International audience ; The work of J. R. R. Tolkien has been given new attention by the film versions ofThe Lord of the Rings. It has thus been brought to the notice of an even widerpublic than the novels had won for themselves, no doubt increasing the number ofTolkien readers, but with the drawback that many will remain content with havingseen the screen adaptations. This has entailed some shifts in the reception of Tolkien,which are sometimes very close to misrepresentation, mostly for lack of betterknowledge. Therefore, Tolkien's literary achievement deserves to be examined inthe context of the twentieth-century history of ideas, albeit only to fend off hastyevaluations. It is worth remembering that Tolkien, apart from being a philologist,was also a Roman Catholic author, coming from the cultural background of theOxford Movement. Many of his ideas would earn him a place among the so-called"right-wing anarchists," whose works have in common to be eloquently critical ofsome aspects of modernity. ; L'oeuvre de J. R. R. Tolkien a été remise au goût du jour par les versions cinématographiquesdu Seigneur des Anneaux.

Cela a entraîné certains déplacements dans la réceptionde Tolkien, qui s'apparentent souvent à des déformations, dues le plus souvent à unmanque de connaissance approfondie. L'oeuvre de Tolkien mérite d'être replacéedans son contexte de l'histoire des idées du XXe siècle.

R&R is a better term than C&B. This is because C&B has a negative connotation, while R&R is positive. R&R has a historical root. In every culture, religions, we have the evidence of rewards and punishment for workers. In India we have concrete evidence of rewarding good performers, and also punishing the poor performers during Mughals' dynasty, i.e., before British India. With social reforms, however, such punishment has been abolished. Today R&R practices are institutionalized in organizations globally. However, such R&R practice in several organizations is merged with C&B. In many organizations R&R is planned and managed by their strategic level, while C&B is left to the HR functions, causing the problem of integration. Thus despite having R&R embedded in their organizational culture, such organizations fail to reap the advantages of R&R in true sense. The paper argues R&R and C&B cannot be isolated, hence it requires integration. The idea was debated in a known social media. Results of the debate are inconclusive. The author argues, as R&R is gaining more importance, and today practiced by organizations across the globe, why not we re-name our traditional C&B to R&R and brings it under HR functions, R&R being more holistic.
