  • A Žižekian Reading of DH Lawrence
    ISSN 1751-8229 Volume Twelve, Number Three The Sublime Subject of Literary Analysis: A Žižekian Reading of D. H. Lawrence Vicky Panossian, Lebanese American University, Lebanon Abstract This article aims to present a Žižekian reading of the British author David Herbert Lawrence. The contemporary continental philosopher has tackled each of the British author’s reoccurring themes individually and thus may be used as a keystone for a valid literary interpretation. The paper begins by shedding light on the representation of Western ideology, moves further into the comprehension of the impacts of modern cultural capital and the limitations of industrialization. While at the same time the dissertation targets another component of the romantic poet’s many writings, which is the regeneration of the subject’s carnal presence as a defense mechanism against the prevalent culture of de- humanization. The argument at hand is that the reconstruction of the bodily image rendered through Lawrence’s erotic literature is not one that portrays promiscuity, but rather demonstrates a transgression of the Lacanian symbolic and the attainment of a partial rendition of a Hegelian totality. Lawrence’s six novels and set of poems are thoroughly analyzed from a strictly Žižekian perspective to demonstrate that the two authors share thematic representations, a common worldview and propose a manifestation of how literary analyses may be conveyed using Žižek as a philosophical lens for literary interpretation. Keywords Slavoj Žižek, D.H. Lawrence, poetry, Literary analysis, capitalism, Hegel, Lacan, Psychoanalysis, Eroticism, Totality Exordium: A Briefing Slavoj Žižek and David Herbert Lawrence are known for their bluntness, their love of truth and their extensive interest in continental ideology.

Department of f~ jn^ CcQ^l The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date i ABSTRACT Lawrence's Letters dated September and October, 1924 give clear evidence that Lawrence considered St. Mawr, "The Princess", and "The Woman Who Rode Away" to be an organic group related in terms of theme, mood and setting. My interpretation of the archetypal patterns under• lying these three works gives further evidence of their overall unity in symbolic and structural design, a design which consists of five major features: 1) a marked dependence on mythic patterns which manifest the psychic growth of the heroines, and structure that growth in terms of the heroic quest.

  • Appendix. Race Vs. Ethnicity: the Case of the Gypsies
    Appendix. Race vs. Ethnicity: The Case of the Gypsies The Gypsies provide a good example of the complex and changing nature of categorization and nomenclature, along with the opportunity to revisit the ideas of Max Silverman about the Jew (discussed in the previous chapter) and to apply those ideas to the Gypsy. Over the centuries, the legal status of the Gypsy in England has evolved from alien immigrant to vagrant and beggar to (in 1988) a specific ethnic group protected under race relations legislation. This change in definition has not diminished the confusion about who or what is a ‘Gypsy’, as reflected by contradictory legislative acts in England. David Mayall summarizes some of the major difficulties in capturing ‘Gypsy identity’: Encyclopaedias and reference texts vary in their definitions and change over time, academics and Gypsiologists fail to agree over the basis of Gypsy identity, the state until recently found it acceptable to have two contrasting statutory definitions of the group, internal inconsistencies exist within one source and the works of particular authors, and race and ethnicity as clas- sificatory systems are repeatedly conflated despite fundamental differences in their meanings. Although ethnicity has become the term du jour, there are problems with it. Citing scholar Siân Jones, Mayall observes that ‘the expansion of the category [of ethnicity] to include, among others, groups formerly seen as “nations”, “tribes”, “minorities”, “cultures”, “racial groups” and “religious groups” raises serious questions about the utility of the concept itself.’ He noted at the time of publica- tion of his book in 2004 that the British state continued to define Gypsies as both an ethnic group and a nomadic group, a confusing situation given that these are very different definitions with different potential and actual consequences.

