  • Tintin and the Adventure of Transformative and Critical Fandom
    . Volume 17, Issue 2 November 2020 Tintin and the adventure of transformative and critical fandom Tem Frank Andersen & Thessa Jensen, Aalborg University, Denmark Abstract: Using Roland Barthes’ and John Fiske’s notion of the readerly, writerly, and producerly text, this article provides an analysis and a tentative categorization of chosen transformative, fanmade texts for the comic book series The Adventures of Tintin. The focus is on the critical transformation of, and engagement with, the original text by academics, professional fans, and fans of popular culture. The analysis identifies different ways of transformational engagement with the original text: ranging from the academic writerly approach of researchers, over professional fans rewriting and critically engaging with the original text, to fanfiction fans reproducing heteroromantic tropes in homoerotic stories, fans of popular culture using Tintin figurines to document their own travels, and finally, fans who use Tintin covers as a way to express critical political sentiments. With Barthes and Fiske these groups are defined by their way of approaching the original text, thus working either in a readerly producerly or writerly producerly way, depending on how critical and political the producerly attitude is in regard to the original text. Keywords: The Adventures of Tintin, fan albums, fanfiction, fan communities; readerly, writerly, producerly reception Introduction In recent years, it has been quiet around the forever young reporter Tintin and his faithful friends Snowy and Captain Haddock. A motion capture movie about three of Tintin’s adventures failed to garner a larger following, despite having Steven Spielberg as the director (The Adventures of Tintin, Columbia Pictures, 2011).

ISBN: Note: English text in booklet attached to the Tintin and Alph-Art of the front cover. Title: Tintin's last adventure: Tintin and alph-art. While in town, Captain Haddock saw Castafiore. In order to avoid her, he dashed into the nearest doorway. Little did the Captain know that he was walking into the Fourcart Gallery where an exhibition of Ramo Nash's Alph-art was being held - precisely the place where Castafiore was heading! Unable to escape, the Captain met the gallery's owner and Castafiore, the latter talked him into buying a piece of Alph-art, a letter H in perspex. While in the gallery, Mr Fourcart mentioned to Haddock his wish to see Tintin about an important matter. Later, before he could see Tintin, Fourcart met an untimely death. Tintin suspected that Fourcart's death was linked with the recent deaths of other famous art dealers. Tintin's investigation led him to the Tintin and Alph-Art belonging to Endaddine, a famous Cult leader, and a friend of Castafiore. The villa turned out to be a factory for faking old Masterpieces. Soon after discovering this criminal Tintin and Alph-Art, Tintin found himself a prisoner of Endaddine's, dreading the prospect Tintin and Alph-Art becoming the next piece of Alph-art Endaddine planned to pour liquid polyester over Tintin.

  • The White Man's Gaze and Hergé's Tintin
    The White Man's Gaze and Hergé’s Tintin: Analysing Comics of Colour Sucheta Mandal1 Abstract: This article aims to discuss the ‘Othering’ in Hergé’s comic books series The Adventures of Tintin from the postcolonial point of view. The notion of ‘the East’ and ‘the West’ will be discussed in this article. Edward Said’s idea of ‘orientalism’ represents the colonial ideology of ‘the West’ and it also strongly emphasizes on the Occidental notion of Orient which constructs the Eastern world as the land of mystery and evil, and its inhabitants as barbaric, lazy, and superstitious. I have selected two adventures of Tintin – Tintin in the Congo and Tintin in Tibet, to establish my ideas. I also seek to examine the nature, landscape, and the biogeographical locus of Tintin’s adventures. My focus is on the idea of whether Tintin, a boy- scout, is superior to the so-called ‘others’ or it is a mere representation. Keywords: Other, Orient, White man, Imperial gaze, Representation. 1 Ex-student (2019), Department of English, Bankura University, Bankura, West Bengal, India- 722155. E-mail: [email protected] 87 Several African countries, Asia and South America were dominated by the Europeans. In those countries, modernity had been introduced by the rule and dominance of the colonizers over the native cultures. Colonialism thus can be described as the process of settlement by Europeans. “Colonialism is a violent conjugation where the sense of self develops through negotiation rather than a separation, a relation rather than a disjunction, with the Other.” (Nayar, 2010) This settlement was the mechanism of exploitation — exploitation of economy, cultures and natural resources.

  • Toward Fulfillment 1950–1958
    9. Toward Fulfi llment 1950–1958 that he knew how to be generous is undeniable. Ingratitude was not in his character. He never abandoned a friend in adversity. Yet these virtues belonged to Georges Remi rather than to Hergé. Having begun a new start in midlife, the illustrator maintained a curious balancing act: the more he delegated work, the more he drew all the attention to himself; the more he was surrounded by others, the more he wanted to present the image of the solitary artist. He insisted repeat- edly that the adventures of Tintin were the work of a single author and not of a factory or a collective. Interviewers sometimes had to persist to get Hergé to recognize the contributions of others and to praise their work. Given the vanity of artists there is perhaps nothing paradoxical about this. In Hergé’s case, however, his self-involvement grew the moment his work became a truly group effort. No longer was Edgar Jacobs backing up Hergé, occasionally joined by temporary helpers. Now there was a team at his house working full time. Either Hergé denied them rights, or he would praise them as if they were Benedictine monks working at their illuminated manuscripts. Whether disparaged or praised, they constituted the Hergé Studios. The company was created on April 6, 1950, shortly after Belgium, always unsettled about the “royal issue,” voted in a referendum in favor of the eventual return of Léopold III, who had been exiled to Pregny-Chambéry near Geneva, Switzerland. (It disturbed Hergé, a fervent royalist, of course, that the king led with a slight majority among the Flemish voters but not 147 148 part iii: recognition among the Walloons.) Start-up capital amounted to 250,000 francs (current equivalent, $44,240).
