Savina provided some hints for reflection before we listen to her thoughts:


I am interested in discussing and comparing the remedial value that Woolf attributed to writing(form) with the viability of her other remedial suggestions for the ills of the modern world, as they rest on the same foundations. Considering Woolf’s exceptionally relational sensitivity to otherness and her relevant advice to value differences in a collaborative and ethical perspective, are her sociological suggestions a practicable remedy which we can concretely adopt today? Both her aesthetic and ethical reflections are concerned with ways of ensuring unity. Her artistic practice has proved successful; is her ethical lesson equally viable? Her art seems more experienced in the practice of constructing wholeness and thus achieving unity; is this what art can (still) teach ethics: to be relational’ and, consequently, also remedial?
