Cultural criticism, as a cognitive strategy emerging from post-discursive paradigms, seeks to revalidate and centralize the marginal by exploring issues overlooked by traditional literary criticism. The latter confined itself within aesthetic preoccupations, leading to epistemic blind spots and cultural myopia due to its excessive focus on beauty while neglecting the underlying systemic flaws hidden beneath aesthetic form. Consequently, cultural criticism turned toward activating systemic strategies aimed at uncovering the implicit and the unspoken, by shifting away from textual analysis toward the critique of systems both visible and hidden. It regards the text as a comprehensive cultural discourse or cultural event shaped by various interacting forces. Its decoding requires the convergence of multiple interdisciplinary mechanisms cultural, political, social, and ethical to expose the systemic flaws within both the text and culture at large, thereby deconstructing their mental and cultural structures. Building on these premises, this study seeks to examine the strategies employed by cultural criticism to reveal underlying systems and to evaluate their role within contemporary critical discourse.
