Glissant and Guattari: Conjectures about an unwritten book

Abstract

Starting from a photograph that brings together Guattari and Glissant, and from the testimonies about a book they planned to write together, we propose to think about a possible pact of poetic complicity that is woven between the wake of their two works. To do this, we compare some categories nucleated preferably around the figure of the rhizome; and we highlight the idea of black abyss to account for a certain asymmetry relative to the respective conditions of enunciation. Our purpose is to outline, in the meeting of these writings, that unwritten book that would nourish the hypotheses about a theoretical and methodological reciprocity between the respective proposals.
