Abstract
This research intends to examine those cultural paradigms that have been briefly summarized by some the contemporary Tunisian, Moroccan, and Algerian feminist narrative works based on a descriptive-analytical method and through a cultural approach in which the categories of cultural criticism and systemic procedures are used while help in text exploring and researching the unspoken help to penetrate possible spaces and search for the dominant paradigm. Therefore, the present study has selected examples of the novelists (Tunisian, Moroccan, and Algerian) with the titles (Ghurbat al-Yasmeen, the A ‘am Al-Fil, and Sa’zef Nafsi Amamek), in which their works included cultural paradigm and seek to create a narrative text-based approach with aesthetic and intellectual features, but it includes semantic and cultural rebellion that is quite different from the physical features of the text and it turn the text to the scene of contradictory cultural and intellectual paradigms. Among the most important paradigms which have been examined in the three selected narrations, we can mention manhood, the approach of humiliating women and the approach of a religious institution. The feminist narrative of the Maghreb is a covenant that protects the existence of Maghreb women, and is a platform that express their voice in the form of democracy, and to remove the darkness that they have suffered for so long.

Abstract
The female biography plays a significant role in expressing the ideology of the female writer and shows the importance of women writers in relation to the important issues of the society. In other words; the writing of female autobiography is different from other types of literature because it directly emphasizes the essence of women in the face of the patriarchal society and is the best way to depict the concerns of women, especially Arab women. The current research is trying to examine the biography of the Egyptian writer Razavi "Al-Sarkha" based on the descriptive-analytical approach and relying on cultural criticism. "Sarkha" is the second part of the book "Asqal Man Razavi" in which he combines the experience of his personal life and the political events of the country. In other words, he portrays his severe illness, which is associated with the unsettled conditions of Egypt in 2010-2013. The most important results of the research are: Razavi Ashour is an intellectual writer who in his biography talks about women who had a deep influence on the formation of his personal experience. Also, culture and society play a significant role in the formation of Arab women's identity. Razavi's main concern in the issue of women is the issue of women's education, and he wants to make reforms in the field of freedom of expression in the Arab society.

Abstract
Implicit Model is a fundametal concept on which cultural criticism is baed; as it deals with the function of a model in texts and discourses and examines the textual subconscious, and dismantles the academic rhetorical language that is far from social problems and facts of the social life. This model may be present in songs, costumes, fables, and proverbs, as it is in poems, stories, novels, and other forms of art. Beneath all these elements of implicit masculinity model, is a cultural system perceived by the listener, viewer, or reader because of its hidden adaptation to an older model fixed in the mind.This research tries to monitor and analyze the pattern of implicit masculinity in the novel "Salt Cities" written by Abd al-Rahman Munif, relying on the analytical-descriptive approach and in the light of cultural criticism that investigates implicit cultural patterns. In the sub-topics, the representations of masculinity in the novel Cities of Salt are such as: Power, having a male child, the inferiority of women and the superiority of men, and egoism or inflation of the ego. This study reached a series of results, the most important ones of which are: Abd al-Rahman Munif consciously and unconsciously put the model of masculinity behind the aesthetic and literary model and tried to focus on the margin in addition to the centrality.
