I10-R377-article-434452025-11-29T20:09:11Z Temporal artificiality or magic in the Elven realms in The Lord of the Rings La artificialidad temporal o magia en los reinos élficos en The Lord of the Rings Alfageme Triviño, Rocío time magic immortality Tolkien Saint Augustine tiempo magia inmortalidad Tolkien San Agustín In this article we will seek to delve into the temporal problems present in the elven kingdoms (particularly in Lothlórien) of Middle-earth created by the writer J. R. R. Tolkien. The analysis will be carried out from a metaphysical and religious perspective, so we will use concepts and ideas from the Confessions of Saint Augustine. To understand the temporal perception within The Lord of the Rings, it will be necessary to revisit the theme of mortality and immortality, since these are central to the development of the story. The purpose will be to comprehend Lothlórien as an elven creation that functions as a temporal escape within the novel, considering the metaphysical consequences that this presents. Furthermore, we will seek to demonstrate that time turns out to be a central axis in Tolkien's work. En el presente artículo se buscará ahondar en la problemática temporal presente en los reinos élficos (particularmente en Lothlórien) de la Tierra Media creada por el escritor J. R. R. Tolkien. El análisis será realizado desde una perspectiva metafísica y religiosa, por lo que utilizaremos conceptos e ideas de las Confesiones de San Agustín. Para comprender la percepción temporal dentro de The Lord of the Rings, será necesario retomar el tema de la mortalidad y la inmortalidad, ya que estos son centrales en el desarrollo de la historia. El propósito será comprender Lothlórien como una creación élfica que funciona como un escape temporal dentro de la novela, teniendo en cuenta las consecuencias metafísicas que este presenta. A su vez, buscaremos demostrar que el tiempo resulta ser un eje central en la obra de Tolkien.
