This paper attempts to read D. H. Lawrence’s The Trespasser in conjunction with the contemporary discussion of ecosexuality. An ecosexual reading of Lawrence, while positioning the modernist writer as an early proponent of the ecosexual theory, also reveals ecosexuality’s reliance upon the conventional environmental rhetoric that overemphasizes the ecological interconnectedness at the expense of the otherness of the more-than-human world. This paper analyzes key ecosexual instances in The Trespasser to examine the ways in which Lawrence’s ecosexual vision renders both nature and embodied experience within it primarily as a dark encounter with the otherness, the aspect of other that Timothy Morton calls “strange stranger.” This paper argues that Lawrence’s work challenges the ecological/ecosexual celebration of the interconnectedness and instead proposes a complex vision of love and relation that strives to balance independence and interdependence between man and woman, man and nature.
Abstract
This paper attempts to read D. H. Lawrence’s The Trespasser in conjunction with the contemporary discussion of ecosexuality. An ecosexual reading of Lawrence, while positioning the modernist writer as an early proponent of the ecosexual theory, also reveals ecosexuality’s reliance upon the conventional environmental rhetoric that overemphasizes the ecological interconnectedness at the expense of the otherness of the more-than-human world. This paper analyzes key ecosexual instances in The Trespasser to examine the ways in which Lawrence’s ecosexual vision renders both nature and embodied experience within it primarily as a dark encounter with the otherness, the aspect of other that Timothy Morton calls “strange stranger.” This paper argues that Lawrence’s work challenges the ecological/ecosexual celebration of the interconnectedness and instead proposes a complex vision of love and relation that strives to balance independence and interdependence between man and woman, man and nature.
