Happy #TolkienReadingDay

Check out my latest #blog post: On The Division of Heroic Labor and its Implications for Writing Fantasy and Fighting Evil

Learn how #JRRTolkien goes against the traditional hero archetype, and the lessons his approach can teach us about fighting evil in our own time.

I always thought that #JRRTolkien's #Smaug was a metaphor for the #IndustrialAge and #WealthHoarding. It seems I'm not alone! #Tolkien was actually an #environmentalist and possibly a #socialist (though he describes himself as an #anarchist). Does that mean #LOTR will be banned by #Fascistic #Capitalists? Hmmmm...

#Dragonomics: Smaug and #ClimateChange

Posted on February 22, 2019 by Richard Fahey

Excerpt: "Today, we talk about dragons. I refer specifically to the greedy, northern (often fire-breathing) variety as described in Beowulf and featured in Tolkien’s #Hobbit, and I will consider how these monsters present #EnvironmentalCatastrophe as a direct result of #hoarding and #greed.

"My discussion of dragons and climate change continues my recent series of blogs interested in placing medieval literature (and in this case also modern medievalism) in conversation with current crises. This blog develops an earlier argument made in a paper at a 'Tolkien in Vermont' conference (2014), titled 'Dragonomics: Smaug and #Pollution on Middle-Earth,' in which I argue that pollution in Tolkien’s Hobbit is linked to both the literal destruction by the dragon, and the rampant greed that motivates Smaug and ultimately initiates the plunder and violence at the Battle of Five Armies."

Aus dem Mythos von Tolkiens zweitem Zeitalter wurde ein Milliarden-Projekt, das sich selbst zur Marke stilisiert. Ein Phänomen spätkapitalistischen Erzählens, weil es eine Serie ist, die Größe verspricht und angeblich literarische Bedeutung verkauft. Das ist Fantasy als Abbild einer Konzernarchitektur, aber nicht mehr als Zufluchtsort. Die Show will die epische Lücke zwischen Tolkiens Welt und der Streaming-Gegenwart schließen – und landet dabei genau da, wo der Kapitalismus seine größten Siege feiert – in der Ästhetik des Überflusses. Willkommen auf ZDFprime. (ZDFneo, Neu!)

As it's #TolkienReadingDay, here's an opportunity to share some of the ways Tolkien's work has influenced me.

No mínimo, curioso.

Vejam bem no que o Tremendão se meteu a anos atrás! "Gigante Gentil’, álbum de que tem inspiração no universo dos quadrinhos, Senhor dos Anéis e J.R.R. Tolkien. Que interessante, viu...

Erasmo Carlos, mesmo não estando aqui, continua vivo. 👏👏👏

#JRRTolkien's novel The Two Towers employs #rowans as the signature tree for the Ent, #Quickbeam. The forest of #Fangorn, where Quickbeam & other Ents live, is populated with numerous rowans that were said to have been planted by male Ents to please the female #Entwives. Quickbeam declares his fondness for the tree by saying that no other "people of the Rose ... are so beautiful to me," a reference to the rowan's membership in the family #Rosaceae.
