The difference and contrast between “representation” and “vision” (in the uses of these terms that have been introduced, defined and employed here) and the reference to the inseparability – when we wish to move within a symbolic dimension, of the presence of a “context of an antinomic type” which is, precisely due to this, inherently ambiguous – recalls and places, in an immediate manner, the theme of ambiguity of the figures used in a particular way of treating and using the figure-background relationship.
