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

Lawrence University Jazz Series Welcomes Jeremy Pelt Quintet Feb. 17
No full textAward-winning trumpet player Jeremy Pelt and his four-member band make their Lawrence University debut Friday, February 17 at 8 p.m. in the Lawrence Memorial Chapel as part of the college’s 2011-12 Jazz Series.
Since its formation in 2007, the Pelt Quintet has emerged as one of jazz’s top-tier mainstream performers. The band recently returned from an international tour that took them throughout Europe as well as Turkey and India and celebrated the release of their fourth album, “Soul,” which features six works written by Pelt.
Legendary jazz writer, producer and former associate editor of DownBeat magazine Nat Hentoff has said, “It is the beat of Jeremy Pelt’s heart…that underscores the future of jazz.”
A California native who began playing the trumpet in elementary school, Pelt has earned the repeated praise of DownBeat and the Jazz Journalist Association, both of which have named him a “rising star” on trumpet five years in a row. His early focus was on classical studies, but in high school his interests in jazz emerged. He went on to study jazz performance and film studies at Boston’s Berklee College of Music.
He played his first professional gig with the Mingus Big Band and since making his home in New York, Pelt has performed with jazz icons Roy Hargrove, Ravi Coltrane, Greg Osby and Cassandra Wilson, among others.
“Jeremy’s Quintet brings a performing style to Lawrence’s Jazz Series that we haven’t witnessed on campus since the Mingus Big Band was here in 2003,” said Fred Sturm, director of jazz studies and improvisational music at Lawrence. “It’s too confining to dub it ‘hard bop,’ though Jeremy is obviously influenced by the great lineage of hard bop era trumpeters Clifford Brown, Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard and others. Jeremy and the guys bring their unique individual musical histories to the table, drawing upon influences as far ranging as Louis Armstrong and hip hop. I suspect what we’ll hear may best be described as ‘contemporary straight ahead jazz.’”
In addition to leading is own band — tenor saxophonist J.D. Allen, pianist Danny Grissett, Dwayne Burno on bass and drummer Gerald Cleaver — Pelt is member of the Lewis Nash Septet and The Cannonball Adderley Legacy Band featuring Louis Hayes.
“I’m anxious for our jazz students to hear and interact with Jeremy and his band,” said Sturm. “This is a young jazz artist who is only a decade farther down the road than our upperclassmen. It will be inspirational for the students to witness what big-league talent and dedication will earn you in a rigorous and competitive domain.”
In addition to “Soul,” Pelt’s discography includes 2011’s “Talented Mr. Pelt,” “November,” released in 2008 and 2005’s “Identity.

Civil Rights Legend John Lewis Speaks at Lawrence University Convocation
No full textU.S. Congressman John Lewis of Georgia, a leading figure on the front lines of this nation’s civil rights movement, speaks on the importance of student activism and involvement in the protection of human rights and civil liberties in America Tuesday, Feb. 8 in the third installment of Lawrence University’s 2004-05 convocation series.
Hailed as “a genuine American hero” for his courage in the face of discrimination and human injustice, Lewis delivers the address “Get in the Way” at 11:10 a.m. in the Lawrence University Memorial Chapel.
The son of Alabama sharecroppers, Lewis, 64, grew up in the segregated South of the 1940s and ’50s, a time when signs for “Whites” and “Colored” were commonplace. Inspired by radio news broadcasts of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his message of peaceful reform, Lewis committed himself at an early age to human rights activism.
While attending Fisk University, Lewis organized sit-in demonstrations at segregated lunch counters in Nashville and participated in the famed “Freedom Rides” of the early 1960s, occupying bus seats reserved for whites only. At the age of 23, he became chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, helping organize student activism and earning recognition as one of the “Big Six” leaders of the civil rights movement, joining King, Whitney Young, A. Phillip Randolph, James Farmer and Roy Wilkins.
As SNCC chairman, Lewis was a principal architect of, and a keynote speaker at, the March on Washington in August 1963, in which King delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Two years later, Lewis led a march for voters’ rights in Alabama that ended in violence when marchers were attacked by state troopers in a brutal confrontation that became known as “Bloody Sunday.” News accounts of the event helped speed the passage of the Voting Rights Act later that same year.
Lewis entered public politics in 1981 with his election to the Atlanta City Council. He joined the U.S. Congress in 1986 and has represented Georgia’s Fifth Congressional District in Washington the past 19 years.
Profiled in a 1975 Time magazine article entitled “Saints Among Us,” Lewis’ efforts on behalf of human rights and civil liberties have been recognized with numerous awards, including the Martin Luther King, Jr. Non-Violent Peace Prize, the John F. Kennedy “Profile in Courage Award” for lifetime achievement, the NAACP Spingarn Medal for outstanding achievement and the National Education Association Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Award.
Lewis earned a bachelor’s degree in religion and philosophy from Fisk University and is a graduate of the American Baptist Theological Seminary. In addition, he has been recognized with nearly a dozen honorary degrees from Duke, Harvard and Princeton universities, among others.
His biography, “Walking With The Wind: A Memoir of the Movement,” was published in 1998
