Abstract

Throughout a textual analysis of Maissa Bey's last novel, Nulle Autre Voix,"No Other Voice",(2018), it will be argued that the notion of “Feminine Desire” is basically related to the constitution of a feminine subject in relation to kinship and social norms. Central to this analysis of the novel is the representation of a link between the feminine subject and the social norms within a particular a specific Algerian historical and cultural environment, which produced them.
