“…142-143) The connections of which Woolf writes suggest the possibility of an intersubjectivity existing between people of different genders, different politics, and different socioeconomic statuses. Angela Frattarola (2009) argues that in many of Woolf's novels, including in Between the Acts, sound is "used to connect a character to the world" (p. 139). Because, as David Michael Levin (1989) notes, sound does not "stop at the boundaries set by the egocentric body" (p. 32), sound is a means of overcoming the isolation that occurs when the visual is privileged.…”

This essay will examine the way in which media technologies, through object agency, produce intersubjectivity and, thus, challenge the autonomy of the self. For H.D. (Hilda Doolittle), the image produced by the cinema bridges differences created by conventional language, culture, and nationality. Her poems, "Projector" and "Projector II (Chang)," celebrate the importance of the projector that reasserts light as deity. By contrast, Virginia Woolf privileges sound in her search for intersubjectivity. Woolf's last novel, Between the Acts, presents a much bleaker view-particularly of machine-generated intersubjectivity-of the loss of autonomy in the rise of Hitler and Fascism.
