To the extent that Tolkien's fantasy meets his own criteria for faL. ie as the "eucatastrophic " tale which points toward "Evangelium," the eschaton when God's plan in creation will be fulfilled and the effects of the fall overcome, Tolkien may be described as a gospel writer. That he intended his work to be read as "gospel," "the good news of the Kingdom of God," is suggested by its allusions to biblical and classical mythology, its linear view of history, its presentation as a compilation of received tradition. collected and translated by many hands from a wide variety of sources, by the location of Middle Earth in the distant past of our own world and by the author's attempt to create a world which comforms to familiar patterns of evolution. Less successful is his effort to provide his tale with a consistent Christian point of view. / Dans la mesure, cette oeuvre d'imagination repond aux crit6res de f6erie de Tolkien en tant que conte "eucatastrophic" qui montre le chemin vers "I'Evangelium", cette eschatalogie qui se situe au moment o0 la volontê de Dieu est accomplie et les effets de la chute sont surmontes, Tolkien peut etre. considers comme un auteur biblique. Le fait qu'il est voulu que son oeuvre soit lue en tant qu'"&angile", "la bonne nouvelle du Royaunie de Dieu" est suggêre par diffèrentes choses: les allusions faites a la mythologie biblique et classique, la vision linêaire de l'histoire, la presentation du texte en tant que compilation d'une tradition provenant de sources diverses, transmise, recueillie et traduite par diffèrentes personnes, la situation geographique dans "Middle earth"(l'empire du Milieu) dans un passé lointain, le fait que l'auteur ait essay6 de crêer un monde conforme au processus connu de l'êvolution. 10anmoins l'auteur n'a pas rêussi dans ce conte a maintenir un point de vue chrêtien. fr

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

Denna uppsats undersöker och jämför moderskapsrollen hos två karaktärer i varsin fantasyroman. Catlyn stark i A Game of Thrones av George R. R. Martin, och Essun i The Fifth Season av N. K. Jemisin. Uppsatsen tar hjälp av Simone de Beauvoirs bok Det andra könet och det hon skriver om modern som underlag för begreppet moderskap. Analysen visar att båda karaktärernas moderskap präglas av att de vill skydda sina barn och det dikterar hur de agerar i böckerna, vilket även driver romanernas intriger framåt. Moderskapsrollen är dock något som kan skifta beroende på hur de ser på sig själva och sin roll som moder.
