Full textThe object of this thesis is to identify a retributive logic in the works of J. R. R. Tolkien. The definition adopted for the concept of retribution is that found in the Vocabulaire de Théologie Biblique, i. E. « receiving a reward or a punishment according to what has been done ». The observation of the key-characters and peoples shows great coherence in the treatment of retribution and highlights Tolkien’s Christian faith. The investigation mainly focuses on The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and also on the two short stories Leaf by Niggle and Smith of Wootton Major

This thesis studies The Silmarillion, a work by J. R. R. Tolkien, in order to identify the mythic structure that underlies the fantasy literature. Myths reveal the sacred and the actions of the heroes and gods in illo tempore and, when taken to the literary work of J.R.R. Tolkien, they allow some thinking about the diferente aspects that are part of the fantasy literature. The Silmarillion can be understood both as a mythological compendium of myths and narratives, and as na expression of fantasy as a genre, what composes the foundation to the thought concerning the the creation of the Secondary World known, in the scope of Tolkien’s work, as Arda. The theoretical studies by Norhtrop Frye regarding the mythological structure presented in literature and the meaning and purport of myths, as well as the theoretical perspectives on fantasy literature as developed by Rosemary Jackson, Lucie Armitt and Farah Mendlesohn, provide the toolsto this study along with the essay by Tolkien known as On fairy stories, that delas with the functions of fairy stories, which can be harmonized with fantasy literature in this study. It is possible, thus, to verify that not only does Tolkien create a World which is the stage to the events in his Works, but also creates, even more specifically, a way to think and write myths in literature aiming to think about importante aspects of the Primary World, that is, the World understood as real. In order to understand the relationship established between the Primary and the Secondary Worlds, three categories which are based on the narrative are presented: the fall, the redemption, and the hope. When considered in the light of the mythological themes and the biblical narrative, they allow the understanding about the dianoia that underlies Tolkien’s narrative, mainly in The Silmarillion.
Esta tese estuda a obra O Silmarillion, de J.R.R. Tolkien a fim de identificar a estruturação mítica que subjaz à literatura de fantasia. Os mitos revelam o sagrado e as ações dos heróis e dos deuses in illo tempore e, quando deslocados para a composição literária de J.R.R. Tolkien, permitem uma reflexão sobre os diferentes aspectos que caracterizam o gênero fantasy. A obra O Silmarillion pode ser compreendida tanto como um compêndio de mitos e narrativas, quanto como uma expressão do gênero fantasia, o que compõem a base para uma reflexão a respeito do pensamento subjacente à criação do Mundo Secundário, conhecido no âmbito da obra de J.R.R. Tolkien, como Arda. Neste estudo, são instrumentalizados os estudos teóricos de Northrop Frye acerca da estrutura mitológica presente na literatura e dos sentidos e significados dos mitos, além das perspectivas teóricas sobre a literatura de fantasia, desenvolvidas nas obras de Rosemary Jackson, Lucie Armitt e Farah Mendlesohn, incluindo, também, o estudo teórico de Tolkien, On fairy stories, que discute as funções das histórias de fadas, que podem ser conciliadas, neste estudo, com a literatura de fantasia. Verifica-se, então, que Tolkien não apenas cria um Mundo, que é palco das narrativas descritas em suas obras, mas cria também e, principalmente, um modo de pensar e escrever o mito na literatura a fim de refletir aspectos importantes do Mundo Primário, ou seja, o mundo postulado como real. Para a compreensão das relações estabelecidas entre o Mundo Primário e o Mundo Secundário, apresentam-se três categorias estruturadoras da narrativa: a queda, a redenção e a esperança, as quais, quando relacionadas aos temas mitológicos e à narrativa bíblica, permitem compreender a dianoia subjacente à narrativa tolkieniana, sobretudo em O Silmarillion.

Full textThis dissertation intends to investigate fantasy literature as in fairy tales from the apparent impasse between rationality and the magic and poetic order. Would the fantasy narratives have something to say? Could the magical vision of texts not be restricted just to children readers? Why is this kind of narrative characterized by literary theory (as well as literary critics) as a minor literature? If they do not have much to say, why do they still remain known and constantly recreated, or studied and analyzed by other areas of knowledge, such as psychoanalysis? Imagination guides the production in the arts and, as a human act, proposes a denser and more consistent view. Therefore, the author and academic J. R. R. Tolkien is the source of this research. Thus, under the artistic creation view, the attempt is to formulate the contraposition between two great currents analysis of the effect provided by the plot that has its historical importance: the Platonic/Aristotelian tradition versus Kant and the romantics’ esthetic tradition.

