Discussions about the possibilities of cosmopolitanism on the one hand and the inevitable effects of globalization on the other have more often than not bypassed the inner history of postcolonialism, which must be mapped upon the concepts of nation, race, and gender. Frantz Fanon has alerted us in the 50s to the importance of the (dis-)affections in intercultural exchanges. He has investigated local affective typologies as they are explored in the inter-discursive field of literature, focussing first and foremost on the black Atlantic.
