Abstract

First, let’s look at the researchers Rene Wellek and Austin Warren, to see their thoughts on the image: “Images are a topic that belongs to both psychology and literary studies. In psychology, the word “image” means a mental reproduction, a memory, of a past sensory or perceptual experience, not necessarily visual. Francis Galton’s pioneering research, in the 1880s, attempted to discover how far people could visually reproduce the past and found that people varied greatly in their degree of visualization. But images are not only visual. The classifications of psychologists and aesthetes are numerous. There are not only “gustatory” and “olfactory” images, but there are thermal images and pressure images (“kinesthetic,” “haptic,” “empathic”). There is an important distinction between static and kinetic (or “dynamic”) images.
