“Honors Seminar Topic I: Perspectives on Tolkien” (HON 100-90) will be offered on Tuesdays from 5:30 to 8:20 p.m. in the Honors House and will be led by Assistant Professor of English Trista Merrill and Assistant Professor of Computing Sciences Larry Dugan. This course will critically examine the lasting influence and power of the Lord of the Rings saga in its different media. Students will read the novels, view the films, and play the multiplayer online game in order to explore how different media handle the same material. Students will discuss such issues as character and plot development, storytelling styles, cultural and historical contexts, benefits and limitations of various media, identity and role-playing games, and the role of audience in storytelling. Placing the three media into their socio-cultural contexts will allow us to explore such issues as the role of storyteller, the importance of the visual, and the role of ‘game’ in today’s society.
