The analysis focuses on Woolf's "The Waves", which seems to be informed by a complex kind of visual modality consisting of three components. The first deals with the level of formal structure and involves a formal comparison with spatial arts. The second, and most explicit, is related to Woolf's strong visual sensibility and, hence, to the verbal translation of visual stimuli in order both to describe the phenomenal world and to convey an emotive complex by means of images. The third relates to the gnoseological dimension of the gaze-modality structuring the whole text and representingc the inquiry into the essence of reality.

Abstract

The analysis focuses on Woolf's "The Waves", which seems to be informed by a complex kind of visual modality consisting of three components. The first deals with the level of formal structure and involves a formal comparison with spatial arts. The second, and most explicit, is related to Woolf's strong visual sensibility and, hence, to the verbal translation of visual stimuli in order both to describe the phenomenal world and to convey an emotive complex by means of images. The third relates to the gnoseological dimension of the gaze-modality structuring the whole text and representingc the inquiry into the essence of reality.
