For the book Mondialité: or the archipelagos of Edouard Glissant, artists and thinkers contribute texts, excerpts and images that explore key concepts by Édouard Glissant such as pensée du tremblement, créolisation, and opacité. Mondialité focuses on Edouard Glissant and his inspiring call for a global dialogue that does not erase local cultures. In our current moment, there is much to remind one of the international debates swirling around cosmopolitanism at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, homogenizing forces are leading to extinctions, both through environmental degradation and the disappearance of cultural phenomena, yet at the same time, to refuse the forces of globalization risks returning to dangerous forms of neo-localism and neo-nationalism.
