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

This thesis is a systematic exposition of the theory of the education existent in the production of J.R.R Tolkien, that we call of Mythopoetic Paideia. From a phenomenological hermeneutics of its works of philological medieval poem analysis, of its theoretical assay on literature, its mythopoetics novels and its personal letters, we systemize a theory of the composed education of clear concepts of subject, object and method. In this theory, there is an anthropology that dialogues with the philosophical tradition Greek, the patristic and the scholastic, and that it is harmonic with the phenomenology of century XX; in the same way, the basic object is the sacred, understood as category of sciences of the religion, in historical and noetic key, that if express through the sacred narratives, either in the forms of the alive myth, either in the forms of the mythical reminiscences of the epic poetry or the modern romances of fancy. The method is the myth manufacture as form of meditation of the reading of texts of religious traditions, as well as the dialogic sharing with a group, that culminates in the publication of the manufactured workmanship. Thus, the subject that is open to the experience of the totality of the Being through the hierofania through poetical or literary narrative, through a method that integrates tradition, communion, creativity and work, makes acquaintance with the founding object of the conscience and the culture: the sacred
Esta tese é uma exposição sistemática da teoria da educação presente na produção de J.R.R. Tolkien, que denominamos de Paideia Mitopoética. A partir de uma hermenêutica fenomenológica de seus trabalhos de análise filológica de poemas medievais, de seu ensaio teórico sobre literatura, de seus romances mitopoéticos e de suas cartas pessoais, sistematizamos uma teoria da educação composta de conceitos claros de sujeito, objeto e método. Nessa teoria, existe uma antropologia que dialoga com a tradição filosófica grega, com a patrística e com a escolástica, e que é harmônica com a fenomenologia do século XX; da mesma forma, o objeto fundamental é o sagrado, entendido como categoria das ciências da religião, em chave histórica e noética, que se expressa através das narrativas sagradas, seja nas formas do mito vivo, seja nas formas das reminiscências míticas da poesia épica ou dos romances de fantasia modernos. O método é a fabricação de mitos como forma de meditação da leitura de textos de tradições religiosas, assim como o compartilhamento dialógico com um grupo, que culmina na publicação da obra fabricada. Assim, o sujeito aberto à experiência da totalidade do Ser através da hierofania via narrativa poética ou literária, através de um método que integra tradição, comunhão, criatividade e trabalho, se relaciona com o objeto fundador da consciência e da cultura: o sagrado

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.

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.

Esta dissertação pretende analisar a construção das personagens femininas na obra The Silmarillion, de J. R. R. Tolkien. Esse romance possui um tom fantástico, e é parte de uma mitologia criada por seu autor; as personagens possuem características que vão do humano ao divino, e a maioria delas é formada por homens predominantemente heróicos. O presente trabalho é focado nas personagens femininas da obra, e através da análise de suas descrições físicas e psicológicas, ações, características, enfim, de suas construções, objetiva determinar o modo de representação do autor, chegando-se, assim, a uma reflexão acerca da importância destas personagens na mitologia tolkieniana, à qual The Silmarillion serve como ponto inicial. Faz-se necessário, também, desvendar a influência de fatores políticos, sociais e históricos na criação e desenvolvimento destas personagens. A obra estudada relata os fatos que servem como fundo mítico à criação do mundo no qual se passa, a Terra-média. 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 present study focuses on the female characters of the novel, and through the analysis of their physical and psychological descriptions, actions, features, in short, their constructions, it intends to determine the author’s way of representation; so, it will be possible to reach a reflection about the importance of these characters in the Tolkienian mythology, to which The Silmarillion figures as the initial point. It is also necessary to unmask the influence of political, social and historical factors on the creation and development of these characters. 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 textThis thesis focuses on the English writer John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892-1973), the famous author of The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien’s literary work gathers many writings, stories and two famous novels, such as The Hobbit (1936) and The Lord of the Rings (1954-1955), that achieved a great succes all over the world. At the beginning of his literary career Tolkien aimed at the creation of a mythology to his country, England. This ambition was matched with his juvenile passion of inventing languages and his profession as a philologist and Anglo-Saxon teacher at Oxford University. Middle-earth, Tolkien’s secondary world, becomes the place where his fairy tales occurs and his languages may develop. This work shows how Tolkien’s work fits in the context of contemporary literature and that his production involves many elements collecting mythology, philology, fantasy and modernity.It consists of three parts: in the first part, some of the themes and the mythological sources of Tolkien’s tales are analyzed, in particular the Finnish sources, the Medieval and poetic ones. Thesecond part, the linguistic matters concerning Tolkien's work are taken into consideration and, in particular, the way how languages may create a world and the relation between reality and the perception of such reality, which will inevitably influence the language referred to it.Finally, in the third part, the Fairy element, which is one of the bases of Tolkien’s work is discussed, as well as the reception of our author, both from the critique point of view and the audience one, so as to demonstrate why he may be considered as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century

