Abstract

This article investigates how Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) writes about fatherhood throughout her work, understanding that the author weaves a pattern of human relationships which sometimes uses life, sometimes death, as the raw material for the construction of a vital community—making the positive encounter with difference an indispensable element for this construction (BRAIDOTTI, 2011). Therefore, I explore Woolf’s recordings of her family life found in the text A Sketch of the Past (1976) in order to discover how the author textually rebuilds her memories, constantly flirting with her fictional writing strategies. These are the scenes that will rearticulate Woolf’s biographical father in her memory to rearrange figurations of fatherhood throughout her work.
