Serving as a response to Aimé Césaire’s call for a universal filled with particularity from his infamous resignation from the French C ommunist Party in 1956\, I focus on the role of culture for a project of u niversal emancipation. To do so\, I follow Sylvia Wynter’s statement that the Négritude movement is an example of a universal and cultural project. Recalling Césaire’s words in “Return to My Native Land\,” culture that ser ves universal emancipation must be “free of the desire to tame but familia r with the play of the world.” To this end\, I develop a conception of cul ture that is both local and universal\, that centers on the importance of what it means to be human\, as life\, as being\, and as experience by read ing culture as necessarily local\, collective\, disenchanted\, and related to play.
