The paper aims to explore how a practice-oriented re-reading of phenomenology can contribute to a ‘new humanism’ after anti-/posthumanism. It starts from a research study on ‘The Stranger, the city and the nation’. . The purpose is to embed

The A. presents end explicates the spatialities tentatively mapped in the novels of A. Robbe-Grillet. These spatialities are at odds with the kind of anthropocentrism of phenomenological narratives of spatial experience. It is argued that his
literature reflects an experience of the critiques of phenomenology. Literary effets produce a nonanthropocentric and nonpersonal spatiality which at the same time expose and open up a sociospatiality based on singularities, intensities, and finitude.
