Sturgis<\/a>will discuss the imaginative and expressive potential for fan fiction through an examination of fan-authored stories about the long-ignored <i>Lord of the Rings<\/i> character Rosie Cotton. Dr. Sturgis will demonstrate how fan writers use Rosie as a voice for their own identities and interests (making her in turn a domestic paragon, a sexual iconoclast, and a supernatural changeling), and how they strive to make Rosie an equal to the male characters in Tolkien&#146;s works. This academic lecture is based on Dr. Sturgis&#8217;s forthcoming article in the scholarly journal <i>Mythlore<\/i>. <\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.belmont.edu\/template_calendar.cfm?week=3_28_2005&#038;month=3&#038;day=28&#038;year=2005&#038;view=3&#038;type=user\">Belmont University Events Calendar<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to Amy for the info!