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 textSagan om ringen trilogin är väldigt mångfaldig i arter, raser och etniciteter vilket genom årtionden har genererat storskaliga akademiska diskussioner om förekomsten av en dold rasism i det litterära verket. Därmed är en analys av de interkulturella angelägenheter och möten som tar plats under berättelsens gång relevant för att upptäcka en möjlig rasistisk ideologi. Genom att applicera det postkoloniala konceptet ”Othering”, vilket är en differentieringsakt, analyserar denna uppsats rasistiska instanser i berättelsen och resultatet av eller oppositionen till dessa för att indikera förekomsten av en motståndsideologi till ”Othering” i trilogin. Analysen genomförs genom diskussioner om ”Othering” av andra arter/raser/etniciteter orsakade av blind tilltro till ens egen grupp, ”Othering” inom ens egen grupp, ”Othering” av andra arter/raser/etniciteter och diskussion om instanser av multikulturell acceptans. Med tanke på Tolkiens relation till naturen sträcker sig även denna diskussion till ”Othering” av naturen. Denna uppsats drar följaktligen slutsatsen att Sagan om ringen trilogin är emot ”Othering” eftersom berättelsen generellt sett presenterar aktionen som negativ för andra, en själv och ens älskade, såväl som innehåller instanser som helt enkelt förmedlar en positiv syn på multikulturalism.

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

Full textThough fifty years have passed since the publication of The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien is still an object of fascination, way beyond what could be expected from a fantasy writer. The interest is as high in the scholarly world as it is in the reading world and the universe Tolkien created, which is now fully laid out in The History of Middle-earth, is still full of secrets. Among those is the question of the importance of Celtic influences. Long cast aside because of the predominance of the Saxon ancestry of which Tolkien was a specialist, this culture starts to be acknowledged as important with such scholars as Marjorie Burns or Verlyn Flieger, and it is the object of this thesis. The first track of exploration puts together the Irish mythology and that of Tolkien to underline the connection between the Tuatha De Danann and the Elves. On the basis of Dumezil’s theories as they have been applied to Celtic culture by Leroux and Guyonvarc’h, every aspect of the Celtic civilisation (social, military, religious, magical) is laid out from the texts and compared to the tales of Middle earth. The central part of the research deals with medieval literature, be it Irish and Breton poetry or Arthurian legends. It gives the opportunity to discover some of Tolkien’s less famous texts and to answer the delicate problem of the place of Arthur and his world in the inspirations of The Lord of the Rings. Finally, the last two chapters presented here focus on the style and narration that are typical of Celtic literature to see if they can be found under Tolkien’s pen, and on the consequences of the Welsh lineage for Sindarin in the portraying and legends of the Sindarin people. A prologue and an epilogue frame this thesis by placing Celtic influences in the larger question of the invention of a mythology for England, which was Tolkien’s attempt

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

Full textThe British writer John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was, for 34 years, professor at Oxford University. Likewise as he conducted his classes with his favorite subjects, his writings are marked by features that satisfy his personal taste, providing excitement and pleasure. His most successful work The Lord of the Rings has sparked discussions for more than half a century, and in large part, about his linguistic grounds. The present work aims to study the dimensions of the fantastic and fantasy quoted in this book, as well as the activity of translation into Brazilian Portuguese by Artenova publishing in 1974 and by Martins Fontes publishing, in 1994. The work of Tzvetan Todorov, Brian Attebery and Richard Mathews are used as the theoretical framework for the study of fantasy. And for studies of translation are used the deconstruction, proposed by Jacques Derrida, the residual linked to the translation, by Lawrence Venuti and the notion of singularity proposed by Maria Paula Frota. This dissertation is divided into three chapters, with the first two discussed issues related to the narrative and the limits of the fantastic and fantasy, and the third will focus on the translation of the book The Lord of the Rings and some nuances of the translation process.

Sua obra de maior sucesso The Lord of the Rings tem suscitado discussões há mais de meio século, em grande parte, acerca de sua fundamentação linguística. O presente trabalho pretende estudar as dimensões do fantástico e da fantasia presentes na obra citada, assim como a atividade tradutória para o português do Brasil nas publicações das décadas de 60 e 70 pela editora Artenova e na década de 90 pela editora Martins Fontes. Utilizamos como fundamentação teórica para o estudo da fantasia, o trabalho de Tzvetan Todorov, Brian Attebery e Richard Mathews e para os estudos da tradução a desconstrução proposta por Jacques Derrida, o resíduo relacionado à tradução por Lawrence Venuti e a singularidade proposta por Maria Paula Frota. Este trabalho está divido em três capítulos, sendo que nos dois primeiros serão discutidos assuntos relacionados à narrativa e os limites do fantástico e da fantasia, e o terceiro, versará sobre a tradução da obra The Lord of the Rings e algumas nuances do processo tradutório.

J.R.R. Tolkien began writing his stories in the early twentieth century, with the intention of creating a mythology to his country, England. It is for this purpose that he builds an extensive set of tales, of which The Silmarillion is the reunion of his main narratives, whereas they narrate the beginning of a world known mainly for being the scene of the events of The Lord of the Rings. Thus the objective of this work is to show if Tolkien was even able to create a mythology, and try to point out how he did it and what influenced him in that trajectory, using, for this, not only critics of the work of the author, such as Tom Shippey and Amanda Dutton, but also theorists whose works are recognized in the analysis of myths, such as Eleazar Meletínski and Joseph Campbell.
