Abstract
Social man is always identified in connection with the class in which he lives. What forms this class are social structures, relations of production and relations between masters, servants, and technical and productive means in the context of society. Meanwhile, society in general and the family in particular constitute the two main institutions of social organization that provide the basis for the growth and formation of the social individual. In this essay, with a descriptive-analytical approach, an attempt has been made to examine the attitude and goals of the author of the novel Fasadat al-Amkaneh within the framework of the concept of "transpersonal agent" based on Lucien Goldman's theory. The results of this research show that in the novel Fasadat al-Amkaneh, by depicting different social classes including capitalists, intellectuals, and indigenous forces, the author has criticized the dominant structures of contemporary Egyptian society. This work depicts the plundered national capital and shows that imported freedom and modernity did not come from within the nation, but from outside it, paving the way for exploitation and domination. In the novel, by criticizing the political and social structure of Egypt, especially government interventions and criticizing religious and cultural groups, it addresses important issues such as the deprivation of women's freedom, the deepening of class differences, and social conflicts. By depicting two opposing classes, the novel attempts to expose the structural inequalities existing in society and emphasize the need to redefine the true position of indigenous peoples in society. In the two novels, using social and historical concepts, they are a reflection of collective class consciousness and, from the perspective of supra-individual actors, they expose cultural plunder and economic exploitation, both by internal factors and by external powers.
