This study explores the increasing significance of memory in the context of  auto-modernity, mobility and sociopolitical shifts.  It examines the spatial politics related to shifting memory horizons, emphasizing the flux  of borders of nations and the fluidity of political boundaries. Citing Henri Lefebvre, the study underscores that literary texts ubiquitously incorporate spatial elements, which are shaped by and shape everyday life and experiences. It challenges the concept of "absolute space" from the 1950s and 1960s, proposing instead that space is historically and socially produced. The sense of place is thus seen as a complex interplay of socio-cultural structures, behaviors, practices, language, and political discourse, influenced by natural forces and imagination. The study highlights how modernist fiction disrupted linear temporal chronology, integrating space as a vital narrative element.

Key words: Memory, space, narrative, transnationalism and diaspora.
