“Chosen Instruments”: Tolkien’s Hobbits and the Rhetoric of the Dispossessed

Watson, Samuel Bennett 01 April 2019 (has links)
Tolkien’s hobbit characters are capable of a particular type of rhetorical persuasion, one which relies on their ability to leverage their status as outsiders among the other people of Middle-earth. The hobbits are uniquely suited to the task of bringing unity to Middle-earth’s people because of the simplicity of their rhetoric, which focuses on proving their own morality and presenting truths without elaboration. When compared with the text, the film adaptations of The Lord of the Rings also help highlight the importance that Tolkien placed on the simplicity of hobbit rhetoric. These abilities of the hobbits become clear through a narrative analysis of the stories from Tolkien’s world, including Bilbo’s speech patterns, the efforts of Merry and Pippin to convince the Ents to fight Isengard, and Frodo’s appeal for unity and aid as made to the Council of Elrond.

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.

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
