| Abstract [eng] |
This article explores how the concept of the Third Space might be applied to discuss the motif of the American road trip in Salman Rushdie’s novel Quichotte (2019). The term Third Space is used by multiple authors within the theory of post-colonialism with reference to the concept of liminal space; the works of post-colonial theorists Edward Soja and Homi Bhabha are taken as a theoretical basis of this work. In Salman Rushdie’s novel Quichotte, two protagonists of the story Quichotte and Sancho embark on a road trip across America in search of the Beloved. The internal struggles of the characters, their encounters of hostile communities along the way and searching for ways to adjust to the world are discusssed through a lens of spatio-temporal transformations they undergo while travelling. |
