This thesis aims to analyze the impacts of othering on human-ghoul hybrids in Tokyo Ghoul and the coping mechanisms they develop to deal with the impacts. The topic and text were chosen as the paper’s subject because the text’s plot explicitly shows and is directly driven by the impacts of othering on the hybrids. The applied theories or concepts are taken from Said’s “othering”, Bhabha’s mimicry, hybridity & ambivalence, and Glissant’s rhizomatic identity. There are two main impacts of othering: alienation and aggression. Alienation forces hybrids into a normless state, in which they are powerless. The hybrids become more aggressive to resist the threat that the humans and ghouls pose to their social worth. The main coping mechanism developed by the hybrids is to build identities that mimic the pure parties they have interacted with. In conclusion, the hybrids experience othering and are discriminated against, as such, they are alienated and are forced to become aggressive to resist said othering. The aforementioned factors impact the hybrids negatively. Thus, they cope with the negative effects of their ambivalent state by mimicking the norms of the “self” to develop rhizomatic identities in relation to their discriminators.
