Édouard Glissant’s work includes a non-theoretical reflection upon the pratice of translation, one that is deeply grounded in his thinking about diversity and relation. His last published text was an anthology entitled La Terre, le Feu, l’Eau et les Vents. Une anthologie de la poésie du Toutmonde (Galaade, 2010), and was the only work where Glissant actually acted as a translator. There, he connected the gesture of translation to ecology, bringing all the world’s languages to echo in French. Translation resists monolingualism, it preserves the ecosystem of languages and aims to « strengthen the imaginary of languages in each and everyone », as well as the landscapes in which languages live.
