Beyond “The Drama of Consciousness” and Against the “Drama of the Manifesto”

The purpose of this essay is to discuss how the concept of créolité can be currently tied to the socio-cultural realities of Martinique (as well as of Guadeloupe and Guiana), and to the developments of their political landscape. To what extent can theory and poetics really affect the everyday culture and politics in Antillean and Caribbean communities? This rapport was briefly dealt with in the creolist manifesto’s appendix as at once a philosophical, poetic, and utilitarian matter. What role does the genre of the manifesto play in the possibility of effecting sociopolitical change
