The Mind, a Room of
One's Own: An Epiphanic Moment in Virginia Woolf
aquí van el resumen y la bionota:
Abstract:
This chapter is a close reading of a passage in Virginia Woolf's essay A Room of One's Own, examining the way in which the author expresses her theory of the androgynous mind through the spontaneous thought processes of a moment of epiphany in a "center of consciousness" or focalizing self. An emphasis is placed on Woolf's reflexive awareness of the workings of the mind as a synthesizing process, and on its ability to shape reality into an environment of one's own. The mind's response to the external environment and its modeling of reality 'within' is a first step towards the transformation of the social reality 'without' in a dialectical process.