Full textIn all his works, and in particular in the lord of the rings, the fantasy world created by Tolkien reflects his philosophy of art. The first part of the thesis seeks to analyze this philosophy of art, of which the kernel is "sub-creation»: parallel to divine creation there is, according to Tolkien, a sub-creation which is the artist's work. By means of this sub-creation Tolkien is able to create a fantastic realism, a new sort of truth. He manages this by using a blend of traditional literary forms (quest, heroic adventures, fairy-stories, legends) and personal inventions (world of "middle-earth"). If one considers this literary creation based on a mixture of erudition and invention, it may be wondered which type of reader Tolkien wished to address: child or adult? The second part studies the sources that nourished Tolkien’s works, by attempting to differentiate between myths, legends and fairy-stories. This part reinforces the idea that Tolkien, who was highly erudite, indeed follows a great tradition, but he also adds to it another dimension, thereby leaving his own personal and original mark on the traditional material. The aim of part three is to evaluate the use of personal experience in Tolkien’s works: Tolkien is a twentieth-century man and so inevitably this world is reflected in his tales. This part of the study is not only about the author's roots and the place of contemporary history in his work, but also his fundamental motivations - religion, friendship and love. In conclusion it may be said that in his "fantasy" books, Tolkien did not evade the real world as it is, but wished to disguise it so as to speak more effectively about reality as he perceives it

Full textTiivistelmä Väitöskirjani käsittelee konstruktiivista mytopoetiikkaa J. R. R. Tolkienin legendaariossa. Työ keskittyy ennen kaikkea mytopoeettiseen logiikkaan ja elementteihin, joiden kautta Tolkienin tekstit ja hänen luomansa fantasiamaailma rakentuvat. Tutkimukseni muodostaa Tolkienin fiktion luennan, joka osoittaa, että Tolkienin legendaariolle voidaan löytää mytopoeettinen koodi. Tämä koodi havainnollistaa, että Tolkienin mytopoeettinen fiktio luo koherentin ja uskottavan kokonaisuuden kielen, myyttien sekä inter- ja intratekstuaalisten vaikutussuhteiden kautta. Tämä yhteenkuuluvuus ja koodi on nähtävissä, vaikka Tolkienin legendaarion osat ovat keskenään perin erilaisia, eri kirjallisuuslajeihin kuuluvia ja vaikka osa on julkaistu vain fragmentteina hänen kuolemansa jälkeen. Tolkienin mytopoeettinen logiikka ja luovan kirjoittamisen teoria näkyvät aina Silmarillion-teoksen kosmogonisesta luomismyytistä kevyen satumaiseen Hobittiin tai aina seikkailufantasiaan Taru Sormusten Herrasta. Tekijänä Tolkien näyttäytyy teoksissaan “alempana luojana” (sub-creator), joka kehittää myyttejä ja rakentaa fantasiamaailmaansa. Tolkienille Jumala on “ylempi luoja”, johon kirjailija vertautuu fiktion tasolla. Väitöskirjani tutkimuslogiikka seuraa Tolkienin legendaarion aikajärjestystä. Aloitan työni maailmanluomisesta, siirryn tämän jälkeen ns. pitkään tappioon ja haipumiseen sekä aina maailmanloppuun saakka. Luomisen teemaa käsitellessäni päähuomioni on sekä Tolkienin legendaarion teosten sisäisessä kertomuksessa että hänen kirjallisen luomisensa estetiikassa. Väitöskirjan loppupuolella käännän huomiotani myös lukijan “luomistyöhön” teoksia lukiessa. Käyttämääni teoreettiseen näkökulmaan ovat vaikuttaneet erityisesti Northrop Fryen konstruktiivinen kirjallisuusteoria sekä Benjamin Harshavin konstruktiivinen poetiikka. Käsittelyssäni ovat myös spekulatiivisen historiallisen epiikan metodit sekä hyvän ja pahan, kuolevaisuuden ja kuolemattomuuden, henkisen ja fyysisen sekä näkyvän ja näkymättömän vastakkainasetteluparit, ja ennen kaikkea se, kuinka nämä vastakkainasetteluparit ja elementit näyttäytyvät Tolkienin mytopoeettisessa visiossa. Tolkienin fiktion konstruktiivinen mytopoetiikka havainnollistuu metafyysisten ja temaattisten käsitteiden Luominen (Creation), Olemassaolo (Existence), Lankeamus (Fall) ja Ponnistelu (Struggle) kautta

