Summary/Abstract: The paper examines the implicit in the feminist literary imagination through novel Je vois du soleil dans tes yeux by Nathalie Etoke. Based on the combination of Pierre Barb ris' intertextual analysis and socio-criticism, the study shows, in three parts, how an aesthetics of socio-political subversion unfolds, aiming to overthrow an obsolete political order in a fictitious African republic, Koumkana, by means of intertextual strategies and other techniques of camouflage. It is therefore not simply a matter of seeing such a scriptural dynamic as the mere presence of a text within a text. This explains why the study concludes that Etoke's novel offers itself as a mode of production and existence that is comprehensible in that it transforms the meaning of texts that precede it in order to convey the writer's worldview: living well together for the good of all.
