초록
D. H. Lawrence’s journey and time in New Mexico can be seen as bildung, even a “hero’s journey,” in the manner of Joseph Campbell. It is his awakening into the awareness of not belonging in his home country, but rather in the newness of American, even Mexican mystical connectedness to the land, to the “sense of place.” In this context and in the fact of his writing against the dominant hegemony, not only against the cultural and literary establishments of England, but the government that persecuted him and Frieda as possible spies, Lawrence can be reclassified as a “postcolonial” author. Lawrence was not welcome in the dominant literary circles of London at the time, those of Pound, Eliot and Lewis. Thus he finds himself by binary opposition to all that was British, “contrapuntally,” as Edward Said would say, almost as a New Mexican. New Mexico fulfilled for him his search for a belonging, an identity and a transcultural religion that gave expression to his mysticism. Thus we can see that Lawrence’s attitude towards the Indians of New Mexico is not colonialist, but rather that of a transnational, hybrid, almost post-colonial wanderer.
Abstract
D. H. Lawrence’s journey and time in New Mexico can be seen as bildung, even a “hero’s journey,” in the manner of Joseph Campbell. It is his awakening into the awareness of not belonging in his home country, but rather in the newness of American, even Mexican mystical connectedness to the land, to the “sense of place.” In this context and in the fact of his writing against the dominant hegemony, not only against the cultural and literary establishments of England, but the government that persecuted him and Frieda as possible spies, Lawrence can be reclassified as a “postcolonial” author. Lawrence was not welcome in the dominant literary circles of London at the time, those of Pound, Eliot and Lewis. Thus he finds himself by binary opposition to all that was British, “contrapuntally,” as Edward Said would say, almost as a New Mexican. New Mexico fulfilled for him his search for a belonging, an identity and a transcultural religion that gave expression to his mysticism. Thus we can see that Lawrence’s attitude towards the Indians of New Mexico is not colonialist, but rather that of a transnational, hybrid, almost post-colonial wanderer.