São contados os acontecimentos que deram origem a tudo, seres e ambientes, sentimentos, o Mal e sua eterna luta contra o Bem pelo poder. Pretendemos realizar este intento com o auxílio de teorias diversas, em especial a linha feminista da crítica literária que se ocupa do papel da mulher como leitora de textos de autoria masculina, como é o caso. Esperamos, também, contribuir com o crescente interesse pela obra do autor inglês, deixado à margem do cânone pela crítica especializada, para que assim se possa reconhecer a importância de sua obra em seu tempo, e também a de suas personagens femininas.

The novel gives an account on the facts that figure as a mythical background to the world where it is placed, Middle-earth. The events that were the origin to everything, beings and places, feelings, Evil and its eternal fight against Good for power, are told. We intend to achieve this goal with the support of many theories, especially the feminist trend of literary criticism that deals with the role of woman as a reader of texts written by men, as it is the case. We also wish to contribute to the growing interest on the works of the English author, who was left at the edge of the canon by the specialized critics, so that it is possible to recognize the importance of his work at his time, and also the importance of his female characters.

Full textThe Lord of the Rings is a hybrid in which elements borrowed from northern mythologies are used to express a Judeo-Christian weltanschauung the representation of transcendence calls both on the notions of sacer and sanctus. Thus can we oppose the sacred to the holy and to the profane. This opposition is redoubled by that between the two antithetic poles of the sacred. Those manifold oppositions lead to the war or the ring, he to a sacrificial crisis at the end of which the whole cosmos is regenerated. The time setting of the action being at once the end of an age and the beginning of another, the representation of time appears derived from myth. All the more so as the conflict and the protagonists are presented as avatars of the primordial conflict that involved creatures of angelic natures. This cyclical dimension of time is contradicted by an integration of the conflict to a historical frame, i. E. A linear representation of time. Likewise, space is represented heterogeneously: it is both Ptolemaic and Copernican and is organized in a network of oppositions between sacred places themselves, but also between them and holy or profane places. This space-time heterogeneity that founds the cosmos finds an echo on the linguistic level. In addition to the sudden shifts in the narrative tone - mainly the recourse to archaisms - , the shift from prose to verse also marks the intrusion of the sacred in the world. Lastly, the invention of elfish liturgical and hier ophanical tongues places the principle of spirit matter permeability at the heart of the story. The ring, the ultimate manifestation of this permeability, is an obvious reference to northern heathen mythology. The originality of Tolkien’s quest is that it aims at destroying the ring. This is how, in the final renunciation to power, myth annihilates itself to make room for holy history

Full textAdaptation has been a part of cinema since its very beginning. Since then, the number of film versions of literary works which appear on screen has never ceases to increase and adaptation is still at the heart of cinematic production around the world. Adaptation actually exists in a rather paradoxical situation. What motivates its conception is also the source of the majority of criticism against it. On one hand, the economic advantage is clear. The fame of a popular novel guarantees a large audience. On the other hand, its creative context can prove to be difficult since ontologically adaptation serves to preserve the traditional comparison based on an oppositional paradigm of the arts where the film has to justify itself in front of the source text. Standing at a crossroads between the arts, adaptation is the focus of a debate on a notional hierarchy within the arts where narration through images could still be perceived as inferior compared to other forms.We wanted to study this phenomenon within the context of the resurgence of fantasy witnessed in the 2000’s in this thesis. In the English-speaking world this cultural event reached an unexpected level with the success of the adaptations of J. R. R. Tolkien and J. K. Rowling’s novels while the film versions of C. S. Lewis’ works were less well received. With these points in mind, we consider the process and the product of adaptation in order to situate our corpus in the debate through a top down approach of comparison. We thus hope to bring some elements of reflections on the craze for these stories and the domain of adaptation studies

