on the root of human feeling

This is another way of putting it avoiding 'listen' which I'm not sure of here.
I think she means the written word (in her work) polarizes the reader's/onlooker's attention, directing it towards the origins of a feeling but this is just my interpretation.

...a gesture that reveals a desire to focus one's attention more carefully on the root of human feeling
