Summary/Abstract: This essay attempts to uncover image strategies in Zsuzsa Bánk̕ s novel "Die Hellen Tage", in which characters use images in order to construct for themselves a sustainable order of meaning. ›Image‹ is understood here as a structured and structuring scheme, also visually mediated, that serves as an orienting pattern for thinking, feeling and acting. This notion points to four major forces of structuring or creating order (perceiving, thinking, feeling and acting) in their close interconnection.
