Abstract
This study offers a sociocritical analysis of female figures in the contemporary Moroccan novel, confronted with the pressures of patriarchy and radicalization. Drawing on the theories of Duchet, Zima, and Goldmann, alongside gender studies, the article examines how narrative devices—such as silence, fragmentation, and temporality—stage power dynamics. The analysis reveals a duality: ranging from the exposure of rigid structures of domination to the reclamation of the self through art and writing. Ultimately, the novel asserts itself as a space of symbolic resistance, capable of questioning social norms and outlining horizons for transformation.
