      abstract = {This dissertation seeks to examine these changing spatial  logics of novels written at the neoliberal turn, many of  them during times of political strife and military  occupation. In the novels I analyze—by Adalet Ağaoğlu,  Orhan Pamuk, Nazlı Eray, Bilge Karasu, Latife Tekin, Emine  Sevgi Özdamar, and Elif Şafak—space, variously  architectural, geographic, and surreal—overshadows the  narrative’s bumbling and automatonish characters, becoming  in a way the main character itself, as it slides from  miniscule to vast, from still to dynamic. Set in the  depoliticized and neoliberal spaces of the 1980s and 90s,  these novels thus give the “spectralized non-place” of  Turkish literature in the global canon a new resonance,  inviting us to fashion a more robust theory of what  literary space “is,” and what it has to say about social  spaces of the world that resist reification.},
