Workshop with Homi K. Bhabha

Subject: Third Space Turns 30: Revisit. Reflect. React?

Homi Bhabha's The Location of Culture, published in 1994, is undoubtedly one of the works that sparked a paradigm shift in the humanities. To this day, the book remains relevant, especially regarding the distinction between cultural diversity and cultural difference. At the same time, The Location of Culture, as a collection of eleven key essays, also contains shifts or differences from current debates, particularly with regard to the central concept of "hybridity." How does the author view these changes and shifts thirty years later? What remains unchanged, and which narratives have been further developed? What are the consequences? To address these questions, representatives from various disciplines, research groups, and clusters at the University of Bonn will have the opportunity to engage in discussion groups with Homi K. Bhabha about the old and new impulses of this seminal work.
