Abstract

This study delves into the impact of globalization and information technologies on the socio-cultural and spatial dimensions of Morocco in the 21st century. Through a semiotic analysis of space in Yacine Adnan's debut novel, Hot Maroc, the author examines the changing face of Marrakech and Morocco at the onset of the new century, particularly with the emergence of the internet. The study argues that the author constructs a dystopian image of globalization in the Moroccan context, touching on both sociocultural and spatial aspects. The analysis of the semiotics of space in Hot Maroc reveals how the author uses space as a literary tool to depict the spatial and sociocultural transformations witnessed by Morocco. The study concludes that social and spatial mobility of characters is a crucial dimension through which one can make sense of the nature of these changes.
