They have been the source of a wide range of adaptations, in theatre, radio, television, cinema, and computer gaming. He remains a strong influence on the comic book medium, particularly in Europe. Georges Prosper Remi [5] [6] was born on 22 May in his parental home in Etterbeek , Brussels, a central suburb in the capital city of Belgium. Remi developed a love of cinema, favouring Winsor McCay 's Gertie the Dinosaur and the films of Charlie Chaplin , Harry Langdon and Buster Keaton ; his later work in the comic strip medium displayed an obvious influence from them in style and content. Some of these illustrations were of German soldiers, because his four years of primary schooling at the Ixelles Municipal School No. He completed his secondary education in July at the top of his class. His Scoutmaster, Rene Weverbergh, encouraged his artistic ability, and published one of Remi's drawings in the newsletter of the Saint-Boniface Scouts, Jamais Assez Never Enough : his first published work. His work was first published under this name in December Instead he got a job in the paper's subscriptions department, starting in September Joining the first infantry regiment, he was also bored by his military training, but continued sketching and producing episodes of Totor. Authored in a paternalistic style that depicted the Congolese as childlike idiots, in later decades it would be accused of racism; however, at the time it was un-controversial and popular, with further publicity stunts held to increase sales. A redhead described by Pierre Assouline as "elegant and popular", she had obtained work as the secretary for Norbert Wallez. A mystery story, the plot began in Egypt before proceeding to Arabia and India, during which the recurring characters of Thomson and Thompson and Rastapopoulos were introduced. Zhang gave him lessons in Taoist philosophy, Chinese art and Chinese calligraphy, influencing not only his artistic style, but also his general outlook on life. The result was The Adventures of Jo, Zette, and Jocko , a series about a young brother and sister and their pet monkey. The next Tintin adventure was The Black Island — , which saw the character travel to Britain to battle counterfeiters and introduced a new antagonist, the German Dr. Demobbed within the month, he returned to Brussels and adopted a more explicit anti-German stance when beginning his next Tintin adventure, Land of Black Gold , which was set in the Middle East and featured Dr.

  • 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).

  • Automobile Advertising in Le Soir, Brussels 1905-1950
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Ghent University Academic Bibliography Automobile Advertising in Le Soir, Brussels 1905-1950 As a result of intense mechanization and automation during the second half of the nineteenth century, the market economy in industrialized countries gradually was transformed from a production economy into a consumption economy. In the words of Stanley Resor, head of the leading American advertising agency J. Walter Thompson, cited by Fox in his pioneering work The Mirror Makers: ‘The chief economic problem today is no longer the production of goods but their distribution. The shadow of overproduction, with its attendant periods of unemployment and suffering, is the chief menace to the present industrial system’ (Fox, 1984, 94). Advertisements were to play an important role in this new constellation. During the first decades of the twentieth century a whole array of persuasion techniques were being developed. John E. Kennedy’s ‘reason-why’ shortly after the turn of the century (Fox, 1984, 50), the genteel pictures of the 1920s and the hard-boiled copy of the crisis years (Marchand, 1985, 285-334) were to join the traditional price/quality arguments, in an attempt to convince broad strata of the population of purchasing objects which until then they had produced and exchanged outside of the market, or never even possessed before. This has been called ‘modern advertising’, and the magic word is ‘appeal’. In trying to appeal to the potential customer advertising has made use of about any idea, image or value society had to offer.

  • Discussion Guide
    n o s a e P.O.V. 19S Discussion Guide Tintin and I A Film by Anders Østergaard www.pbs.org/pov P.O.V. n o Tintin and I s Discussion Guide | a 19e S Letter from the Filmmaker FREDERIKSBERG, DENMARK, MAY 2006 Dear Colleague, It is exciting to know that you will be spending time discussing my film Tintin and I. Most probably, you will discover new aspects of the story that I am not even aware of myself. And it would be unwise of me to supply you with a fact sheet on how the film should be understood. But you may appreciate knowing a bit about why I was driven to make this film in the first place. On the surface, Tintin and I is about the art of comics and about modern European history—and how the two, in this case, are tangled amazingly together. But on a deeper level, Hergé’s life story also has an existential note, which may have been the real reason I got involved in it. To me, it is the story of a dreamer who wants to turn his back on the boredom of his upbringing and who looks for mystery and adventure in his imaginary world. And at a young age, he strikes a deal with the devil, so to speak. His editor allows him to keep on dreaming on a monthly salary if he stays within a set of strictly Catholic values. This pact becomes a great vehicle for Hergé’s creativity, but it also leads him into personal disaster at the end of the war.

With his passion for unveiling the truth, Tintin has become a global sensation for his intense desire to solve mysteries, his love for adventure, his unscathed honesty and his love for his friends and companions. Conceived as a character drawn to entice a readership comprising primarily of children, Tintin and his escapades charmed the young-adult and the adult readers too. A childhood hero for many, Tintin, through his numerous adventures, had travelled to places around the world, thus exposing the readers to a varied range of cultures and rituals that makes the narratives all the more interesting. Immensely favoured by readers of all age, it was only a matter of time that Tintin’s antics would feature prominently in any course of popular literature. And here we are, in a post-colonial country, reading Tintin in Tibet in a class of under-graduate students, and I guess, enjoying it? Meet Herge, the creator! The Belgian cartoonist Georges Prosper Remi won accolades under his pen name Herge, and one could wonder whether Herge had any idea that his pen name would go on to be immortalized when he used it to claim his comics.

  • How Comics Communicate on the Screen Telecinematic Discourse in Comic-To-Film Adaptations
    In: Christian Hoffmann & Monika Kirner-Ludwig (eds.). 2020. Telecinematic Stylistics. London: Bloomsbury. 263-284. 11 How comics communicate on the screen Telecinematic discourse in comic-to-film adaptations Christina Sanchez-Stockhammer 1 Introduction Recent years have seen a large number of commercially successful screen adaptations of printed comic books, such as Kenneth Branagh’s Thor (2011) or the award-winning series of Batman films (e.g. Christopher Nolan’s2008 The Dark Knight).1 Most of these screen adaptations of comics, like most studies of ‘graphic cinema’ (e.g. Booker 2007; Gordon, Jancovich and McAllister 2007; Rauscher 2010), focus on relatively dark superheroes.2 Against this background, one box-office success stands out due to its friendly and positive hero for all audiences: Steven Spielberg’s The Adventures of Tintin (2011), which is based on the comic book series Tintin by the Belgian artist Hergé (a pseudonym for Georges Rémi; cf. Peeters 1990: 9). In Hergé’s comics, the young journalist Tintin experiences exciting adventures all over the world in the company of his dog Snowy. This chapter pays tribute to Hergé’s popular comic book universe by investigating the relation between Spielberg’s film adaptation and Hergé’s comics from a linguistic perspective. It sets out to fill an important research gap by exploring how language use in the scriptovisual3 medium of the comic (which combines still images and printed text) is rendered in the audiovisual medium of film (which combines moving images and spoken language). After discussing general linguistic similarities between comics and films and the use of language in each of the two media, this chapter compares the representation of voice, accent, thoughts, talking animals, sounds and written language in Spielberg’s screen adaptation of Tintin to the original printed comic books.
