Abstract:
Pour D. H. Lawrence, artiste caméléon aux multiples visages qui consacra sa vie a l'art et a la réflexion sur l'art, l'oeuvre d'art demeure la célébration sublime de la vie sous toutes ses facettes. Sa volonté de comprendre son art et celui des autres l'amène naturellement a la critique d'art - littéraire ou pictural - dont il renouvelle la dimension créatrice, notamment dans «Study of Thomas Hardy » et « Studies in classic american literature ». Essais critiques et oeuvres de fiction participent de la même quête - a savoir la recherche d'un équilibre de la tension entre les forces de vie et les forces de mort qui régissent l'univers dont l'artiste fait partie et dont le conflit s'incarne dans l'oeuvre d'art. Ses analyses critiques concrètes font apparaitre les impasses et les perspectives de l'art passé et contemporain - Cézanne, Van Gogh et les artistes étrusques, par exemple. Si Lawrence s'intéresse surtout à l'écriture et a la peinture dans ses réflexions sur l'art, il n'en demeure pas moins que le roman reste pour lui le lieu privilégié des interactions entre réflexion et production artistique: « Women in love » est l'exemple le plus convaincant d'un roman a la fois critique et objet d'art. C'est aussi une oeuvre limite qui amène Lawrence à revenir ensuite vers une forme romanesque plus traditionnelle comme celle de « Lady Chatterley's lover », et à se livrer a une « orgie » de peinture accomplie au seuil de la mort afin de « dire » ce que ses oeuvres écrites n'ont peut-être pas su faire entendre au lecteur.

Abstract:
D. H. Lawrence fonde son art romanesque sur un constat dualiste flagrant. L'homme/la femme, le conscient / l'inconscient, le jour/la nuit, la vie / la mort, l'esprit / le corps, animus / anima, sont autant de poles opposes dans sa representation esthetique. Toutefois, sa conception dualiste n'eclaire pas tous les aspects de l'oeuvre. En effet une place importante y est consacree a la dynamique de l'inconscient qui est concu comme un creuset vers lequel tendent, et dans lequel, se resorbent ces realites conflictuelles. Car l'inconscient lawrencien signifie la source vitale de l'homme. Cette vision a pour objet de rehabiliter les richesses de l'inconscient humain par opposition au champ d'analyse freudienne plus axee sur les inhibitions et la censure. En cela, lawrence et jung se rejoignent tout a fait dans une sorte d'inconscient << collectif >> ou se realise l'integration des contraires. Par l'entremise d'une quete mystique et sensuelle, le personnage lawrencien, dechire entre le diktat de son mental et la paisible reconquete. De son corps, s'efforce de prendre conscience des limites de sa condition d'etre et tente de transcender ces memes limites en cherchant a << cosmiser >> sa place dans l'univers ; un univers etrange et merveilleux, a la limite de l'humain.

Abstract:
In 1919 Lawrence left England to search for a better society; his novels and travel sketches (the latter are usually seen as peripheral to the novels) continually questioned the values of Western society. This study examines D.H. Lawrence's great 'English' novels in the light of their vivid portrayal of place and community. However, to procure a new emphasis the novels and travel writing are brought into close alignment, in order to examine the way in which the sorts of philosophical questions Lawrence was interested in - ideas on human character, marriage, social structures, God, time, and history - influence his portrayal of place and community across both these genres. Chapter I, on Sons and Lovers, emphasises the way social and historical factors can shape human relationships as powerfully as personal psychology. In Chapter II, on Twilight in Italy, discussion of the effect of place on human character is broadened into a consideration of the differences between the Italian and English psyche; the philosophical passages are read in the light of revisions made to the periodical version. Chapters III and IV, on The Rainbow and Women in Love, conscious of the critique of English society that Lawrence made in Twilight, recognise that although Lawrence is concerned to show the flow of individual being he is no less interested in the relationship between the self and society, and the clash between psychological needs and social structures like work, marriage and industrialisation. Chapter V, on Sea and Sardinia, examines Lawrence's realisation that the state of travel engages with the present and impacts on individual needs and identity. Chapter VI, on Mornings in Mexico, studies the way Lawrence transcended the journalism usual to the travel genre and maintained a deep spirituality as he pondered the attributes of a primitive society and its appropriateness to Western Society. Because travel writing is both reactive and subjective (a writer's reaction to a country is underpinned by the metatext of his own concerns), I ask if Lawrence's presentation of experience can be thought of as accurate or whether places and people are constructs of his imagination. Chapter VIII examines Lady Chatterley's Lover as Lawrence's attempt to bring together the attitudes to sex, class and education witnessed on his travels with an English setting; to envisage a way of living that would meet the deep-rooted needs of man. Chapter VIII, on Etruscan Places, shows Lawrence conscious of encountering the ultimate journey, death, and pays tribute to the fact that while the book searches for philosophical answers on how to die, it is at the same time a paean to life and the beauty of landscape.

