AB In an attempt to achieve more encompassing analyses of certain literary and cultural phenomena, postcolonial criticism has allied with the methods of feminist studies. A combined framework such as thisprovides an interesting perspective for the study of Jean Rhys’s most reputed novel Wide Sargasso Sea(1966), a text whose subversive power springs from an anxiety to resist and change the dominantdiscourse of patriarchy and imperialism. Starting from this assumption, this dissertation seeks to identify ina first level, the counter-discursive elements present in Rhys’s novel paying especial attention to theprocess, implication and purpose of the construction in the narrative of such ideas as identity and theOther. Without forgetting to locate the textual forces of power, among which language reveals itselfindispensable, an examination of the contextual conditions is intended to clarify the extent to which theydetermine the nature of the former concepts. Departing from such premises, this essay will also examineRhys’s novel within the aesthetics of the so-called Postmodern literature
