Literature has been mystified by the Western modern discourses which disregard the socio-historical conditions and signifying processes of literary texts. Providing obvious subjects, the realist texts incorporate their readers into the existing social order. But in the anti-humainst theories, the human subject is not given but constructed through the linguistic, discurisve, and ideological processes and practices. This thesis aims to find the resistant self which makes a strong struggle to the modern “transcendental subject” in literary texts. The resistant self leads to the demystification of literature in which we realize that the modern subject is constructed through the processes and practices of a culture. In Chapter II, we will discuss how the modern subject is constituted and accepted by the people will be discussed. Then, analyzing the metafiction, we will examine “the disappearance of the subject.” In Chapter III, analyzing the “autobiographical writing,” we will try to find the resistant self. In Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper,” an autobiographical text, the narrator refuses to accept the subject provided by the modern European white male discourse by secretly performing her own writing. Writing about not the social subject but her own self is the way the narrator constitutes her identity, so we can find the resistant self in the process of the narrator’s writing.
