In anticipation of the Tolkien TV adaptation by Amazon Prime, this year’s Seminar invites speakers to explore the topic of adapting Tolkien to the screen and beyond. Papers may consider, but are not limited to:
- Adapting Tolkien’s works to stage and screen
- Fan-made content
- Illustrating Middle-earth
- Tolkienian pastiche
- Other adaptations: games, merchandise and Hobbit-hole hotels
Following the untimely death of Christopher Tolkien, we would like to recognise his immeasurable contribution to the field of Tolkien studies with a panel discussion on Christopher Tolkien’s interaction with his father’s work.
