The article attempts to locate the seminal concept of “in-betweenness” formulated by Silviano Santiago in the early 1970s in the awakening of the post-colonial debate. For this purpose, it approaches contemporary ideas of two cultural critics with colonial origins – Edward Said and Homi K. Bhabha – which have achieved broad recognition in the hegemonic academic circuit. Santiago and Said both took part in the immediate reception of structuralist and ‘post-structuralist’ ideas in the United States. Following close paths but with different theoretical achievements, they problematized the European patterns of thought by calling into question the idea of origin. Later in the 1980s Bhabha will criticize what he considers to be the binarism of Said’s perspective in terms similar to that already posed by Santiago.
