Summary/Abstract: The Cultural Criticism Theory since its appearance caused a kind of disagreement between those who adopted it with satisfaction and acceptance, and others who found it a staunch enemy of literary criticism. Therefore, the current study follows moderation and objectivity away from the view of complete satisfaction or complete hostility towards the issue. We will discuss the phenomenon of cultural criticism in terms of the problem of its validity to be applied to literary texts. To achieve this goal, we divided the study into three essential points. First, we will address the origin of cultural criticism. Second, we will reveal the importance of cultural criticism in the literature to know the dilemma in the issues of theory. Third, we will search for the solution to identify what is called the interruption of communication which is supposed to exist between the cultural criticism and literary criticism as well as the relationship between cultural criticism and the essence of literary theory.
