters, musicians, sculptors, novelists, and film-makers Victor Anicet, Federica Bertelli, Bës, Fabienne Kanor, Federica Matta, Roberto Matta, Wifredo Lam, Piersy Roos, Sylvie Séma, Jason de Caires Taylor, and Laurent Valère cited in this essay take part in this venture of solidarity.
