El temps en els relats trasllueix el caràcter cíclic de la concepció cristiana del temps. Alguns personatges tracten de fugir del rigor del temps cronològic. Per això, de vegades els herois anhelen fer extensibles les etapes de la seua vida, deturar-les; o bé ingressen en dimensions temporals on passat i present es comuniquen. L’espai en les rondalles és intensament connotat. En aquest sentit s’aparta d’aquells que ha creat la modernitat (sales d’espera, punts de trobada, instal·lacions públiques, etc.) i que alguns autors han anomenat no-llocs. Estudiem la manera com els personatges viuen en comunió amb la terra, com el clima determina el seu esdevenir vital, la forma com la natura aglutina motius narratius, i la voluntat del nostre autor de reproduir espais viscuts creant una geofantasia pròpia.

ROBERT DARNTON Method, Method, what do you want from rae? You know that I have eaten of the fruit of the subconscious. JULES LAFORGUE Since 1954 more than 100 million copies of The Lord of the Rings (1954-1955) and about 50 million of The Hobbit (1937) have been sold in some 40 languages. The audience figures for the films, directed by Peter Jackson and based on the story of Frodo, are even more spectacular. The commercialisation of Tolkien's fiction, with related Tshirts, rings, computer games, posters and dolls, is on its way to becoming a business that produces as much as Disney. These faets indicate that the Ring fantasy is a media and 4 The Imagery in J.R.R. Tolkien 's fantasy of Middle-earth form, cultural studies, assisted by comparative and literary genre studies, provide a very flexible and productive field. Tolkien's works will not be treated as independent objects, but will be examined within their cultural context, taking into consideration the weight of each associated notion. In this way, we can establish a bridge between literary theory and material culture. Intellectual work is incomplete unless it returns to the world of political and cultural power and responds to the challenges of history. Unlike other theoretical approaches, cultural studies refuse to define culture by isolating it from other manifestations of social life, and for this reason they include among their theoretical concepts hegemony, ideology, identity and representation, in such a way that they establish a relationship wíth the elements that make up our lives (Grossberg 1992: 6, 14). Ideology is the most important concept in cultural studies, to such an extent that it is difficult to distinguish between this notion and culture as such. We are conscious of this fact and for this reason we have tried to grasp the worldvíew behind the aesthetic resources typical of each literary genre that has inspired our author. In this way, we shall devote specific sections to the analysis of the ideology and reception of gothic and Tolkienian fantasies, to the political model of Middleearth and the feudal society, and to the fairytale as a transmitter of moral valúes. Cultural studies are a discipline whose interests and methods are changing continuously because they are interacting constantly with their social context and because they cannot enjoy their own authority (During 1993: 17). Lawrence Grossberg has condensed attempts to define cultural studies down to a formula indicating that they are "an interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, and sometimes counter-disciplinary field that operates in the tensión between its tendencies to embrace both a broad, anthropological and a more narrowly humanistic conception of culture" (Grossberg 1992: 4). Following the content of this definition, we shall study Tolkien's fiction in connection with other forms of cultural production, such as folktale or myth, and also analyse it with regard to the medieval and modern social and historical structures that inspired our author. Similarly, we shall try to understand the social effects of Tolkienian discourse in order to connect them to the social interests that have enabled the dissemination of the Ring stories. In our work on Tolkienian fantasy, we shall not be interested in the process of cultural production, but instead use a text-based approach.

Particularmente, tratamos de la capacidad mágica de las fórmulas verbales empleadas, de las creencias supersticiosas tales como el naturismo y el animismo, y la lógica que se esconde detrás del empleo de objetos con propiedades mágicas.
