Salman Rushdie, currently one of the great names of contemporary literature in English is recognized for his contribution on representations in which the concept of identity, local and global intertwine to language as an ideological construct. Literature is thus a proper space for the questioning gaze on the inherent authoritarianism of the former. However, rather than a speech explicitly whistleblower or propaganda, the author establishes a fictional game on the paths of History in his books, destabilizing so-called official truths. This way, he prints his autobiographical experience towards censorship. In this work, then we aim at analyzing the constitution of the subject who is undermined by Power in Haroun and the Sea of Stories (1991) from two points: in what it concerns to the fluidity of language and to the inherent voices of the speech. These, on their turn, are linked to the issue of the authorship and the place of formation of this subject, seen inside his contextual complexity which involves other issues, such as gender.
