Entre l’utopie et la révolte contre le néocolonialisme aux Antilles françaises: “Manifeste pour un projet global” (2000) et “Manifeste pour les ‘produits’ de haute nécessité” (2009)
Abstract
The purpose of this paper will be to analyze the assumptions of two main texts in the collection Manifestes published in 2021 by Édouard Glissant and Patrick Chamoiseau, namely “Manifeste pour un projet global” (2000) and “Manifeste pour les ‘produits’ de haute nécessité” (2009) which, in a gesture of anti-colonial revolt, claim a consciously utopian vision of the future of the French West Indies. In the context of other programmatic writings published by Glissant, as well as by Chamoiseau, we will attempt to examine the ideological roots of the conceptions formulated in the manifestos, to place the project articulated in them in a broad context of the anti-colonial debates of the second half of the twentieth century, as well as to identify the portrait of the writer-intellectual as it is drawn up in these texts.
