摘要：This essay examines the cultural marginalization in Fadia Faqir's novel Pillars of Salt. The study demonstrates how culturally excluded people are compelled to submit to the authority of social structures and organizations. All of these social structures and institutions contribute to the repression, suppression, and marginalization of society's weak and disadvantaged members. Individuals who are disadvantaged and oppressed must thus suffer the weight of this web of social structures and institutions. The tale is explored using Julia Kristeva's psychoanalytic viewpoint. In the process of signification, according to Kristeva, persons are shaped by placing them in a frame or mold of traditions and practices. Individuals are mentally repressed and subjectified by the devices employed to integrate all established standards and mores into their mind. Using various social structures and organizations as tools and weapons, violence is performed against vulnerable and oppressed persons, and this violence is sanctioned and internalized inside the psyches of the members of a society. One may say that all societal structures and institutions serve as a tool in the formation of an individual's unconscious.
