Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Duisburg-Essen (British and Anglophone Literature and Culture), course: Survey of British Literature, language: English, abstract: In the following, this seminar paper will focus on transculturality by mainly referring to Homi K. Bhabha’s concept of hybridity and what he calls the third space (Bentley 20008: 20) which Bhabha developed in contrast to multiculturalism (cf. Sommer 2001: 50). Furthermore, Stuart Hall’s concept of new ethnicities (Bentley 2008: 20), which deals with the historical development of racial politics (ibid.: 21), will be outlined. In the following character analysis, with regard to Bhabha’s third space, this seminar paper will examine whether Samad Iqbal and Irie Jones are able to create such a third space or not.
