Metaphor and "metaphysic" : the sense of language in D.H. Lawrence
Full text linkThis study contributes to the contemporary debate about the language
of D. H. Lawrence concentrating on metaphor as the necessary vehicle
of Lawrence's 'metaphysic'. The focus is on the different levels of
attention to language in his work, and to Lawrence's responsiveness to
the levels of metaphor within language. Lawrence is seen here as one
who, in the Heideggerean sense, 'poetically thinks'. The texts
outlined below are given special consideration, representing a
particular body of language and thought within Lawrence's oeuvre
Chapter 1 outlines the purpose of the study and establishes the
Importance of Nietzsche, Heidegger and Paul Ricoeur on language,
specifically metaphor, in setting up the necessary philosophical
context for discussion of Lawrence. Chapter 2 addresses the selfconsciously
metaphorical language of the nominally 'discursive'
essays, Psychoanalysis and the Unconscious and Fantasia of the
Unconscious, underlining Lawrence's alertness to the efficacy of
metaphor rather than a referential or conceptual idiom. Fresh emphasis
is given to Psychoanalysis and the Unconscious as a central text in
the language debate. The insights afforded by these essays make it
possible to move to the fiction and, in chapter 3, to Women in Love.
Here the thesis builds on Lawrence's philosophical understanding of
the concept 'metaphor': in this novel, principally through a
consideration of 'love', Lawrence is seen to pull metaphor away from
its merely rhetorical status. Chapter 4 examines the different mode
and language of The Rainbow focusing on its more enveloping, less
'frictional', medium. By chapter 5, called 'Lawrence and Language',
the philosophical questions which emerge from a reading of these texts
can be addressed more explicitly. Finally, a conclusion underlines the
difficulties of talking about language stressing the importance,
implicit throughout, of reading Lawrence on his own terms. The
conscious and subliminal levels of metaphor within Lawrence's language
have been seen to bear his thought. What philosophy generally explains
analytically, Lawrence's language communicates metaphorically

Reflections on Lawrence
Full text linkLawrence, volume 52, issue 3. From the introduction: Lawrence is preparing another birthday celebration, the 125th, and though the individuals and activities have changed, the same mood of optimistic excitement prevails. To discover the how and the why of these changes and this mood, LAWRENCE invited five faculty members who were celebrants at the 100th anniversary to reflect upon the events and the discussions which have taken place during the last 25 years. Participants in this discussion included Dorothy Draheim, registrar; Anne P. Jones, professor of French; Bernard Heselton, professor of physical education; Marshall B. Hulbert, administrator; and James Ming, professor of music.https://lux.lawrence.edu/archives_selections/1006/thumbnail.jp

50 Years Ago: A Surprise Announcement that Changed Lawrence
Full text linkOctober 22 is one of the most important dates in Lawrence’s history. Fifty-years ago today, an announcement was made 100 miles away in Milwaukee that helped transform Lawrence College into Lawrence University: Milwaukee-Downer, an all-women’s college would close its doors and consolidate with Lawrence.
In 1964, Downer’s 43-acre, east-side Milwaukee campus was sold to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and 49 female students and 21 faculty members transferred to Lawrence. Forty-four of the original 49 Milwaukee-Downer students eventually earned bachelor’s degrees from Lawrence, and 11 of the faculty members remained at Lawrence until their retirement.
Lawrence archivist Erin Dix ’08, recounts the news of that surprising, and stunning, announcement on its 50th anniversary
Lawrence University Joins the Appleton Compassion Project
Full text linkThe Appleton Compassion Project is a community art project led by inspired by Richard Davidson, PhD — a University of Wisconsin-Madison brain researcher who has studied people who practice compassion. Davidson’s research demonstrates that compassion can be learned and can be practiced as a skill. “A little more joy might be within everyone’s reach,” Davidson said.
Beginning last fall, more than 10 thousand Appleton K-12 art students and hundreds of others in the community received a 6-inch-by-6-inch white panel (tile) on which to portray their idea of compassion. More than five hundred tiles were distributed to Lawrence University student organizations, academic departments and offices at Lawrence. “It is our hope that as many members of the Lawrence community as possible will take a moment to have a conversation about the nature of compassion and to produce a visual image on a panel,” said Jonathan R. Vanko, a sophomore at Lawrence and president of the Lawrence University Community Council. “Through the Appleton Compassion Project, we have a unique opportunity to collaborate with others and to connect Lawrence with the Appleton community, bringing many of our neighbors to campus.”
The exhibition opens Sunday, May 1, noon – 4 p.m. at Jason Downer Commons. The Trout Museum of Art, 111 W. College Ave., and the Appleton Area School District are sponsors of the Appleton Compassion Project. The Trout Museum’s gallery space will also feature compassion tiles from more than 10,000 Appleton Area School District students
