This article explores the conceptual importance of Homi K. Bhabha`s "Third Space" from a perspective of postcolonial feminism, focusing on the enunciation from/on cultural translation in an international and in-between space. In this globalizing era when many people are moving fastly, Bhabha emphasizes the importance of institutionalizing enunciation in the Third Space, dissolving a contingent tension within modernity between the pedagogy of the symbols of progress in terms of sophisticated theory and the "sign of the present" represented by identity politics based on the archives of the "new". In the Third Space, Bhabha argues, we can see the new hybrid identity, passing through the conspicuous stage of the dangerous tryst with the "untranslatable". It is the precondition for producing a situated knowledge by enunciating the "untranslatable" on the "Third Space". Since we cannot imagine the identity without thinking of gender, it is necessary to define the concept of gender as the shifting signifier on the Third Space. This process inevitably includes the establishment of the new knowledge system on gender by enunciating the cultural difference and cultural globality. For this purpose, the issue of the "I"-statesments in academic writing is useful because it has opened the way to a subtle but important distinction -between "the personal" and "the autobiographical", and further "the positional" - as well as to the more political issue of why "I"-statements are appealing and powerful to produce the situated knowledge, especially for the non-Western, non-European feminist intellectuals. In-short, what "we", teaching feminist studies in English literature in Korean university classroom, have to do is to enunciate our experience self-reflexively through "I"-statements in academic writing in order to produce the new knowledge system on gender based on time-spatiality of "Here and Now."
