Singular Universality: D. H. Lawrence and Marxism
후히토 엔도 한국로렌스학회 2012 D.H. 로렌스 연구 Vol.20 No.1
Given the still frequent and persistent ideological critiques of D. H. Lawrence, it is crucially important to foreground the emancipatory potentialities of this novelist’s language, which have often escaped (or rather been suppressed by) this kind of critical commonplaces. The objective of this article is to throw clear light on such possibilities of Lawrence’s aesthetics with particular reference to Raymond Williams’s brilliant and powerful reinterpretation of this writer. My argument—in so doing—at the same time intends to give due critical evaluation to Williams, a rather underrated Marxist whose theory has frequently been regarded as ‘out of date’ in comparison to ‘Continental’ post/structuralist Marxism and whose famous conception ‘the whole way of life’ has accordingly been said to connote some reactionary ideology such as ‘organicist aesthetics.’ Quite ironical is the fact that Williams’s interpretation of D. H. Lawrence clearly and strongly re-presents his early novels and stories as radically subversive of this kind of aesthetic organicism, a typical example of which can be found in the Leavisian romanticisation of pre-modern England as ‘organic unity.’ Williams’s reading powerfully brings to the fore the political possibilities of Lawrence’s politics/aesthetics in such a way as connects their—both Lawrence’s and William’s—language to one of the most radical and ‘updated’ Marxist critical theories, such as Gayatri Spivak’s conceptions: ‘equivalence’ or ‘comparativist imagination,’ designed to resist contemporary capitalist and nationalist discourses in the age of ‘globalisation.’ It is also in this context that Williams’s way of self-definition ‘Welsh European’ acquires a new significance as an equally strong Marxist intervention in any capitalist appropriation of something ‘national.’
