Abstract

The paper "Considering Aboriginality: hauntological and feminist perspective on the "Third Space" in Jane Harrison's plays Stolen and Rainbow's End” examines the postcolonial social and cultural aspects related to the Australian Aboriginal people, using the concept of the "Third Space", developed by Homi K. Bhabha, reinterpreted and extended in selected aspects by hauntology theory (N. Abraham and M. Torok's phantom and J. Derrida's spectre) and feminist literary criticism. The analysis of selected aspects highlighted in the plays, such as distorted identity, no sense of belonging, specific settings and locations, characters' transformation and their relationships through the "Third Space" concept, with references to hauntology and feminism, may offer new interpretations and solutions to the issues connected with Aboriginality.