Abstract:
L'historien allemand Oswald Spengler (1880-1936), auteur du 'Déclin de l'Occident' (1918-1922) et l'écrivain anglais D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930) étaient contemporains. Ils partageaient de nombreuses influences communes, notamment Héraclite, dont il ne subsiste que quelques 'Fragments', Joachim de Flore, auteur de 'L'Evangile éternel', Friedrich Nietzsche et Leo Frobenius qui devaient créer une communauté de pensée importante. Tous deux, comme toute la génération des auteurs modernistes, perçurent l'éclatement de la première guerre mondiale comme l'acmé d'un processus de décadence généralisée. Cet événement apocalyptique joua un rôle fondamental dans la vie et dans la production de D. H. Lawrence : la présence de ce thème dans son oeuvre, selon les genres et les périodes d'écriture, est obsessionnelle. La guerre qui sévit au niveau macrocosmique se reflète au niveau microcosmique dans les rapports entre les personnages, surtout dans 'The Rainbow' (1915) et dans 'Women in Love' (1920). D. H. Lawrence et Oswald Spengler,héritiers de Nietzsche, condamnèrent ce qui pour eux apparaissait comme les formes du déclin généralisé : l'idéal démocratique auquel ils préférèrent un régime autoritaire, l'idéal chrétien, l'omniprésence de l'argent et la société industrielle, vecteur d'aliénation de l'homme qui perd le contact avec l'univers pour se mécaniser, à l'image de la machine dont il est devenu l'esclave. Leur vision de l'histoire, marquée par l'omnipotence du destin, est essentiellement tragique : opposés à une perspective linéaire, et donc au mythe du progrès et du darwinisme, ils préférèrent un déroulement cyclique et favorisent la palingénésie. Le sentiment que la fin est proche hante leurs oeuvres

Abstract:
Cette these analyse l'interdit dans les romans de d. H. Lawrence. La premiere partie est consacree a l'etude de la violence envers les animaux, puis, plus longuement, envers humains, au niveau moral puis au niveau physique, cette agressivite pouvant meme aller jusqu'au meurtre. Le deuxieme chapitre presente le theme de l'amour libre, avec le probleme du scandale, la tentation de s'aimer physiquement sans etre marie, et l'interdit transgresse qui mene soit a l'echec soit a l'epanouissement, selon les personnages. Le troisieme chapitre etudie l'adultere, theme present dans tous les romans de l'auteur. Comme pour l'amour libre, la tentation est forte et souvent rejetee, et, lorsque l'on y cede, le resultat en est la frustration ou l'accomplissement. Le quatrieme chapitre expose les relations incestueuses : l'amour fraternel excessif, les liens trop etroits entre colateraux, l'amour demesure entre pere et fille, puis, plus en detail, les relations oedipiennes, avec leurs consequences sur le couple. Le cinquieme et dernier chapitre s'interesse aux relations homosexuelles, d'abord entre femmes, de maniere vecue ou latente, puis entre hommes ou l'homosexualite n'est jamais evidente, mais souvent fortement suggeree. Dans cette partie, nous essayons de voir pourquoi certains ont pense que lawrence etait homosexuel, avant d'expliquer sa theorie de l'amour entre hommes et son ideal androgyne
This thesis analyses the forbidden universe of d. H. Lawrence's novels. The first part deals with the study of violence towards animals, then, more thoroughly, towards human beings, morally then physically ; this aggressiveness can even go as far as murder. The second chapter introduces the theme of free love, with the problem of scandal, the temptation of physical love outside marriage, and the transgression of this forbidden behaviour which leads either to failure or to fulfilment, depending on the characters. The third chapter studies adultery, a theme which appears in all the author's novels. As in the case of free love, there is a strong temptation which is often rejected, and when somebody gives in, the result is either frustration or accomplishment. The fourth chapter exposes the incestuous relationships : excessive fraternal love, too much closeness between relatives and between father and daughter, then, in more details, the oedipean relationships, with their consequences on the couples. The fifth and last chapter is about the homosexual relationships, first between women, latently or otherwise, then between the mean whose homosexuality is never obvious, but often strongly suggested. In this part, we examine why some people thought that lawrence was homosexual, leading us to his theory of love between men, and his androgynous ideal

Abstract:
Le corps humain, chez D. H. Lawrence, porte les symptômes d’une tension entre la nécessité historique (ce terme renvoyant ici à l’histoire humaine mais aussi naturelle), qui lui inflige des mutations souvent monstrueuses, et la foi en son propre sens immuable et inaliénable. Si les premiers romans de Lawrence sont une douloureuse prise de conscience des forces de la matière et de l’évolution, The Rainbow et Women in Love, plutôt que de tenter d’y résister, les transfigurent par l’art, le mythe, et l’inspiration mystique. Les romans d’après-guerre, eux, y opposent les armes de la satire, mais aussi du diagnostic et de l’expédient thérapeutique. Kangaroo et The Plumed Serpent prolongent cette exploration anatomique par un projet politique de réactivation du mystère du corps qui se mue bientôt en cruauté. Au fil des romans semble s’être installée une latence apocalyptique où désordre pathologique et mutation mystique coexistent et, parfois, se confondent dans les mêmes formes inattendues
The human body, in D. H. Lawrence’s novels, bears the symptoms of a tension between historical necessity (by which is meant human as well as natural history), responsible for its sometimes monstrous mutations, and faith in its own immutable and inalienable structure and meaning. If Lawrence’s first novels show a painful awareness of the forces of matter and of evolution, The Rainbow and Women in Love, rather than attempting to resist those forces, transfigure them through art, myth and mystical inspiration. By contrast, the post-war novels counter history with satire, but also by means of diagnostic and therapeutic discourse. Kangaroo and The Plumed Serpent bring this anatomical exploration onto the political ground, seeking to re-activate the body’s mystery in the community, at the cost of cruelty. Novel after novel, there seems to have settled an apocalyptic suspense, where pathological disorder and mystical mutation coexist and—sometimes jointly—produce unexpected new forms

