Exploring the concept of "third space," Homi Bhabha's work challenges binary thought structures that define cultural interactions. This essay examines how Özpetek's film "Hamam, il bagno" embodies this idea, presenting a setting where identities can be fluidly renegotiated beyond traditional dichotomies. By analyzing the film, the author highlights how it creates a space that transcends the constraints of cultural hierarchies, offering a nuanced perspective on identity and belonging.
