Common sense often tends to identify Creolization with hybridization, as if tearing down boundaries and mixing up the heterogeneous were the defining features of Creolity. Drawing from recent theories of reading, this article attempts to locate the power of the Creole in the work of selection performed by boundaries conceived as membranes. A politics of filters and thrusts is thus sketched, along a series going from lectio to election, selection and intellection.
