چکیده (انگلیسی):

This paper is an attempt to study the notions of Identity and Self and its formation
through the intrusion of Ideology in “The Mark on the Wall”. Virginia Woolf had
already been well-introduced as a feminist critic and themes such asthe elusive
nature of storytelling and character study, the nature of truth and reality, and the
role of women in society had been thoroughly explored in her short stories. Being
known as the master of stream-of-consciousness and one of the pioneers in internal
monologue, her notions of ‘Self’ and ‘Identity’, with their striking resemblance to
Freudian notion of ‘Subject Formation’ have indeed yet not received the appropriate
consideration in the researches and deserves more attention. Explorations drawing
on her notions of ‘Subject Formation’, inevitably lead to AlthusserianGramsciai‘Ideology’/’Hegemony’, as well as the power struggles and ‘Dissidence’
concealed in the unconscious of the text.
