This article examines three significant “offerings” Glissant has made to our contemporary world: creolisation, “Whole-World” (“Tout-Monde”) and the inextricable. These offerings constitute a major gesture towards the “dispossessed”, a gesture consisting in the expression, with and through a French language wrung by neologisms, of the unthought aspects of slavery and of its anthropological, social, philosophical, political and ethical consequences. Through “creolisation”, Glissant offers an act of naming that was needed in order to identify what was at stake in the process of slavery and coloniality, and leaves the processes of identity transformation that took place unnamed. The concept of “Tout-Monde”, which derives from creolisation and Relation, also enables the expression of a given state of the world, one that is aware of its inscription in the Relation and that distances itself from systematic thought, the better to embrace a trembling thought. Finally, Glissant offers the expression “inextricable” as a way of accepting that which in the world escapes deciphering, a means of putting one’s mind around the muddle of an unendable history and of the Relation which have led to today’s humanities.
