In this dissertation I study the ways in which representations of space and place reflect a particular shift in the questioning of national identity in six novels published after the Spanish and Portuguese accession to the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1986: A Jangada de Pedra (1986), by Jose Saramago; El invierno en Lisboa (1987), by Antonio Munoz Molina; El hombre solo [Gizona bere bakardadean] (1993), by Bernardo Atxaga; Exortacao aos Crocodilos (1999), by Antonio Lobo Antunes; O Mar de Madrid (2000), by Jose de Melo; and Ebora (2006), by Xose Carlos Caneiro. I read these novels within the scope of Iberian Studies and I posit European accession as a starting point from which to examine the contemporary aspect of the Peninsula's interconnectedness. Although the space of the nation is a perennial topic, I demonstrate that there is an important shift in the questioning the marker of "national" after joining the supranational organization. The theoretical framework for this dissertation centers around spatiality, broadly defined. In each chapter I align a different branch of spatial analytics with a key factor in the process of European integration under the auspices of the EEC, later the European Union (EU), in order to develop my argument. The common thread through each chapter remains a sense of anxiety surrounding the national that the novels work out in their treatment of space and place. As the augmentation of globalization's forces associated with EEC/EU membership has facilitated the movement across space, the validity of boundaries and borders has become increasingly tenuous.
