Abstract
In 2009, equipped with a camera, Manthia Diawara followed Édouard Glissant on the Queen Mary II in a transatlantic journey from South Hampton, United Kingdom, to Brooklyn, New York. This extraordinary voyage, six days and five nights, resulted in an intellectual biography in which Glissant elaborates on his theory of Relation and the concept of “Tout-monde.” This conversation is from that film: Édouard Glissant: One World in Relation (2009).
