Since literature is considered by language teachers as a vehicle of the foreign culture, it would be interesting to contribute to research on the most appropriate methods to teach it effectively. In the same vein, we believe that entering a literary text through the elements that revolve around it can direct the reader to the construction of meaning based on his/her prior knowledge. Therefore, we propose to show, through the reading of illustration and epigraphs from one of Assia Djebar’s novels, how text and co-text are closely interwoven to produce meaning, and thus to define the notion of context related to the literary fact.
