This study addresses the complex relationship between the Emirati novel and reality, and the reflection of the major transformations experienced by Emirati society within the narrative output. A part of the issue also lies in the gap observed in critical discourse regarding the study of social transformations in the Emirati novel, as well as in classifying these transformations due to their intricate links with political, economic, and cultural changes. The study aims to trace the manifestations of social transformations in the narrative structure of the novels under examination, to classify these transformations, and to reveal their connection to the changes that Emirati society has undergone—beginning with the discovery of oil and extending to the second decade of the 21st century. It also seeks to shed light on the development of the Emirati novel, including changes in its language and narrative techniques under the influence of societal transformation. The descriptive-analytical method has been adopted to describe, interpret, and classify the social transformations. The texts are analyzed in accordance with critical theories that study literary phenomena in relation to their social context. The significance of the study lies in its revelation of how the Emirati novel documents important aspects of social change, its role in educating society, and its contribution to the development of critical approaches through the introduction of new artistic techniques that call for updated critical tools. Additionally, the study is important for providing individuals and institutions interested in literary research—and in the study of the Emirati novel in particular—with a systematic scientific perspective that constitutes a valuable addition to the field. The study concludes that social transformations are clearly present in the Emirati novel, represented in economic and urban development, shifts in labor and social relations, and the evolving status and role of women in society. It also finds that these transformations are closely tied to the reality that produced them. Furthermore, the study highlights the development of the Emirati novel beyond the traditional classical form, moving toward experimentation and the creation of new narrative worlds that reflect the spirit of the age and document its changes.
