Conclusion ……………………………………………………………... 64 Works cited 2 Abstract This thesis introduces mythical archetypes in J.R.R. Tolkien and J.K. Rowling’s works. Tolkien’s legendarium is filled with various elements from other mythologies and if read side by side many points in which these myths cross with paths with his creations can be found. In this thesis Tolkien’s works represent the literary myth. Rowling’s Harry Potter series is a fantasy series targeted to children without the same level of mythology attached. High fantasy represented by Tolkien is known for being myth like in its nature. Tolkien has stated in Letter 131 that he wanted to create a mythology for England and knowingly borrowed elements from world’s mythologies and adapted them to his own writing.

    l Artistic Director’s Note l Welcome to one of our warmest and most popular Christmas Revels, celebrating traditional material from the five Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. We cannot wait to introduce you to our little secretive tomtenisse; to the rollicking and intri- cate traditional dances, the exquisitely mesmerizing hardingfele, nyckelharpa, and kantele; to Ilmatar, heaven’s daughter; to wild Louhi, staunch old Väinämöinen, and dashing Ilmarinen. This “journey to the Northlands” beautifully expresses the beating heart of a folk community gathering to share its music, story, dance, and tradition in the deep midwinter darkness. It is interesting that a Christmas Revels can feel both familiar and entirely fresh. Washing- ton Revels has created the Nordic-themed show twice before. The 1996 version was the first show I had the pleasure to direct. It was truly a “folk” show, featuring a community of people from the Northlands meeting together in an annual celebration. In 2005, using much of the same script and material, we married the epic elements of the story with the beauty and mystery of the natural world. The stealing of the sun and moon by witch queen Louhi became a rich metaphor for the waning of the year and our hope for the return of warmth and light. To create this newest telling of our Nordic story, especially in this season when we deeply need the circle of community to bolster us in the darkness, we come back to the town square at a crossroads where families meet at the holiday to sing the old songs, tell the old stories, and step the circling dances to the intricate stringed fiddles.

    Le magazine de l’association du Festival International du Film de La Rochelle www.festival-larochelle.org Juin 2012 Ce magazine vous est offert par l’association du Festival International du Film de La Rochelle éditorial 3 HAUTE FIDÉLITÉ 40 ans... Le Festival, c’est une belle histoire qui ne pourrait se passer nulle part ailleurs qu’à La Rochelle! Voilà 40 ans qu’il garde la fraîcheur de ses premières aventures. Les vents contraires, parfois les contraintes économiques, les nouvelles donnes techniques, comme l’invasion du numérique, n’ont pas entamé son insaisissable particularité. C’est une histoire qui a porté l’équipe de Prune Engler et de Sylvie Pras à la barre de cette grande fête du cinéma. Elles ont choisi un cap, celui de l’indépendance et de la transmission. Le Festival, c’est aussi une histoire d’engagement et de passion, que nous partageons avec tous nos partenaires. Leur soutien est primordial, surtout quand la Culture est la grande oubliée de certains débats. C’est une histoire avec vous, rochelais et festivaliers... Vos témoignages dans ce numéro en sont un bel exemple. Cette édition nous emportera encore vers des horizons lointains, en accueillant des réalisateurs, pour certains interdits ou encore peu connus, qui deviendront peut-être un jour, comme Nanni Moretti, Président du jury d’un autre Festival… Les festivaliers ne s’y trompent pas quand ils viennent des quatre coins de France, Dunkerque, Marseille, Colmar ou Brest, pour découvrir le dernier fi lm en avant-première de Michael Haneke, rencontrer Roman Polanski, découvrir l’œuvre photographique de Nuri Bilge Ceylan, ou simplement s’imprégner d’images venues d’ailleurs, du Tibet, du Portugal ou de l’Orient.

VOLUME TWO No. 260 EVEWMAN'S ME VOLUME TWO 'As the Kalevala holds up its bright mirror to the life of the Finns moving among the first long shadows of medieval civilization it suggests to our minds the proto-twilight of Homeric Greece. Its historic background is the misty age of feud and foray between the people of Kaleva and their more ancient neighbours of Pohjola, possibly the Lapps. Poetically it recounts the long quest of that singular and prolific talisman, the Sampo, and ends upon the first note of Christianity, the introduction of which was completed in the fourteenth century. Heroic but human, its men and women march boldly through the fifty cantos, raiding, drinking, abducting, outwitting, weep- ing, but always active and always at odds with the very perils that confront their countrymen today: the forest, with its savage animals; its myriad lakes and rocks and torrents; wind, fire, and darkness; and the cold.' From the Introduction to this Every- man Edition by J. B. C. Grundy. The picture on the front of this wrapper by A . Gallen- Kallela illustrates the passage in the 'Kalevala' where the mother of Lemminkdinen comes upon the scattered limbs of her son by the banks of the River of Death.
