La integración como epistemología: Esbozos de la teoría y poética de édouard glissant

This article presents an integrationist reading, a methodology articulated by the philosopher and poet Édouard Glissant with which we will analyze a poem by the same author, “1953”, belonging to his book Sol de la conciencia (2004). This metacritical gesture will specify in detail, study in depth and bring alive the concepts that activate a philosophy of emancipatory cultural integration. This is an epistemology that demands an understanding of “The Whole World” which begins with the overcoming of apartheid located in the space of knowledge. It is a way of thinking from which we can lay stake to a “poetic epistemology” by amplifying Glissant’s theory.