Abstract:
Critics continue to debate Lawrence's attitude toward women: Some say Lawrence is a misogynist, some say he is an egalitarian, and others say he is ambivalent toward women. If Lawrence's works are divided into two chronological periods, before and after 1918, these differences of opinions begin to dissolve. Lawrence is fair in his treatment of women in the earlier works; however, in his later works Lawrence restricts women to what he calls the sensual realm, the realm of feelings and emotions. In addition, Lawrence denounces all women who assert individuality and self-responsibility. In the later works, Lawrence's ideology restricts the role of women and presents male supremacy as the natural and necessary order for human existence.

Abstract:
Prenant appui sur les nombreuses résonances bibliques relevées dans Aaron’s Rod (1922), Kangaroo (1923) et The Plumed Serpent (1926), cette étude montre comment la réflexion politique de David Herbert Lawrence trouve son expression dans le travestissement de l’hypotexte biblique. Si Lawrence rappelle Nietzsche dans son rapport à la Bible, il aboutit néanmoins, au moyen d’une appropriation des rites religieux et des textes sacrés à une définition du politique qui a pour but de situer l’homme dans le cosmos. Il s’interroge sur le rôle politique de l’homme au sein d’une communauté qui se traduit dans des relations de pouvoir et de soumission. Encore traumatisé par son expérience de la guerre, Lawrence met en scène des personnages qui, déçus comme lui, rejettent leur pays d’origine et se mettent en quête d’une expression politique nouvelle. Ils remettent en cause leur relation à Dieu, à la patrie et à leur conjoint, le dialogisme de l’intertextualité donnant voix à leurs interrogations. C’est dans l’exil que leur distanciation par rapport au pouvoir du Verbe, qui figure le pouvoir politique de l’Europe, se confirme, le degré de travestissement de l’hypotexte biblique en étant l’expression dans la trame narrative. Confrontés enfin à des idéologies telles que le fascisme et le marxisme, les personnages exprimeront leur position dans l’intertextualité tissée avec la Bible. Les solutions politiques préconisées par Lawrence trouvent alors leur expression dans une écriture hautement symbolique à caractère apocalyptique. Aaron’s Rod, Kangaroo et The Plumed Serpent peuvent donc figurer comme essais politiques dans l’œuvre prolifique de cet auteur moderne
This study, based on the numerous Bible references found in Aaron’s Rod (1922), Kangaroo (1923) and The Plumed Serpent (1926), shows how the constant borrowings from Bible sources voice David Herbert Lawrence’s political thought. In many ways, Lawrence’s relation to the Bible recalls Nietzsche’s, however his appropriation of religious rites and sacred texts leads to a new definition of the political which aims at positioning man in the cosmos. The author questions the political role of man in a community in terms of power and submission. Still under the trauma of his war experience, Lawrence introduces characters who, mirroring his own despair, reject their native country and leave in search of a new political voice. They question their relation to God, to homeland and to marital bonds. Intertextual dialogism voices their doubts. In exile, their distancing from the power of the Word, which represents European political power, increases, as does the amount of transformation the biblical text undergoes. Eventually confronted with ideologies such as Fascism and Marxism, the characters state their opinions by weaving intertextual links with the Bible. Thus, Lawrence’s political answers are expressed in highly symbolical writing, which becomes apocalyptic. Therefore Aaron’s Rod, Kangaroo and The Plumed Serpent can stand as political essays in the prolific work of this modern author

Abstract:
Cette these se propose d'etudier l'inscription litteraire du mythe - oiseau fabuleux qui meurt dans le feu et renait de ses cendres -, dans l'imaginaire de l'ecrivain britannique david herbert lawrence. Elle analyse d'abord le mythe dans une perspective emblematique et symbolique ; puis aborde, dans un deuxieme temps, l'aspect apocalyptique et prophetique de l'oeuvre du romancier (rejet du monde occidental, tentative de reconstruction utopique) ; et se concentre enfin sur les developpements alchimiques du mythe legendaire (rites de passage initiatiques, reintegration cosmique, illumination amoureuse) - le phenix etant, dans la tradition esoterique, l'aboutissement du grand oeuvre. Place sous l'eclairage mythique de l'oiseau de feu, l'univers lawrencien apparait en fait, comme la mise en forme artistique d'une pensee fortement mystique, comme un effort transcendant pour depasser les limites spatio-temporelles de l'humain, a travers l'angelisme et l'androgynie, et atteindre au divin
This is a study of the phoenix myth - the fabulous fire-bird that dies in flames and is born again from its own ashes -, in the imaginary world of the british writer david herbert lawrence. It first deals with the analysis of the myth from an emblematic and symbolic viewpoint ; it then concentrates, in a second part, on the apocalyptic and prophetic aspect of the writer's work (rejection of the western world, utopian reconstruction) ; lastly it focuses on the esoteric developments of the fabulous myth (rites of passage, cosmic oneness, erotic transmutation) - the phoenix being considered as the crowning of the alchemical quest, the philosopher's stone. In this mythical light, d. H. Lawrence's imaginary world appears as an artistic illustration of a highly mystical mode of thought, an effort to transcend humanity, through angelicism and androgyny, and achieve divinity

