We will question the Creole language as well as the Creole smugglers - Frantz Fanon, Aimé Césaire, Édouard Glissant, Léopold Senghor, Achille Mbembe, Patrick Chamoiseau, Edouard Saïd - to know to what extent literature can help human subjectivities to release their creative power. This analysis will allow us to question the role of the voice / path of the writer and his strength of resistance. We will try to analyze the different meeting points of language with ethics and politics to express the violence produced by slavery and colonization. Édouard Glissant evokes in Le discours antillais (1997) the need to return to the creole language, or more exactly, to a creolized French voice. Hence the elaboration of a Poetic of the Relationship, which is also an ethics of proximity, articulated around the concept of the "All-World" expressing the tensions of multilingualism and the infinite passage between identity and difference.
