The Third Space is a postcolonial sociolinguistic theory of identity and community realized through language. It is attributed to Homi K. Bhabha. Third Space Theory explains the uniqueness of each person, actor or context as a "hybrid".[1] See Edward W. Soja for a conceptualization of the term within the social sciences and from a critical urban theory perspective.