Abstract:
Les romans de lawrence sont les etapes d'une quete de completude. Cette quete vise a redefinir l'etre et le genre romanesque. Selon lui, l'avenir de l'homme, tout comme le sort du heros, depend de son respect de la loi naturelle qui regit son etre, non par opposition aux lois humaines mais a la fois avec et contre notre civilisation. De sons and lovers a women in love, lawrence envisage l'avenir de l'homme dans le contexte social et historique de l'europe. Mais la grande guerre el la censure le convaincquent que son voyage "interieur" seul n'est pas la solution. Alors il parcourt le monde. Ses romans de l'apres-guerre s'inspirent tous du mythe americain de regeneration tel qu'il l'a observe chez fenimore cooper, hawthorne et melville. Ils ne traduisent pas une rupture. Au contraire, ils concluent une quete ou la completude est finalement celle du couple et son dernier roman un melange unique des genres europeens et americains
Lawrence's novels are landmarks on a quest for completeness. This quest aims at redefining being and the novelistic genre. According to him, the future of man, like the fate of the hero, depends on his respect of the natural law which rules over his being, not as opposed to human laws but both with and against our civilisation. From sons and lovers to women in love, lawrence viewed the future of the novel within european tradition and the future of man within social and historical europe. But the great war and censorship convinced him that his "inner" voyage alone was no solution. So lawrence travelled over the world. His post-war novels are all inspired by the american myth of regeneration as the found it in the works of cooper, hawthorne and melville. They do not express a break in his work. On the contrary, they conclude a quest where completeness is finally that of the couple and his last novel constitutes an outstanding union of the american and the european genres

Abstract:
Lawrence's work has almost invevitably been read as an aesthetic production whereby one must eventually agree or disagree with his vision of "reality". Those who assume a formalist standard of taste often find that Lawrence "loses control" of his material; those who offer ideological apologies for his work argue that disruptions in the aesthetic plane are representative of an exploratory genius, often seen as the outstanding characteristic of literary modernism. Both approaches, explicitly or otherwise , rely on the ultimate sanction of the achieved image, transmuted by the author always in control of his material. Yet anyone who reads Lawrence with an eye to to what the "tale" says in addition to what the "teller" claims discovers that Lawrence is not in full control of his material, thought it cannot simply be argued, on aesthetic or linguistic criteria, that he is out of control. Rather, there exists a "third" state whereby Lawrence both writes and is written, gives us a message with one hand, yet retracts, as it were, with the other. Because this double-move is preeminently suited to the language of fiction, and because it appears in Lawrence's fiction with the greatest versatility and incisiveness, this dissertation analyzes six of his novels for their rhetorical significance, understood as both an organization of tropes and figures and as a system of persuasive doctrine. A new definition for allegory is proposed, the introductions of thematic and structural "blanks" is examined, and a spread of narrative delays are identified and discussed, all concerned with the central problem of writing novels that direct themselves to the resurrection of a pre-linguistic universe, yet ironically depend more and more upon writing to bring this about. Ideas drawn from Continental philosophy and recent critical theory are incorporated for support and instruction. Attention is also focused on Lawrence's revision processes, often with specific emphasis on unpublished manuscript material.

Abstract:
Cette thèse, conçue comme un voyage à travers l’œuvre de D. H. Lawrence, se propose de montrer la place des années « mexicaines » (celles passées au Nouveau-Mexique et au Mexique entre septembre 1922 et septembre 1925) dans le parcours de création de l’écrivain. En effet, les voyages et la dynamique de la quête informent la production artistique de Lawrence, qui, toute sa vie, n’a cessé de chercher le territoire idéal où une humanité régénérée pourrait, en contact avec le cosmos, échapper aux maux de l’ère industrielle et retrouver une relation authentique à l’autre. L’étape mexicaine a été particulièrement importante dans le parcours de sa pensée et de son écriture. Les civilisations indiennes d’Amérique, qui ont un autre mode de vie, une autre conception du temps et du rapport à la communauté et au divin, fascinent le créateur. Les rencontres et les expériences inédites de Lawrence en terres mexicaines stimulent son imagination et suscitent la production de nombreux textes, souvent déroutants. Pour en montrer l’originalité et la pertinence, ce travail les met en regard de trois autres types de sources : le reste de l’œuvre lawrencienne, antérieure et postérieure à la période mexicaine, les textes d’autres écrivains britanniques qui ont voyagé au Mexique, et les écrits d’auteurs mexicains. Grâce aux multiples voix et devenirs-autre qu’ils laissent s’exprimer, grâce aux diverses interprétations qu’ils permettent, les textes lawrenciens nous font voyager, au-delà des terres mexicaines, vers un autre univers, celui de tous les possibles, qui n’a de frontières que celles, ouvertes et mouvantes, de la création, voyage artistique et spirituel
This dissertation has been conceived as a way of travelling throughout D. H. Lawrence’s works and it tries to demonstrate the importance of the “Mexican” years (those spent in New Mexico and Mexico between September 1922 and September 1925) in the process of their creation. Indeed, Lawrence’s writings were shaped by the dynamics of his quest and his travelling around the world. All his life, he has been looking for the ideal place where regenerated human beings, in contact with the cosmos, could escape from the evils of the industrial age and rediscover an authentic relationship with the other. The Mexican period played a significant part in the evolution of Lawrence’s thinking and writing. Indians civilisations in America favour another way of life, another conception of time and of the relationship with the community and the divine, all of which fascinated the artist. The people he met and the things he experienced in Mexican lands stimulated his imagination and inspired many rather disconcerting texts. In order to show how original and relevant they are, this study compares them with three types of sources: the rest of Lawrence’s work – before and after the Mexican years –, other texts by British writers who also travelled to Mexico, and books by Mexican authors. Lawrence’s writing, which leaves a space to the expression of otherness and allows various interpretations, has the readers eventually travel further than the Mexican lands. It brings them towards another world where everything is possible, since its only borders are the shifting, open lines of creation – an artistic and spiritual journey

