7 A more sophisticated possibility is the formation of a third space. See Rakesh Mohan Bhatt, “In Other Words: Language Mixing, Identity Representations, and Third Space,” Journal of Sociolinguistics 12, no. 2 (2008): 177-200, https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-9841.2008.00363.x. Bhatt’s essay analyzes Hindi in English newspapers in India and sees the construct of a discursive third space (Bhabha, The Location of Culture (London: Routledge, 1994)) where two systems of identity representation converge, on the one hand, in response to global-local tensions and, on the other hand, dialogically constituted identities formed through resistance and appropriation.

15 Kim goes further by drawing from Jung Young Lee, Marginality: The Key to Multicultural Theology (Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 1995), stating that the core of this identification is realizing that “the new marginality Jesus Christ created through his death and resurrection becomes the creative core for marginalized people.” However, this discussion goes beyond the bounds of this essay.