Full textThroughout more than half a century since the publication of the first volume of J. R. R. Tolkien\'s The Lord of the Rings, in 1954, most discussions on the composition of Tolkien\'s fiction have concentrated on the fact that it is a fundamentally linguistic work; namely, the fact, sustained many times by Tolkien himself, that the narrative was created to give a world to the languages invented by the author. The starting point of this research is the observation of such linguistic composition from another perspective: the conception of the narrative as a fictitious translation. Setting about from a study of pseudotranslation inside Translation Studies, we examine how it operates specifically in this work, aiming at demonstrating that it is not merely a narrative technique, but the very creative principle of the narration. After the analysis of the translational fiction, which functions as a frame for the rendering of the events in the story, we present a further study on the use of language in the construction of Tolkien\'s mythological fantasy. Summing up these two operations, we aim at showing how the interlacing process of one fiction into another is fundamental for the creation of a work that dwells on the threshold of fantasy and reality.

What legitimates a text? In what way may one understand literature and even analyze it? This research has as its objective to think about the existents relations in the production of the English literary field departing from three ways: Pierre Bourdieu s sociological analysis of the exchange of symbolic goods and the social and political relations involving the different social fields with which the literary field relates; the historic situation departing from the analysis of Raymond Williams and Edward Palmer Thompson; and at last, the analysis of the chosen literary piece itself through the ideals of myth, language and literature on Walter Benjamin s thinking. For that given its contradictory position in the field - J.R.R Tolkien s work was chosen as object. Even reaching extraordinary levels of popularity in so little time in a moment when publicity and propaganda hadn t invaded the editorial field, the authors work still lives on despite its success through different generations and classes as minor literature, being excluded and little debated by its legitimate pairs
O que legitima um texto? De que modo se pode compreender a literatura e mesmo analisá-la? Esta dissertação tem como objetivo pensar as relações existentes na produção do campo literário inglês tomando por base três vertentes: a análise sociológica de Pierre Bourdieu sobre a troca dos bens simbólicos e as relações sociais e políticas envolvidas nos diferentes campos sociais com os quais dialoga o campo literário; a situação histórica baseada nas reflexões de Raymond Williams e Edward Palmer Thompson; e por último a análise interna da obra escolhida a partir das reflexões sobre mito, linguagem e literatura no pensamento de Walter Benjamin. Para isso, foi selecionada como objeto de investigação, e por sua situação contraditória no campo literário, a obra de John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, autor que atingiu marcas espetaculares de popularidade em pouco tempo e em um momento em que a publicidade e a propaganda ainda não haviam invadido o campo editorial; talvez por isso, e apesar do sucesso ultrapassou gerações e classes, seja considerado pelo campo literário um autor menor , carente de legitimação entre seus pares

I also present my translation and commentary of the four texts that make up the anthology - On-fairy stories, Mythopoeia, Leaf by Niggle e The homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm\'s son, of which the first three are presented in their entirety - in order to demonstrate how this possibility may develop in an actual Portuguese translation

O bem é mau e o mal é bom, assim, o vilão, não é de todo, um sujeito mal. Direcionar novos olhares para os conceitos de feio e belo, bem e mal a partir da reflexão sobre a constituição do inimigo e como este se torna o vilão foi a proposta deste trabalho, por isso, ele tem como objetivo principal compreender como se constitui o vilão, Melkor, em O Silmarillion de J. R. R. Tolkien, obra esta que narra o surgimento de Arda – mundo ficcional do autor, onde se passam as histórias de sua mitologia – os acontecimentos de sua Primeira Era, surgimento do bem e do mal e as constituições morais e éticas dos sujeitos com base nessa dicotomia. Refletir sobre estas questões levou a percepção de que é na alteridade, na relação eu-outro, que se constitui o sujeito valorado como vilão. Para tanto, recorreu-se as teorias preconizadas pelo filosofo da linguagem russo Mikhail Bakhtin e o Círculo, como caminho metodológico, conjuntamente com a jornada do herói desenvolvida por Joseph Campbell em O Herói de Mil Faces. Esse exercício se dá na tentativa de demonstrar que o vilão não é apenas um antagonista do herói e detentor de todo o mal, mas sim um sujeito singular e único na sua vida que se constitui na relação com o outro. Ele é valorado socialmente de forma negativa, seja pelos seus atos ou estética, a partir do olhar do outro e do seu posicionamento moral na realidade em que faz parte, tendo assim, seus atos considerados como perversos e sua estética como feia, monstruosa ou grotesca. Conclui-se que o vilão, assim como herói, é bem e mal, feio e belo e a sua constituição se dá na relação com o outro. O herói também comete ações contra o vilão, também é monstruoso e grotesco, no entanto ele é aquele que concorda com um discurso dominante. E é quando herói se coloca na relação com o vilão, aquele que questiona, que ambos se constituem como bons e maus; belos e feios.

