Eschertalk: What Would Tolkien Do? Hope and Responsibility in Times of Change

About

Automatically translated from GermanShow original

This panel discussion brings together Tolkien scholars and cultural practitioners to explore what individuals can do in the face of climate crisis, social upheaval and information overload. Moderated by Lukas Ritzel, the conversation draws on a recent reference to Tolkien in a papal encyclical and examines the importance of personal engagement and concrete local action. The speakers consider whether small-scale efforts – such as planting a tree – might have more lasting impact than digital activism. The event accompanies the exhibition «Fantastische Karten» at Zentralbibliothek Zürich.
