Entering the dialectic of totality is driven by errantry, not by the Voyage

Evidence

One could get away with: “I can acknowledge your difference and continue to think it is harmful to you. I can think that my strength lies in the Voyage (I am making History) and that your difference is motionless and silent.” Another step remains to be taken before one really enters the dialectic of totality. And, contrary to the mechanics of the Voyage, this dialectic turns out to be driven by the thought of errantry. — Édouard Glissant, Poetics of Relation, 142

Categorization

• DEFINE: Contrasts errantry (the surpassing dialectic) with the Voyage (conquest-driven History-making) — a core Glissant distinction conditioning how detour/opacity operate.
• XREF: connects to: Errantry, unlike exile, reinforces rather than erodes identity — Édouard Glissant, Poetics of Relation, 158; Errantry can only be told indirectly through detour
