This study seeks to discuss the dialectic relation between power and cultural resitance, highlighting that the relation between literature and literary criticism novels cannot be reduced to the study of components that transform texts into literary works or the multiple infinite meanings embedded.  In addition to a focus on the specificity of the text as an aesthetic linguistic discourse, this needs an awareness of the wider cultural framework in which it is taking place in order to clarify the text and reveal the inherent modalities within it. The tools and the concept of literary discourse in this study seek to demonstrate the added value of cultural studies through new assumptions that see literature and novels a cultural practice. This practice needs knowledge building to be able to address the unknown that vanishes behind the direct semantic context.