Com essa pesquisa pretende-se, a partir de uma abordagem teórico-crítica de O Senhor dos Anéis, obra máxima de J. R. R. Tolkien, analisar o modo de atuação da personagem Gandalf, de forma a esclarecer e melhor compreender como essa personagem atua na narrativa e, com essa atuação, possibilita a existência da narrativa em si mesma, equilibrando ou desequilibrando o compasso do enredo. A forma como ela se movimenta e se manifesta no enredo é que permite concluir que cabe a Gandalf a responsabilidade de ser o urdidor dos elementos narrativos. Ele possilita que os elementos distintos da obra se conectem e dessa forma impulsionem a narrativa. Para tal análise há a mobilização de teorias que se referem à atuação da personagem e ao contexto literário em questão. Tais teorias são relacionadas aos gêneros romance, épica, contos de fadas, novelas de cavalaria e mito, bem como a psicanálise, religião, personagem e herói. Partindo do estudo da referida personagem, intenciona-se contribuir, em última instância, para uma melhor compreensão do universo ficcional criado pelo autor e um melhor entendimento dos recursos utilizados na composição da atuação da referida personagem na narrativa, aspecto que até o momento não foi adequadamente abordado e analisado pela crítica especializada na obra do autor.
With this research it is intended to analyse the way of acting of the character Gandalf departing from a theoretical-critical approach of The Lord of the Rings, J. R. R. Tolkien’s masterpiece, and by this, searching the enlightment and better understanding of how this character acts on the paths of the narrative and how this acting makes possible the existence of narrative itself, by balancing or even unbalancing the plot’s compass. The way he moves and acts in the plot allows us to conclude that Gandalf is the responsible for manipulating the narrative elements. He makes possible the connection among different elements of the plot, boosting the narrative. There is a mobilization of theories concerning the character's performance and the literary context to do such analysis. The theories are related to the genres novel, epic, fairy tale, romance and myth, as well as to the psychoanalysis, the religion, the character and the hero. Departing from the study of the referred character, it is intended to contribute, in the last resort, to a better understanding of the fictional universe created by the author and a better comprehension of the resources used in the composition of the reported character’s performance in the narrative, an aspect that was not properly approached and analysed by the critics on the work of the author.

Full textThe first part is dedicated to the definition of the quest. Its stakes appear little by little. The heroes understand it differently and use a different vocabulary to talk about it. The origin, the shape and the content of the object of the quest allow a better understanding of the quest. The grail and the, ring are exactly unlike and have similar functions. They are not the only intermediaries in the revelation, numerous objects, even characters can be compared to them. According to the authors, the quest can be either a literary pretext or the illustration of their interior quest. The object of the second part is a study of the characters of the quest : the heroes, companions, wizards, enemies. The third part deals with the progress of the quest. The aim of the quest is opposite in both books : to find the grail, in the first one, and to destroy the ring in the second one. But they are similar in their trials and consequences. One of the most important trial is the temptation. Love is an obstacle to the quest. In l'enchanteur. Some kind of love are condemned but when love achieves the ideal, it can rival with the grail. The quest is closely linked to an initiatory trip. Even those who fail in the quest live an interior journey. The fourth part is dedicated to the meanings of the quest. There are many forms of divine which have an important influence on the quest. The quest is at the origin of mystic experiences. Thanks to the quest, the heroes can ponder over the meaning of life, all the more since it is strongly linked with death. The last part is about the achievement of the quest, which is at the same time success and failure. Evil will never disappear completely. Every man must reconquer its own grail

