Errantry toward the Other can recover rather than reject the self

Evidence

Errantry, therefore, does not proceed from renunciation nor from frustration regarding a supposedly deteriorated (deterritorialized) situation of origin; it is not a resolute act of rejection or an uncontrolled impulse of abandonment. Sometimes, by taking up the pl’oblems of the Other, it is possible to find oneself. — Édouard Glissant, Poetics of Relation, 151

Categorization

• DEFINE: Shows errantry is defined negatively against renunciation, rejection, and abandonment — an ironic/generative stance rather than an escape.
• XREF: Contrasts with Fanon’s actual pathway (Martinique to Algeria) — the empirical exemplar the reader wants of loosening origin-identity without collapsing it. — connects to: Errantry is a directed relational wandering that never loses its bearings — Édouard Glissant, Poetics of Relation, 45; Errantry, unlike exile, reinforces rather than erodes identity — Édouard Glissant, Poetics of Relation, 158; Possession defends the self against the Other’s power to define it (+6 more)