  • A KRISTEVAN READING of DH LAWRENCE's NOVELS By
    MATERNITY, ABJECTION, LOVE, AND REVOLUTIONARY LANGUAGE: A KRISTEVAN READING OF D. H. LAWRENCE’S NOVELS by HEATHER SHEA AKERS (Under the Direction of Adam Parkes) ABSTRACT This dissertation explores Kristeva’s theoretical work on individuation, relationships, encounters with horror, and art and artisanship, as they are anticipated and dramatized in the novels of D. H. Lawrence. In contrast to the modernist and feminist scholars in the last few decades who have criticized both Lawrence and Kristeva for an apparent tendency towards essentialism, in this project I counter that both novelist and psychoanalyst attempt to destroy such binary oppositions as man / woman, body / mind, and emotion / reason, even as both make statements that at first may appear to be self-contradictory. By examining the novels of Lawrence alongside Kristeva’s theories, I show points where Lawrence’s work can benefit from a psychoanalytic approach that relies on more neo-Freudian and neo-Lacanian modes of understanding. The arrangement of the dissertation’s chapters will follow a developmental model, beginning with Lawrence’s characters in their childhood encounters with the mother, moving through their efforts to forge separate identity while encountering the universal horror of the abject, exploring their desires to merge with another in romantic union, and finally discussing their perspectives on motherhood and their roles as artists, both conventional and revolutionary.

LAWRENCE’S FICTION By Katherine Elizabeth Williamson A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Arts in The Department of English School of Graduate Studies Rhode Island College 2008 Williamson 2 Nearly eighty years after his death, D. H. Lawrence remains a contentious figure in literary criticism. His popularity has waxed and waned through the decades, as various schools of criticism have offered fresh interpretations of (and judgments about) his work. A striking feature of much Lawrence criticism is its tendency to classify and interpret Lawrence’s fiction in terms of binary two-category systems, regardless of the school from which the critics write.

  • A Study of the Virgin and the Gipsy
    論 文 A Study of The Virgin and the Gipsy : D. H. Lawrence’s Essential Attitude Towards Christianity Akiko Yamada 要 旨 『処女とジプシー』は，D. H.ロレンスの死後1930年に出版された中 編小説である。これまでに多くの研究者がこの中編小説を論じてきて いる。主な論文としてターナーやリーヴィスやリューダーマンのもの があるが，彼らの精力的な研究に敬意を表す一方で，筆者には彼らの 主題の捉え方はまだ十分であるとは思われない。筆者は，この物語の 主題には，イヴェットの母親の存在が関わっていると捉える。つまり 実際には物語に登場はしなくて回想のうちに述べられているイヴェッ トの母親「シンシアであった女性」が，イヴェットとジプシーと同じ く主人公の一人であると考える。彼女の行動が牧師館の中に住む家族 に大きな影響を与えており，イヴェットが母親の血に目覚めて，牧師 館から心理的に脱出するという行為が肯定されているのである。この 脱出に一番大きな力を貸しているのがジプシー，ジョー・ボズエルで あり，更にイーストウッド夫妻の影響も見逃せない。一方で，牧師と その母親は作者に批判されており，特に二人が代表するキリスト教思 想が糾弾されているのである。 『処女とジプシー』と同時期に書かれた『羽鱗の蛇』や『チャタレー 卿夫人の恋人』や『死んだ男』にもキリスト教批判は表れているが，『処 女とジプシー』においてはこの主題が凝縮して描写されており，彼のキ リスト教に対する思想の集大成と思われる作品となっている，と捉える。 ― 1 ― 愛知大学 言語と文化 No. 28 キーワード： the gipsy（ジプシー）， Christianity（キリスト教）， the white world（白い世界）， the dark world（黒い世界）， smash of taboo（タブーの破壊） Introduction D. H. Lawrence depicted the collapse of Christianity in many of his works, for example, in Women in Love, The Lost Girl, Aaron’s Rod, The Plumed Serpent, Lady Chatterley’s Lover and so on. And this attitude is to be found in The Virgin and the Gipsy in its most severe expression. It is there in the description of the rectory where the two sisters, Lucille and Yvette live. They were nine and seven years old when their mother eloped with a young and penniless man. The model for Yvette is Frieda’s daughter, Barbara Weekly. J. Moynahan puts it as follows : “The Virgin and the Gypsy,”1) published only posthumously but written around 1925 and set in a village of southern Derbyshire, grew out of a final visit Lawrence made to the Midlands in the middle nineteen-twenties. The Saywell family situation while recalling that of “Daughters of the Vicar” evokes much more directly the situation of the Weekly family after Frieda’s elopement and divorce.
