“…To “the Human,” Glissant opposes the “exultant divergence of humanities” (, 190). As was suggested by Sylvia Wynter, Glissant rises against the “Word of Man” and the related “role imposed on the black population groups of the New World as the embodied bearers of Ontological Lack to the secular model of being, Man” (Wynter , 641). Along with Césaire, Fanon, and others, Glissant practices what Wynter refers to as a “gaze from below”: To universally encoded discursive formations, it opposes a poetic force radiant with potentialities—the “demonic grounds” of a liminally deviant perspective (McKittrick :50)…”

“…Relationality is not so much antilogical or of an anti-Logos as it is antelogical or of an ante-Logos or what he theorizes as a "counter word" or "counter Logos [Gegenlogos]" (Bonhoeffer 2009: 302, 305). Such a counterword is a word beyond "the Word of Man" (see Wynter 1989) but as a disturbance from within that word. Such a word is an insurgent word of resistance with respect to any logocentricism or regime of a Logos.…”

“…As such he is dramatizing Moctezuma's entry into the consciousness of "race" that is being born in this moment. Through Cortés's dialogue with Moctezuma and his explication of Christian doctrine, particularly Christological doctrine or the doctrine of the identity of Jesus Christ, Wright represents how the power and the word of God were sutured, as Sylvia Wynter (1989) explains, to the word or the Logos of man. In this, Wright attempts to portray white racial consciousness as a form of divinization and as constitutive of the mood of modernity.…”

“…The shortcomings of juridical independence will also be shown below. All of this will be further illustrated by drawing from Sylvia Wynter (1984;1989) and Denise Ferreira da Silva's (2001; pioneering work on the logic of modernity. The choice to use their works is a deliberate one, given they are black women scholars whose work, particularly that of Wynter, on the coloniality of power, being and knowledge tends to be overlooked despite having laid the groundwork for the decoloniality perspective.…”
