In contemporary fiction, shifting identities, contested spaces, and sociopolitical ruptures are central concerns, reflecting the broader crises of migration, ecological displacement, posthumanism, and gendered spatial politics. The Novel in Transition examines these intersections of space, identity, and power, offering critical insights into how novels engage with the changing landscapes of selfhood and spatiality. Building on theoretical approaches in geocriticism, feminist theory, and postcolonial studies, this volume explores how fiction constructs and deconstructs subjectivities within fluid geographies. It traces the evolving narratives of transformation that define contemporary literature, from nomadic resistance in dystopian landscapes to the contested terrains of diaspora and belonging. By engaging with these pressing issues, this book positions fiction as both a theoretical framework and a mode of empirical analysis, illustrating its role in shaping new imaginaries of identity and space in an era of unprecedented global change.