Resumo: O estudo da cosmovisão de Hughes, inspirada em Lawrence e remontando a Bergson, abre novas perspectivas não exploradas pelos críticos, evidenciando aspectos inéditos em sua poesia. Da mesma maneira que Lawrence, Hughes procura ir alem das aparências exteriores, revelando o próprio processo vital, que e captado somente em raros momentos de percepção intuitiva. 0 objetivo principal de sua poesia e salientar como real idades 'outras ' as criaturas do mundo rião-humano, destacando-as como receptáculos da poderosa força vital existente no uni verso. Insiste em celebrar a vitalidade dos pássaros, animais e plantas, porque considera o homem demasiadamente auto matizado,fato que o impede de viver. Os indícios de degeneração que vê no homem moderno, Hughes os atribui a excessiva mecanização, que reduziu o homem a um autômato, interrompendo o contacto vital com as outras criaturas vivas. Estas ideias, que Lawrence expõe nas obras em prosa, i .e., ensaios, cartas, relatos de viagens, especulações filosóficas, romances e contos são retomadas por Hughes em sua poesia, constituindo não apenas a principal fonte de inspiração, como também a base de sua visão do mundo. Na primeira parte desta dissertação e colocada em relevo a filosofia de Bergson, que foi assimiladas reinterpretada por Lawrence e Hughes, servindo de fundamentação metafísica para a obra de ambos. Na segunda parte traçamos o paralelo existente entre o simbolismo animal de ambos os autores, demonstrando que as metáforas animais de Lawrence, que representam forças instintivas e intuitivas, estão também aparentes em Hughes, evidenciando sua habi1 idade em dar nova forma ao material em que se inspirou, bem como provando que maior compreensão do pensamento de Lawrence possibilita novos enfoques na poemática de Hughes.

Abstract:
D. H. Lawrence a été reconnu dès sa jeunesse comme un poète prometteur et un romancier exceptionnel. Il n’en a pas été de même de ses talents de penseur Comme il s’en plaint dans une lettre, à propos de l’avis de Lady Ottoline et Bertrand Russell sur ses idées : « They say I cannot think ». Pourtant Lawrence manifeste, très tôt, un goût pour la réflexion théorique, rédige de nombreux essais et inclut dans ses textes de fiction de longs passages spéculatifs. Qu’en est-il alors du penseur Lawrence ? Peut-on trouver, dans les « faiblesses » supposées de sa pensée, des questions à adresser aux discours philosophiques les plus légitimes ? Et si cette pensée, qui frôle l’espace philosophique tout en refusant scrupuleusement d’en être (Lawrence parle tout au plus de sa « philosophie », entre guillemets, ou de sa « pseudo-philosophie), permettait de mettre la pensée philosophique en question, dans certaines de ses évidences les plus inconscientes ? Est-ce que les discours philosophiques, si vigoureusement attachés à interroger, ne sont pas incapables de poser certaines questions concernant la pensée, si bien qu’il faudrait un passage par la « littérature » pour parvenir à les imaginer ? De ces voies transversales que la littérature permet de tracer en direction des discours philosophiques, nous retenons particulièrement trois choses : 1. Le rôle des processus émotionnels dans la pensée ; 2. L’importance de la « fonction poétique » du langage pour la pensée ; 3. La pluralisation de l’énonciation, rendue possible par des constructions énonciatives originales
From his early youth D. H. Lawrence was recognized as an outstanding writer. This was not however the case for his authority as a thinker. As he complains in a letter about Lady Ottoline and Bertrand Russell: "They say I cannot think". Lawrence did however demonstrate, from the beginning of his career as a writer, a taste for theoretical reflection. He was to write numerous essays and would insert long speculative passages into his fictional texts. How therefore are we to assess Lawrence as thinker? Can we find, in the supposed “weaknesses" of his thought, questions to be addressed to the canonical discourses of the philosophical order? Could it be the case that Lawrence’s thought, which borders on the territory of philosophy, even as the writer scrupulously refuses to be counted as a philosopher (in referring to his "philosophy", Lawrence resorts to deprecatory quotation marks or refers to “this pseudo-philosophy of mine”), might offer a perspective from which to question philosophy in its most ingrained evidence? Or indeed that philosophical discourse, so vigorously committed to the pursuit of questioning, might in its turn be incapable of asking certain questions concerning the procedures of thinking? The implication being that only the recourse to a more indirect path, by way of "literature", might enable us to ask certain decisive questions? The gain resulting from our venturing onto these byways, in our approach to the order of philosophical discourse, can be enumerated in terms of the three following guidelines: 1. The role of emotional processes in thought; 2. The importance of the “poetic function” of language for thought; 3. The pluralization of enunciation, made possible by the surprise of the enunciative constructions specific to literature or to the poetic