Full textThis work is a topological classification of the imaginary universe of Arda according to the criteria of archetypal analysis. The first part analyses the cosmogonic myth, the geography of Arda and its evolution towards present day earth. Middle-earth is put under the light of the symbolic "regimes" of imagination defined by Durand. Water imagery deeply emphasizes the diairetic scheme and images of death. Mountains (peaks or chains) are obstacles which can rarely be climbed up successfully. Thence the crossing through dark subterranean passages endowed with infernal connotations. One can remark a more deeply "felt" description of landscapes dominated by evil whose delineation was highly important for Tolkien. Images of intimacy are rarer. Wooded spaces are rather privileged. The tree turns out to be a very potent symbol in Tolkien’s works. The study of all forms of housing shows towns and cities represent the development of natural sites and are marked by a profound desire for protection expressed through multiple walls or enclosures or their underground situation. The cycles of life-death-resurrection are numerous. Annexes give a few guidelines for a study of the cartographic evolution of Arda

Este trabalho propõe uma revisão e uma delimitação do gênero fantasia que se dará fundamentalmente por meio do diálogo com as noções de contos de fadas e de fantasia tal como formuladas por J. R. R. Tolkien (2013) em seu ensaio Sobre contos de fadas. Em termos de revisão, procuraremos o cotejo entre a teoria do autor de O senhor dos anéis e críticos tais como Manlove (1982, 1990), Laetz e Johnston (2008), Stableford (1990), Attebery (1980, 1990, 1992). No que tange à delimitação, interessar-nos-á particularmente o contraponto com a concepção do gênero maravilhoso proposta por Todorov (2007). Tal postura contribuirá para a afirmação da fantasia como um gênero mais bem delineado e coerente, contribuindo, também, para a coesão do próprio maravilhoso, gênero demasiado amplo que congrega obras muito heterogêneas. A fantasia surgirá, desse modo, como um dos limites do maravilhoso, justamente quando os elementos sobrenaturais da narrativa possuem o que Tolkien chama de consistência interna de realidade, constituindo um Mundo Secundário. Portanto, enquanto no maravilhoso encontra-se uma integração (e harmonização) entre o natural e o sobrenatural, a fantasia implicará uma disjunção entre duas realidades, dois Mundos. Segundo essa concepção, propomos uma leitura de A história sem fim, de Michael Ende, focada, por um lado, nos procedimentos narrativos que favorecem a construção da fantasia, e, por outro, no aspecto metalinguístico que ocupa uma posição central no romance do escritor alemão. A abordagem da obra de Ende, dessa forma, deverá simultaneamente permitir o contato entre a teoria sobre a fantasia e a obra literária e favorecer conexões com outras narrativas (como As crônicas de Nárnia, O senhor dos anéis, O silmarillion, Mestre Gil de Ham e a série Harry Potter) que dela se aproximam, contribuindo, consequentemente, para uma melhor delimitação do...
This work proposes a revision and delimitation of the fantasy genre that will fundamentally occur through the dialogue with the notions of fairy tales and fantasy as formulated by J. R. R. Tolkien (2013) in his essay On Fairy Stories. In terms of revision, it will be done a comparison between The Lord of the Rings author's theory and the ones by critics such as Manlove (1982, 1990), Laetz and Johnston (2008), Stableford (1990), Attebery (1980, 1990, 1992). Regarding delimitation, it will interest us, particularly, the counterpoint with the marvelous as thought by Todorov (2007). This posture will contribute to fantasy's affirmation as a better lineate and coherent genre, contributing also to the cohesion of the marvelous itself, since it is a broad genre that brings together several heterogeneous works. Thus fantasy will appear as one of marvelous' limits, precisely when the narrative's supernatural elements have what Tolkien calls internal consistency of reality, constituting a Secondary World. Therefore, while in the marvelous it is found an integration (and harmonization) between natural and supernatural, fantasy imply a disjunction between two realities, two worlds. According to this conception, this work proposes a reading of Micahel Ende's The Neverending Story focusing, on the one hand, in the narrative procedures that favor the fantasy construction, and, on the other hand, in the metalinguistic aspect that occupies a central position in the German writer's novel. Therefore, the approach of Ende's work must simultaneously allow the contact between fantasy's theory and literary work as well as foment connections with other narratives with similar procedures (such as The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, Farmer Giles of Ham and the Harry Potter series), consequently contributing to a better definition of the fantasy genre itself

