Metaphor and "metaphysic" : the sense of language in D.H. Lawrence
No full textThis 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

D.H. LAWRENCE AND LITERARY GENRES
No full textD. H. Lawrence's works cover most literary genres, and problems connected to the theory of genre are often discussed in his essays. However, nowadays criticism tends to call into question the old categories, those of literary genres included, and a major question today is whether Lawrence can be read in new ways and whether his works can still respond to the new configuration of our multicultural world. Indeed, Lawrence’s writings show moments in which he assumes a non-Eurocentric point of view calling into question the most consolidated certainties of the western world
The industrial nightmare: a study of the evils of industrialism from D. H. Lawrence's : the white peacock to women in love
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Comunicação e ExpressãoO objetivo do presente estudo é a análise das mudanças sociais e psicológicas surgidas com o advento do industrialismo, tais como elas são vistas por D. H. Lawrence em seus romances "O Pavão Branco", "Filhos e Amantes", "O Arco-Iris" e "Mulheres Apaixonadas". Lawrence via o ?progresso? como um mal necessário que trazia consigo uma grande carga de pressões e exigências, levando os indivíduos a pagar um alto preço pelos seus duvidosos benefícios. Partindo do primeiro livro analisado aqui, "O Pavão Branco", Lawrence mostra uma sociedade rural que vai pouco a pouco se industrializando e perdendo em qualidade, com o progresso. No último livro estudado nesta dissertação, "Mulheres Apaixonadas", Lawrence apresenta um universo caótico onde alguns personagens se encontram irremediavelmente perdidos, enquanto outros tentam encontrar uma nova forma de vida através de caminhos nunca antes experimentados. Analisando as principais causas que levaram Lawrence a odiar tão profundamente a sociedade industrial, eu tento mostrar a influência que o meio em que ele nasceu e viveu teve em sua obra. O contraste entre o país que ele conheceu em sua infância e a sociedade industrial na qual ele viveu sua vida adulta, muito influenciou sua visão do mundo. Através das idéias sociais de Lawrence algumas inaceitáveis para o senso comum, outras dolorosamente verdadeiras mesmo hoje é possível encontrar um homem extremamente contraditório: Lawrence era, antes de tudo, um homem que acreditava na capacidade humana de regeneração; como a fênix, seu próprio símbolo, ele acreditava que o homem era capaz de renascer das cinzas, cheio de vigor, para viver um outro ciclo de vida