Abstract:
This thesis is an examination of sex in D. H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover and Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness as it relates to the social, linguistic and political elements of literary modernism. Both novels "think sex," allowing specific concepts of sex to act as methods of communication between artists and readers. By writing sex, Hall and Lawrence address the modern reader, providing a script for ideal readerly and writerly approaches to the novel. The first chapter examines contemporary cultural and gender theory's understanding of the relationship between sex and discourse and relates this to political and literary considerations of modernism. The second chapter looks at psychosexual medical texts that influenced modernism's understanding of sex and art; the final chapter examines "thinking sex" in Lady Chatterley's Lover and The Well of Loneliness by examining the content and reception of both works.

Full text
Abstract:
How is Bakhtin's conception of novelistic openness distinct from modernist-dialectical irresolution or open-endedness? Is Women in Love a Bakhtinian "open totality"? How is dialogic openness (as opposed to modernist indeterminacy) a "form-shaping ideology" of comic interrogation?
This study tests whether dialogism illuminates the shape of openness in Lawrence. As philosophers of potentiality, both Bakhtin and Lawrence explore the dialogic "between" as a state of being and a condition of meaningful fiction. Dialogism informs Women in Love. It achieves a polyphonic openness which Lawrence in his later fictions cannot sustain. Subsequently, univocal, simplifying organizations supervene. Dialogic process collapses into a stenographic report upon a completed dialogue, over which the travel writer, the poet or the messianic martyr preside.
Nevertheless, the old openness can be discerned in the ambivalent laughter of The Captain's Doll, St. Mawr or "The Man Who Loved Islands." In these retrospective variations on earlier themes, laughing openness of vision takes new, "unfinalizable" shapes.

Ces recherches doctorales démontrent comment l’aporie et ses voix/voies plurielles minent l’œuvre Lawrencienne: romans, essais, poèmes ou encore tableaux. Malgré le désir du lecteur de donner une voix/voie singulière – ou interprétation – à l’œuvre de D. H. Lawrence, seule une herméneutique et une vérité plurielle viennent à notre rencontre, nous laissant ainsi soumis à une impasse insurmontable. Tout au long de ce chemin doctoral, nul n’est à l’abri des culs de sacs et des trébuchements. Ainsi, une aporie génétique tisse le tissu textuel des premières ébauches de D. H. Lawrence, et la souveraineté logocentrique et herméneutique de l’homme est renversée. La rature s’impose et l’œuvre de D. H. Lawrence nous rappelle que le logos, et l’Être, résistent, pour mieux inscrire l’aporie dans son corpus. Les limites du langage, de la religion, du savoir, et de la représentation artistique de la réalité résonne désormais avec une question qui demeure sans réponse et en suspens
This work of research aims at showing how aporia and its plural voices pervade D.H Lawrence’s work, be it through his novels, his essays, his poetry, or his paintings. Despite the reader’s desire to give one singular voice and meaning to D.H Lawrence’s work, plural meanings and multiples truths come our way, leaving us facing an uncrossable impasse. The road is paved with deadlocks and places to stumble upon. Indeed, genetic aporia weaves the very fabric of D.H. Lawrence’s first drafts and sketches, and the logocentric and hermeneutic sovereignty of man is put into question. In fact, we have to cross it out as Lawrence’s work reminds us that the logos, and Being, show some resistance, the result of which is to better inscribe aporia into his corpus. The limits of language, of religion, of knowledge, and of the artistic representation of reality resonate now with an everlasting and unanswered question

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation studies certain similarities between some early Bildungsroman of D. H. Lawrence and André Gide. In Lawrence's Sons and Lovers and The Rainbow, and Gide's L'lmmoraliste and La Porte étroite, the authors explore the destructive effects of cultural "Icons", narrowly codified gender roles, upon sensitive young European women at the turn of the century. Through an intricate subtext of allusive imagery, postures, language, and "mythical" patterns, Lawrence and Gide imply that a patristic Christianity had somehow enlisted certain strains of Romance to fashion a pervasive cultural code that encouraged young women to be virginal, passive, and receptive to suffering. The young female protagonists look to their roles as Madonna, Maiden, and Martyr as an escape from a provincial world that offers little to their "over brimming" souls. Ironically, it is their Knight-Christs, the "mentors" who propose to teach them about the higher world, who imprison them further. Pretending to elevate them to the status of Spiritual Muse to inspire the male quest for selfhood, the lovers demand of their Madonna-Maidens a passivity whereby suffering is their only "heroic" act. Male-sculpted models of femininity, then, make it impossible for young women to pursue their own quests for the authentic "self". The final tragedy for the young women comes when their opposite numbers awaken from Romance's pregenital spring to what Lawrence calls "blood-consciousness". The Maidens' Knight-Christs now find restrictive their spiritual lovers and desire instead the initiation into the "flesh" preached by a new cultural code, that of Nietzsche et al. Lawrence's and Gide's young female characters, then, serve as exemplars of an entire generation of young women destroyed in this teleological shift to a new cultural ethos, one in which, suddenly, their "virtues" are judged vices, all they had been presented to them as "natural" is deemed "unnatural".

