I do not recall from whom – someone close enough to the committee for me to trust their statement inherently, but that is all that I can recall. <br /><br />Your brief description sounds interesting enough for me – if it is accepted in some other context, I'd be grateful to know :) Parma-kentahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05968384761798552449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4120372371184097111.post-10214149892128819522021-07-12T03:36:31.205+02:002021-07-12T03:36:31.205+02:00I did actually propose a paper that, while not a p...I did actually propose a paper that, while not a pro-Catholic reading of Tolkien, did suggest how the idea of identity (which is something slightly different from identity politics), is an idea at tension with a number of demonstrable Tolkienian concerns.

That's their right, of course, and I'm not criticizing the organizers, but it might suggest that other types of papers might have been proposed, but just not accepted.Stratofanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03942461244493426575noreply@blogger.com
