Item Discipline and power in Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go(2005) and Ngugi's Wizard of the Crow(2006)(Université Mouloud Mammeri Tizi Oouzou, 2025) Mokeddem Massyl; Mezaoui AliThis research paper explores the dynamics of hegemony and resistance to panoptic power in British Nonel Prize novelist Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go (2005) and Kenyan novelist Ngugi wa Thiong’o’s Wizard of the Crow (2006), employing Antonio Gramsci’s theory of cultural hegemony alongside Michel Foucault’s concept of ‘Panopticism’. The first chapter explores the issue of Hegemony in both works. In the second chapter, we investigated the ways into which hegemonic powers are put into practice and becomes panoptic power through the disciplinary practices of ‘the Gaze’ and ‘Surveillance’ and the third chapter focus on resistance to panoptic power in both works . The chapters reach the result that both Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go and Ngugi ’s Wizard of the Crow depict societies under pervasive surveillance and ideological domination, where power operates not only through overt coercion but through the internalization of control and consent. The third chapter explores resistance in both Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go (2005) and Ngugi’s Wizard of the Crow (2006). It reaches the result that societies caught in the trap of hegemony and panoptic power resit it either passively like in Never Let Me Go or overtly like in Wizard of the Crow.