Full textDen här uppsatsen undersöker Härskarringen (1959–61), en översättning av J. R. R. Tolkiens The Lord of the Rings (1954–55), med en översättningsvetenskaplig deskriptiv metodik. Uppsatsen försöker utröna vilka egenskaper hos den svenska tolkningen som gjort att dess ställning som översättning, till helheten eller enskilda delar, har ifrågasatts av en rad kritiker. Undersökningen utförs genom att tillämpa en metod för utverkande av avvikelser mellan översättningen och originaltexten inom för uppsatsen ändamålsenliga kategorier, såsom betydelsemässiga avvikelser mellan översättning och original. De framkomna avvikande textställena sorteras sedan efter deras språkform, och utifrån resultatet samt förhållanden i översättningens tillblivelse karakteriseras sedan den undersökta aspekten av översättningen genom ett antal egenskapsdrag samt möjliga anledningar till dessa. Slutsatsen efter genomförd undersökning är att Härskarringen, huvudsakligen genom att på olika sätt förhålla sig fritt till originalet, bär många gemensamma drag med översättningar inom lågprestigelitteraturen, och att kritikerna – då dessa förefaller anse att Tolkiens The Lord of the Rings tillhör högprestigelitteraturfältet och bör översättas enligt dess normer – därför har reagerat mot översättningens utformning. Härskarringens ställning som översättning har ifrågasatts på grund av att verket inte har översatts i enlighet med normerna på det litterära fält där det i dag anses befinna sig. Företeelsen får delvis ses som en följd av The Lord of the Rings och J. R. R. Tolkiens ökade anseende, och är därmed ett exempel på återverkningar av ett verks rörlighet inom det litterära systemet.

Full textFor about twenty years, children's literature has enjoyed an extraordinary boom, particularly thanks to crossover books which bridge the gap between adults and teenagers. Some sagas have become best-sellers, like "His Dark Materials" by Philip Pullman (1995-2000). Since the birth of children's literature in 1865 with the publication of "Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll, young readers have been infatuated with some narratives. In 1937, Tolkien created a new genre, Fantasy, with "The Hobbit", which became successful worlwide. At a time when we are questioning children's reading skills - as well as their desire to read - the destiny of these novels seems quite remarkable. How have they managed to appeal to so many young readers for years ? What are the narratological and aesthetic devices used by their authors ? What skills are inexperienced readers supposed to use in order to understand the meaning of a text while reading it ? How do such texts bring out and implement these reading skills ? Moreover, after being didactic for centuries, children's literature has become pedagogical, but has always remained an ideal way to transmit values which are not necessarily doxic. The axiological positions in each narrative reveal the idea a society gets of its children and the importance it gives them. Through the educational philosophy embodied in the presence of child characters and the indirect description of the child reader given by each text, we can delineate the portrait of a society at a given time

Full textThis M.A. thesis analyses the intermediatic dialogue established between The Fellowship of the Ring, a book written by Professor John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892 - 1973), and The Lord of the Rings Online (Lotro), a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game. Here, I intend to explain important aspects for the construction of this dialogue such as how it is created and how it has been articulating itself, focusing, according to Comparative Literature Studies’, on the remediation process and on aspects such as structure, half-reality and interactive fiction, characteristic of the interaction between both media. John R. R. Tolkien’s book has gone through several complex processes of (re)mediation, being The Lord of the Rings Online one of them. The game features the part of Middle-Earth that is told in the first two volumes of The Lord of the Rings. Lotro guides its players through missions called epic quests, which follow the nine members of the fellowship of the ring to the great battles at Mordor. The analysis proposed starts from the problematic issue of classifying what a medium is (MCLUHAN, 2013), the way through which media relate to one another and the context in which they are created (BOLTER; GRUSIN, 2000), adding the theoretical postulates of videogames. It is a comparative analysis that includes, as an example of the appropriate differences in structural articulations and other aspects, the passage (VAN TIEGHEM, 1931) from literature into videogame as a successful exchange that values both media, while promoting new experiences to the reader.
