II. Who was Adolph Hitler?


Hitler as liminal…

(Homi Bhaba)  
“The theoretical recognition of the split-space of enunciation may open the way to conceptualising an international culture, based not on the exoticism of multiculturalism or the diversity of cultures, but on the inscription and articulation of culture's hybridity. It is the in-between space that carries the burden of the meaning of culture, and by exploring this Third Space, we may elude the politics of polarity and emerge as the others of ourselves.”        The Location of Culture   (1991)

was clearly evil?
