Usuário
The Departments of English and Religious Studies of St. Francis College and the Northeast Tolkien Society, will co-sponsor a conference, “The Silmarillion: Themes, Narratives, Comparative Studies,” on April 20-22, 2007. The event will commemorate the 30th anniversary of the 1977 publication of The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien, edited by Christopher Tolkien. The conference will be held at St. Francis College in downtown Brooklyn, New York.

The program will focus on the entire body of mythic narrative collectively known as “the Silmarillion,” in all the different versions of its parts written throughout Tolkien’s life. A wide range of interrelated subjects connected to the Silmarillion will be discussed. We invite proposals on the following topics:
  • The formation of the Silmarillion: its composition, worldview and languages
  • Themes and narratives of the Silmarillion; comparative studies
  • The Silmarillion in context: the relation of Tolkien’s myth to the work of other Inklings
  • Interdisciplinary approaches to all of the above topics
Proposals should be submitted as 1-page abstracts for 20-minute papers or as 8-10 page papers. We welcome proposals for complete panels as well as individual presentations. Preference will be given to proposals on the topics given above.

Proposals should be submitted January 22, 2007 by e-mail to both tolkien@stfranciscollege.edu and chairman@herenistarion.org or by regular mail to Department of Religious Studies, St. Francis College, 180 Remsen Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201.