Full text
Abstract:
S’inspirant des théories de « dégénérescence » avancées par Nordau et Spengler à la fin du XIXe et au début du XXe siècle, Lawrence pose l’hypothèse d’un déclin physique et moral des individus et des formes sociales collectives en Europe. Il se met donc en quête, à travers le voyage et sa narration, de possibilités de « régénération » que pourraient offrir les lieux et les cultures extra-européens. Ce faisant, il analyse la confrontation entre ses personnages voyageurs européens et l’altérité culturelle qu’ils découvrent, une altérité portée à la fois par les individus étrangers et les sociétés auxquelles ils appartiennent, les lieux et les forces sacrées qui peuplent ces derniers. Lawrence postule que la régénération, ou réanimation, du sujet européen dépend de la capacité du voyageur à se laisser altérer par la puissance étrangère. Chaque œuvre examine ainsi le processus d’altération que subit le sujet européen et qui dépend de divers facteurs, tels que la relation à la patrie, la finalité poursuivie à travers le voyage, la condition sociale, l’éducation, et le genre.L’œuvre lawrencienne s’intéresse en effet majoritairement à la réanimation du sujet féminin et la plupart de ses personnages voyageurs sont des voyageuses non-accompagnées, un choix singulier pour l’époque. Pourtant, Lawrence n’envisage pas d’auto-émancipation du sujet féminin, car sa réanimation n’est possible que grâce à la rencontre érotique avec un autre masculin, porteur d’un monde étranger.Lawrence expérimente toutefois avec diverses formes de régénération, individuelle et collective, politique et spirituelle, susceptibles de contribuer au renouveau de la civilisation occidentale
Drawing on Nordau and Spengler’s theories of “degeneration” in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Lawrence posits the idea of a physical and moral decline of both individuals and collective social forms in Europe. He therefore sets out, through his personal travels and travel narratives, on a quest for the “regenerative” possibilities which he believes non-European places and cultures may have to offer.His travel writings examine the encounter between his European characters and the cultural otherness they experience abroad in the form of foreign individuals and societies, places and the sacred powers that inhabit those places. Lawrence postulates that the “regeneration” or revitalisation of the European subject is determined by the traveller’s ability to let himself or herself be altered by the power of otherness. Each of his works thus analyses the process of alteration undergone by the European subject, which is affected by various factors such as the latter’s relationship to the home country and the end sought through travel, his social status, education and gender.Lawrence’s works are primarily concerned with the revitalisation of the female subject and most of his travelling characters are in fact unaccompanied female travellers – an uncommon choice at the time. Yet Lawrence does not contemplate the possibility of the female subject’s self-emancipation since her revitalisation can only be brought about by the erotic encounter with a male other endowed with the power of otherness.Lawrence nonetheless experiments with several types of regeneration – individual and collective, political and spiritual – which may contribute to the renewal of western civilisation

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is an examination of how the themes of adultery and regeneration are interwoven and explored by selected English novelists in the first half of the twentieth century. It is essential to establish that Ford, Lawrence, Waugh and Greene do not adhere to the ‘archetypal' pattern of the adultery novel established in the nineteenth century and, in fact, turn that pattern on its head. Ford's The Good Soldier and Parade's End provide two differing perspectives. The first uses adultery as a metaphor for the disintegration of English society, mirroring the social disintegration that accompanied the First World War; Parade's End, however, presents an adulterous relationship as being a regenerative force in the post-war society. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover also uses an adulterous relationship as a means of addressing the need for social, and national, regeneration in the inter-war years. Waugh's A Handful of Dust presents a woman's adultery as the ruin of not only a good man, but also civilisation in general; Brideshead Revisited is more religious in tone and traces the spiritual regeneration of its central character, whose conversion, ironically, is made possible through his adulterous relationship. Similarly, Greene's The Heart of the Matter and The End of the Affair portray the process of spiritual regeneration; in both novels this movement towards salvation is intertwined with an exploration of adulterous love. The ultimate question probed in this thesis is how the twentieth century novel of adultery overturns the traditional literary approach to the subject. Adulterous unions and illegitimate children are no longer presented as being exclusively socially destabilising or subversive in these novels; most intriguingly significant is that, in some of these novels, the illegitimate child becomes a symbol of hope, and, indeed, of regeneration.

