Atmospheric observations on light
Atmospheric observations on light, or how to place Canarian literature at the centre. An essay that dismantles inventorial Canarianness —Glissant, relation-identity, créolisation— and proposes an atmospheric definition: being-from-the-Canaries derives from the Light, that air leaping from the cleanest ocean to the Sahara’s haze and rendering the world two opposite ways. What is Canarian literature? All that is written bathed in that Light.
