Postcolonial Lawrence: the mexican connection
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras/Inglês e Literatura Correspondente.Este trabalho lida com a produção de D.H.Lawrence enquanto o escritor inglês residia no México em 1923 e 1924, o romance The Plumed Serpent e os ensaios da coleção Mornings in Mexico, analisados de uma perspectiva pós-colonial. O projeto parte do pressuposto de que é tarefa do crítico pós-colonial, como Edward Said argumenta, tornar visível a ideologia contida nos textos imperiais e canônicos. Seria reducionista, no entanto, alegar que o material aqui analisado, em que pesem as estruturas coloniais que Lawrence necessariamente habita, seja "uniformemente imperialista". A complexidade do romance The Plumed Serpent reside precisamente no fato de que se pode observar uma ambivalência problemática: por um lado, um esforço inegável de Lawrence para tomar o partido das vítimas da Conquista Espanhola, o que leva o escritor a assumir uma postura "anti-imperialista", ainda que platônica, quando reverte papéis de figuras do episódio histórico, quais sejam, a figura de Hernán Cortés (criando um protagonista nativo mexicano que promove a reinstalação da religião Asteca, banindo o Cristianismo do México) e a figura de Malinche (amante e intérprete de Cortés); por outro lado, como qualquer sujeito imbricado em sua cultura, ele é inexoravelmente incapaz de atravessar o abismo que o separa do outro mexicano, e a questão da incomensurabilidade cultural se apresenta de forma infinitamente mais complexa do que ele poderia ter sonhado. O resultado de sua tentativa é que quanto mais ele verbaliza suas posições anti-eurocêntricas, mais o eurocentrismo se manifesta em seu discurso. Esse fenômeno é cuidadosamente analisado no capítulo sobre a questão racial (no qual investigo a relação entre Kate e Juana), também no capítulo intitulado "Utopian politics of resistance/orientalism", e ainda no capítulo que chamei "Barbaric Mexico". O capítulo III, "Pattern of role reversals: Fickle attempt of deconstruction" apresenta uma análise sistemática dos papéis históricos que Lawrence reverte em sua ficção. Por fim, o capítulo V apresenta uma análise rigorosa do contexto social do México enquanto Lawrence lá residiu e como ele se reflete no romance. A conclusão do trabalho aponta, à luz dos capítulos anteriores, para a dupla condição de Lawrence: por um lado, seu desejo de "desaprender a Europa" e sua vontade de resgatar "histórias esquecidas", seu genuino esforço, ainda que perturbado, de explorar diferença cultural; e, por outro lado, sua intensa dependência de construções históricas da própria cultura ocidental que ele tenta desafiar, e quão pouco consciente de suas limitações, enquanto sujeito de seu tempo e de sua cultura, ele foi. Como uma pessoa não-estabelecida e dividida, ele envereda pela tentativa de resistência a aspectos da ideologia imperialista, mas simultaneamente não consegue evitar as armadilhas da retórica do colonialismo

The modernist angel: Art at the Limits of the Human in D. H. Lawrence, H. D. and Mina Loy
No full textPhDThe subject of this thesis is a figure that might provisionally be called the *modemist
angel'. Focusing on modernist literature, and more particularly on the work of D. H.
Lawrence, H. D. and Mina Loy, it aims to isolate from the many angels found in all periods
and all types of art a historically specific and intellectually coherent paradigm: an angel of
and for its modernist times. A figure of precisely this type could be said to exist in the
form of Walter Benjamin's 'angel of history'. Critics who address the question of the
modern angel in texts by Franz Kafka and Rainer Maria Rilke often do so in conjunction
with the problem posed by the angel of history. Beginning with a chapter on Benjamin,
this thesis nevertheless follows a different trajectory. Over five chapters, it explores a
modernist landscape formed not only by Lawrence, H. D. and Loy, but also by European
and American writers such as A. R. Orage, Allen Upward, Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens,
Havelock Ellis, Edward Carpenter, Sigmund Freud and Friedrich Nietzsche. Although the
angel that emerges from this investigation might, in some respects, be said to anticipate
Benjamin's later version, this figure is also very different, standing for a project that is
distinctively, and recognisably, modernist in nature. He/she (the sex of the modernist
angel is often open to question) represents an attempt to reconcile the divine
responsibilities of the artist with the material and gendered conditions of being,
specifically of being human, in the modem world. This thesis looks again at the clash of
intellectual paradigms in the early-twentieth century - notably, the confrontation of the
Romantic view of art as a superhuman or sacred undertaking with the psychoanalytical or
evolutionary idea that all human endeavour is underpinned by sub-human motives - and
suggests the angel as a new and instructive figure through which to think the perilous
limits between the human and the divine in modernist literature
