stuff from Tolkien Tolkien and philosophy: the report of the conference


Who can tell: "I was there."
The international conference "Tolkien and philosophy", organized by 'Philosophical Studies Institute Thomistic of Modena and by' Associazione Romana Studi Tolkien was an important event, successful and, above all, enjoyable. A day of work, a weekend side by side with Verlyn Flieger, Tom Shippey and Christopher Garbowski, not to mention "our" Andrea Monda, Wu Ming 4 and Franco Manni. Nine hours (number Tolkien par excellence!) For deep reflection, you fly as if they were chatting with friends. And even though May 22 was the first Saturday of sunshine after weeks of rain, a crowd of nearly 180 people concerned preferred to withdraw into a conference room, look to return to Middle-earth from different points of view.

The organization had been treated especially Thomistic Institute (which was playing at home), but we ARST as we have our active support, and we hope we have helped to make the whole day was a success .

After the ritual opening address of President of the Thomistic and ARST, started the first long-awaited action: Tom Shippey, probably the greatest expert in the world the work of Tolkien, and Franco Manni magazine Endòre have entered into a friendly but intense debate about "Tolkien between philosophy and philology." Manni, of course, the proponent of the philosophy, gave a hard time to Shippey, a philologist, but in our opinion in the dispute has brought the palm of a well-deserved victory.

Garbowski was followed by Christopher, and dense with an important speech on "Philosophy and Tolkien's theology of death." After participating in a group of two-year study on "Death and Immortality in Tolkien" (which resulted in volume The Sickle broken ) we had to be alert and interested, and in fact we found inspiration and ideas worthy of note. Garbowski remarkable passage in which he recalled "the way to immortality Hobbit: do children."

After a brief stop for lunch (in short hobbit sense) there has been what many people consider the time highlight of the day: the debate between Andrew Monda and on Wu Ming 4 "Tolkien's Catholic thinker?". I finally passed the surprise gave a face to one of the Wu Ming (no, not publish her picture, because it is coming move, you need to know that some have likened in appearance to Caravaggio), we were very impressed with the preparation and passion that debating both have shown, that Andrea was regarded by some viewers as his best presentation ever, Wu Ming 4 was, especially for the many who had never heard a real revelation. Just a shame that the two "litigants" and then not have fought so much, and often instead of being in agreement on many points. We who were there, and we followed the preparation of the meeting, but we can confirm that there was no combine : the meeting is valid (result: essentially a tie).

The last surgery was really amazing for all those (many) who had never had the opportunity to hear the voice of Verlyn Flieger. To transmit a part of the surprise and emotion, do not hesitate to steal the words of a professional speech, Wu Ming 4 :
"I have a feeling that I was a bit 'in love with a woman of seventy-seven years by the name by Verlyn Flieger. A small, skinny woman (to the point compares himself to Gollum), with a penetrating gaze and a voice like few images that will be that of Galadriel. When she read the verses in Quenya and Entish (apologizing for the pronunciation), in absolute silence of the room, I had the shakes. And when he spoke of Tolkien's theory of language, with a clear action, no flaws, the exact number of words to say the exact number of things and not a comma, too, gave me a sense of perfection, a height at the expense of small stature. "

the evening, members Organizers had the privilege of living a purely convivial evening with renowned speakers. And here's that name pronounced with reverence, reading, studying and translating Tolkien's criticism of their essays, have become real faces and smiling. Professor Shippey, Leeds supporter and fan of football, champing at the bit to watch the Champions League final (rooting, sportsmanship, for the Italian team). Professors Garbowski and Flieger (along with his friendly companion) were surrounded by confusion of merry table, and between m steaming pizza, beer, laughter and occasional problems of translation, have shown once again to be great connoisseurs of culture hobbit, without any apparent effort by supporting such an enterprise.

finally came out Tolkien: the man and the myth of Joseph Pearce, the seventh volume of the series and its Tolkien .

In the liner notes reads: Tolkien: Man and Myth is widely considered one of the best studies on JRR Tolkien, because it analyzes with rigor and precision is a biography that works, and compares it with the myth that has gone around the world by creating the Lord of the Rings . Particularly valuable are the pages devoted to friendship (also problematic) who tied Tolkien to CS Lewis, author of the Chronicles of Narnia . The Italian translation is enhanced by a novel written by Don Divo Barsotti (one of the greatest mystics of our century) dedicated to the Lord of the Rings and commented on by Paul Gulisano.

To celebrate the occasion with dignity, we report two more titles this year (hopefully ) exit.

And then we October, calendar ...

Tolkien and philosophy

publish below an article Verlyn Flieger which anticipates the conference Tolkien and philosophy, to be held Saturday, May 22 in Modena, where the famous scholar and Tolkien, author of the seminal book Pieces of light, will participate with a speech entitled " Tolkien's philosophy of time and language "(Hotel Raffaello, road Cognento 5, Modena).

