Else LaskerSchüler (1869-1945), among the significant expressionist woman writers, did not only suffer from being both a woman and author, but also had to struggle under difficulties of being a hebrew. In this paper, especially the letter novel titled "Der Malik : Eine Kaisergeschichte" has been handled in the light of Homi K. Bhabha's 'Third Space Theory'. In regard to this, the "Third Space", which is defined by postcolonial theoretician Homi K. Bhabha as an extra place where minorities and outcast groups can express themselves in his work "The Location of Culture", is adapted to the literary "Orient" and defined once again in Else Lasker-Schüler's novel as it was never approached and interpreted before. In this sense, this supports the relevance to analyze her mentioned works in terms of the "Third Space Theory". Else Lasker-Schüler constructed a new world for herself through literature; her works were her life and her life was her works.
Die 1920 publizierte Schrift 'Jenseits des Lustprinzips', die Sigmund Freud selbst als metapsychologische Darstellung charakterisiert hat, entwickelt ein Lebenskonzept, das über die damals wie heute bestehenden Gegensätze zwischen den Begriffen der Natur- und Geisteswissenschaften hinausweist. Wenn ich diese Schrift im Folgenden als Baustein eines nach wie vor brisanten Lebenswissens jenseits der 'zwei Kulturen' lese, dann wird dabei von manchen Umwegen zu sprechen sein, von Umwegen des 'Lebens' wie von Umwegen der Methode im buchstäblichen Sinne.