Full text
Abstract:
Chez D. H. Lawrence, le non-humain correspond à la fois à une forme de vitalité primordiale et aux créatures végétales et animales que cette vitalité anime bien davantage que les hommes, étouffés par une civilisation moderne qui les rend inertes. Le non-humain apparaît comme le dépositaire d‘une présence pure, existant avant ou hors de la culture. Lawrence est donc confronté à la difficulté de représenter cette présence pure par un moyen intrinsèquement « humain », le langage poétique. Il ne se pose alors pas simplement en anti-humaniste : son écriture poétique du non-humain procède d‘un conflit permanent entre la volonté de se libérer du carcan humain et la nécessité de demeurer dans la sphère humaine, voire de réinstaurer la limite entre humain et non-humain. Ce conflit s‘exprime déjà dans le non-humain comme simple matière vivante, sous la forme d‘une tension entre une conception de la matière comme pure présence extérieure à tout discours humain et une vision de la matière comme objet scientifique par excellence. Dans l‘évocation des créatures, le conflit incite Lawrence à réinventer spécifiquement pour elles des rapports au monde (émotions, perception, agentivité) qui leur permettent de préserver leur présence. Dans le rapport de Lawrence aux créatures non-humaines, le conflit demeure car Lawrence remet en question la limite qui le sépare du non-humain mais la réaffirme également. Enfin, la dialectique entre la volonté de saisir la présence du non-humain et la crainte de l‘abstraire complètement en l‘incluant dans le langage semble particulièrement présente dans ce que nous tentons de définir comme un langage poétique propre au non-humain, au-delà de sa simple utilisation chez Lawrence
In D. H. Lawrence‘s poetry, the non-human is both a form of primordial vitality and the living world of non-human creatures. Non-human creatures are seen as more able to embody this vitality than modern men, stifled by their civilization. The non-human stands outside the sphere of culture, and its mode of existence is consequently an untouched, pure form of presence. Therefore, Lawrence faces the difficulty of representing this pure presence through an inherently ―human‖ means, poetic language. However, his stance is not entirely anti-humanist: his poetic writing of the non-human is founded on an unceasing conflict between the will to break free from the constraints of humanity and the necessity to remain within a human sphere, and even to reinstate the limit between human and non-human. In the representation of the non-human as mere living matter, this conflict is already manifest, taking the shape of a tension between matter as existing completely outside human discourse, and matter as a scientific object par excellence. When Lawrence evokes the creatures, this conflict brings about a reconfiguration of specific non-human modes of being in the world (emotions, perception, agency), which allow the creatures to interact with each other without diminishing or abstracting their presence. In the poet‘s own relationship with the non-human creatures, the conflict appears again as Lawrence questions the limit between human and non-human while reinstating it. At last, the dialectic between a will to capture non-human presence and the fear of abstracting it when including it within the sphere of language seems particularly present in what we have attempted to establish as a poetic language specific to the representation of the non-human, in Lawrence and other poets

Full text
Abstract:
The English literary imagination has been nourished on the experience and idea of Italy for centuries, at least since Chaucer's Italian visits in 1372 and 1378. A combination of survey, critical analysis and theory, the thesis examines the idea of Italy and the Italians in fiction in English from Henry James to the present. The thesis provides an inclusive account of literary themes and motifs about Italy and the Italians in the modern English novel, defining the modem tradition of fiction about Italy established by James, E.M. Forster and D.H. Lawrence, and describing the continuities and discontinuities which extend to postmodern, international fiction in English about Italy and Italians. No single theoretical model is employed. An eclectic approach is favoured in order to draw together cultural history, literary history, discourse analysis, literary criticism and biography. In addition, the aim has been to recapture and examine the sense of flux and the idea of self­realisation through art which characterise the Italianate impulse in past and present English fiction. In terms of method and focus, the thesis converses with ideas about Italy and the Italians, literary tradition, recent theories about the representation of place, and the notion of Italy as a favoured site for the development of literary identity and style. An introduction traces the early development of the Italian image and establishes themes which appear in the succeeding chapters: otherness􀀜 cultural and self identity; the 'gaze'; 'seeing' as a metaphor for self-knowledge; the importance of place in the formation of identity; and the connections between artistic representation and place. The second chapter, on Henry James, defines some of the main terms of the recent tradition, including the relationship between Italy and the act of imaginative creation. The James chapter examines the influence of Romanticism on his Italian work; the 'Italian' contradictions in his fiction; and his search, expressed in traditional Italianate tropes, for a transcending equilibrium. James's Italian tales are given equal consideration with the novels, and both are discussed in relation to the travel essays collected as Italian Hours. The third chapter, on E.M. Forster, focuses on the conflict between chaos and order in Forster's Italian fiction, and his concern with further perennial 'Italian' themes, including paganism, the Edenic myth, and the importance of art in self-becoming. The Italian motifs in Forster's stories are compared with those in his Italian novels Where Angels Fear to Tread and A Room with a View. A shorter chapter on D.H. Lawrence outlines his problematic place in the tradition. The final section deals with Italianate postmodernism. A lengthy introduction raises general issues and is followed by closer readings of texts which demonstrate the relevance of 'Italy' to postmodern writing in English. The English, American and Australian authors chosen for closer comment include Robert Coover, Robert Dessaix, Michael Dibdin, Ian McEwan, Michele Roberts, William Trevor and Jeanette Winterson. The final section illustrates the continuity of the image of Italy, especially the way its reputation as artifice lends itself to elaborate, postmodern metafiction.
