Resumo: This article focuses on the theodicy concept that emerges from the work construction of The Lord of the Rings, by J. R. R. Tolkien. We compared the theorization issued by Collin Campbell regarding a supposed western theodicy change, which was being influenced in culture and religion to adhere to a concept of epistemologically oriental origin. It was realized that despite the apparent possibility of a pluralization in theodicy construction, which would corroborate Campbell’s premise, it is not possible to accuse Tolkien or Jackson of escaping a traditional theodicy construction from the western perspective. However, it is possible to argue that, although the construction of the narrative itself does not have orientalist traits, its reception was not necessarily seen in this way, which was not the object of the present study, but shows interesting perspectives and developments of this discussion.

R. R. Tolkien. Buscou-se comparar a teorização de Collin Campbell quanto a uma suposta mudança da teodiceia ocidental, que estaria sendo influenciada na cultura e na religião para aderir a um conceito epistemologicamente oriental. Para tanto, se utilizou a análise fílmica e do discurso para abordar três cenas da obra. Percebeu-se que, apesar da aparente possibilidade de uma pluralização na construção teodiceica, não é possível acusar Tolkien ou Jackson de fugirem a uma tradicional construção de teodiceia a partir da perspectiva ocidental. Entretanto, é plausível argumentar que, apesar da construção da narrativa em si não aparentar traços orientalistas, mostra interessantes perspectivas e desdobramentos da presente discussãoPontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2020-12-11info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/rever/article/view/5186910.23925/1677-1222.2020vol20i3a4REVER: Journal for the Study of Religion; Vol. 20 No. 3 (2020): Religião e cultura pop; 41-58REVER: Revista de Estudos da Religião; v. 20 n. 3 (2020): Religião e cultura pop; 41-581677-1222reponame:Rever (São Paulo.
