The immigrant in the experience of immigration, through confusion and dissociation from its culture and lack of belonging to the host country, seeks to achieve its true identity, various ups and downs. Considering the slippery identity and theoretical patterns of immigration in the votes of Homi Bahabha, The present study, with a comparative approach and relying on descriptive-analytical method, examines the themes related to immigrant identity in the works of "Doordasthaye Mobham" and "love in exile", in stages such as facing the "other", acceptance and refusal, widespread awareness, self-return and finally, dissociation and destiny. In these works, Eastern personalities, in conflict with Western culture and in accordance with internal developments, intertwined with painful global trends and maintaining an ideological position, gain recognition and understanding of a network of global relations and provide a platform based on historical, political and human reality to awaken the forgotten realm of the hero's psyche within the merged boundaries of "self" and to make sense of it. The results of this study show that migration with a break from the insider culture, confrontation with the host land space and understanding the place and time in the process of interaction and confrontation with the discourse space of "the other" as a productive narrative space -"third space"- in the works, It explains the differences in the world; A process that, due to psychological and sociological factors, otherness and profound analysis of alien concepts and alienation gives new importance to the concept of identity.

Various adaptations are found in the history of Iranian cinema. The connection between Asghar Farhadi’s The Salesman (2016) and Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman (1949) was reviewed disparagingly and appraisingly in Iran and the West. Finding the cause of the tension between these contradictory discourses is the main purpose of this paper. With a post-colonial approach, especially with regard to Homi Bhabha’s (1949- ) views, we scrutinize The Salesman to clarify the relationship between the West and the East in Iranian cinema. It is revealed that Farhadi’s adaptation is a mimicry of Miller’s Death of a Salesman; with a close comparative analysis of the text of the play and Farhadi’s film, it is concluded that The Salesman is not merely a Bhabhaian mimicry of an American play but a third space that floats between the concepts of indigenization and mimicry. The interweavement of Western and Iranian cultural and social elements in this film creates a work that is tangible for both the Iranian and the Western audience.

September 11 attacks provided the American neo-Imperialism with the opportunity to disseminate the discourse of Islamophobia under the aegis of war against terrorism. The event influenced the world of literature, and many writers were prompted to find a response to the “Othering” of Muslims and Middle-Easterners in western narratives. One of these authors is the Pakistani Mohsen Hamid who, in The Reluctant Fundamentalist, brings us face to face with the economic aspects of cultural and international injustice, and brings to light the deficiencies of the globalization discourse. This article studies the constitution of Changiz’s subjectivity as an alien and “other” in the wake of the September 11 attacks. The Reluctant Fundamentalist is a novel which impels the reader to think deeply about the lies hidden behind the universal and totalitarian categories such as “west/east” and “we/they.” Mohsen Hamid shows that the cultural map of the world needs a new design because national cultures are founded on the limitation of the alien, although they have their roots in people’s actions and behaviors, and do not possess an ontological and intrinsic value. This article explores the interconnectedness of identity and third space by studying Changiz’s character.

The present Article is a study of the effect of the indigenous cultural factors of the Igbo of Nigeria on the identity of the Nigerian Igbo women in the post-independence Nigeria as represented in Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus. Post-colonial feminists like Spivak and Holloway believe that without the recognition of the specific cultural elements surrounding the Third World women it is impossible to represent the material condition of the life of the subaltern women by methodologies of Western feminism. Through ages of suppression under patriarchy and colonialism, the ‘epistemic violence’ has suppressed the voice of the subaltern woman, and Holloway believes that the texts written by the African female authors apply particular strategies that are rooted in their indigenous cultural features to create polyphonic texts that represent the spectrum of identity and the post-colonial culture of the African woman. One of these strategies is named (re)membrance by Holloway through which myth, memory, and historical events are inscribed in the narrative to create a discourse which challenges both discourses of patriarchy and colonialism. The present article studies the significance of (re)membrance in Purple Hibiscus to represent the effect of the indigenous Igbo culture in the transition of a teen-aged girl to adulthood. Adichie shows that the identity of the African woman is a spectrum of various cultural elements of pre-colonial, colonial, and post-independence periods.

This research is the analysis of the contact zone and the tensions in western women’s travelogues. Travel writing as a genre has always been marginalized within the domain of literary researches, but travelogues by women have been doubly marginalized due to gender. In patriarchal societies, the literature produced by women has never been received as seriously as that by men. Western women, who were colonizers by race and colonized by gender, cannot use the omniscient point of view revealed in men’s travelogues, nor can they assume the objective pose that man travel writers usually boast of. Women, who had an unsure position between the discourses of colonialism and that of femininity, reveal such tensions in their writing that are mostly absent from men’s travelogues. These tensions and the role they play in the self-fashioning of British women can be traced in the images that they offer of the orient in the 19th century.
