The Aesthetics and Short Prose of D. H. Lawrence: Language, Knowledge and The Self

Language:
expressing the inexpressible, pre-social/pre-language way of communication, instinctive forms of knowing without telling
Wittgenstein’s web (struggling to stretch Wittgenstein’s web – Grmelová)
speech functioning/gaining meaning in relation to a future revelatory moment (Heidegger) – death (collier stories) revisiting of an emotionally imbued place (Rose Garden, Shades of Spring) viz. 3
Knowledge:
quest for personal truth (Grmelová)
destruction/construction of mental constructs
unconscious knowledge, instinct, “primitive” (in opposition to modern/technical) as a redemptive – self stabilizing force (Lawrence X Freud X Jung)
knowledge of the self, constitution of the self via language, unconscious is structured as language (Lacan)
epiphany, a revelation of new or forgotten meaning and new and/or until now hidden forms of knowledge viz. 1
The Self:
“Not the work I shall produce but the real me I shall achieve” .
knowledge/act of revealing knowledge as a factor of completion of the self, even at the cost of death…(foolish mortality)
knowledge in absence - need for heterotopias, heterochronias (Foucault)
unstable self – destruction of the concept of the stable and rational self,
focus on personal, individual – favoured to general, ideal, personal language
loss of the self, organicism – self merging into the universe, merging into other character/ spellbound self (White stocking dance scene)
the main dynamism of the stories is constituted by exactly these motives: conflicts on the level of language, knowledge and struggles for the preservation of the authentic self.