Question of wisdom

The conference organized by the Institute of Philosophical Studies and the Association of Roman Thomistic Studies Tolkien May 22 in Modena will be an important opportunity to consider the issue "Tolkien and philosophy." At first glance, may seem a strange combination, because it is natural to associate Tolkien - the author of the popular fantasy of modern times, the inventor of the Hobbits, the man who wrote of Elves and Dwarves and Dragons - with the very concept of "academic" philosophy. However, a closer analysis of Tolkien's philosophy and show us what these two are actually closely linked. Literally, philosophy means philo sophia, meaning "love of wisdom." However, the "wisdom" is not so easy to define, since it includes a wide variety of references, including mythology, theology, politics and psychology. The issue, therefore, should include the study of Tolkien's wisdom on all these levels and on all these perspectives. Tolkien's major works: his "mythology for England", the Silmarillion, and even more his epic romance, the Lord of the Rings contain his deepest thoughts on human existence. They are narrated in a series of stories (myths) about the relationship between humanity and its creator (theology) through a fictional history (political) concerning human actions and reactions (psychology).

In short, these books are philosophical in the most practical sense of the word. But since Tolkien was a philologist, their philosophy is based on language, since without a knowledge of the history of words and their meanings change over time, so we do not have anything to do: tell stories, to question the existence of God, explain the human history, or explore the interactions between people. I invented languages \u200b\u200bof Tolkien were the inspiration behind the myths, the most important foundations of his novel, and the vehicle of his philosophy. In the essay "On Fairy Stories", Tolkien wrote that "To ask what is the genesis of the tales ... is wondering what the origin of language and the human mind" ( Tree and Leaf, p. 30)., And a preliminary draft of the same essay that "the myth is language, and language is mythology." It was quite possible to write the same philosophy, which is also related to the words we use, through which we seek both to describe and understand our world. When we read the stories of legendarium Tolkien read his philosophy turned into a drama. Stories of Men and Elves and Hobbits who strive to maintain their balance in Middle-earth show us a world so similar to that in which we live, we can see the beauty and danger, familiarity and strangeness, such as images fantastic reflections of our own.

Edoardo Sanguineti, 1930-2010. RIP

"You write because you are dissatisfied with what we read, under the pressure of a sort of megalomania convinced to say better or more original with what had been said before,"

In the words of the poet who died from a few days there is a Tolkien theme closely, as the complaint of the arrogance of those who "create" art, and at the same time a reminder of the challenge between Tolkien and Lewis, tired of not finding stories of personal taste, and then decided to write them.

Curious as two such different people may come to somewhat similar concepts.

My Right Ovary Hurts Why Is That

Frank Frazetta, 1928-2010. RIP


has been synonymous with strength and adventure, muscles and swords, and of epic fantasy. In the U.S., Frank Frazetta is an icon of a genre that can be summed up by us with a name, Conan the Barbarian. Long before Arold Schwarzenegger stole the collective imagination of the character was born from the imagination of Robert E. Howard, his Conan, with covers and comics, depopulated among fans of fantasy. Illustrator, sculptor, painter, Frazetta has died at the age of 82 years due to a heart attack after a long career.

In the seventies, Frazetta created the new covers for the novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs
(Tarzan) and Robert E. Howard (Conan): revisiting his iconic not only redefined the characteristics of the "sword and sorcery," but it was powerful enough to impose itself even on those established by his predecessors. Hence the beginning of a successful author which gained a following.

Frazetta was born in New York, in Brooklyn, February 9, 1928, to parents of Italian origin. After his debut in comics in the late forties with stories for Western Publishing Ds in the Fifties he signed with stories of publishers such as EC Comics and DC Comics, which dealt with popular series such as "Lil Abner" by Al Capp, helping to cover depicting a series of Buck Rogers, landmark science fiction saga.
He also had a daily strip of his own in 1952-1953, "Johnny Comet" (later renamed
"Ace McCoy"). Its curriculum was enriched in 1953-54 with the strips of "Flash Gordon, in addition to collaboration with the horror of Warren Publishing magazines and implementation for the magazine "Playboy" parodistic of the strip "Little Annie Fanny."

But it was the covers of books in the series "Conan" by 1966 onwards that his name became known to all lovers of fantasy.
His realistic renderings of unearthly scenarios (with half-naked women and warrior attitude
) have made him the ideal candidate to illustrate the album covers of many bands heavy metal: famous for his covers of "Flirtin 'with Disaster" by Molly Hatchet and "Expect No Mercy" of Nazareth. In a short Frazetta became a legendary figure in the paintings and his evaluations reached considerable. In 2009 his oil painting of "Conan the Conqueror", used on the cover of the original 1966 book, was sold for one million dollars. The exorbitant sum was disbursed by Kirk Hammett, the guitarist of Metallica.

His death occurred just as Hollywood is taking on the big screen "Conan the Barbarian" and "John Carter of Mars": Both films are admittedly inspired in design and tone, with illustrations by Frazetta. "Conan the Barbarian" will arrive in 2011, directed by Marcus Nispel, starring Jason Momoa, flanked by Stephen Lang, Rachel Nichols, Ron Perlman, Said Taghmaoui, Leo Howard, Rose McGowan.

Shortly before his death , my aunt became ill with Alzheimer's centennial in a sudden flash of lucidity, he looks at me with eyes bright with fear, he said And mo ', who's the matter with you?!
