  • Bozzetti Di Patria. Il Belgio Nelle Avventure Di Tintin
    OLIVIER RoCHE BOZZETTI DI PATRIA IL BELGIO IMMAGINARIO NELLE AVVENTURE DI TiNTIN intin, giornalista e avventuriero creato nel 1929 da Hergé – pseudoni- mo di Georges Prosper Remi –, è uno dei maggiori successi del fumet- to mondiale. Il segno lasciato da Hergé e dalla sua “linea chiara” nel- la cultura del Novecento è indelebile, considerevole la sua influenza. Les Aventures de Tintin, con oltre 230 milioni di album venduti in tutto il mondo (al 2009) e tradotti, dal francese, in oltre 80 lingue o dialetti, hanno Tincontrato un notevole successo tra i giovani lettori di Asia, Africa e America, facendo leva sullo zoccolo duro rappresentato dal pubblico europeo. È proprio qui, nel vecchio continente, che si svolge gran parte delle storie di Tintin e dei suoi compagni; in Europa iniziano e terminano le avventure, i viaggi intorno al mondo degli eroi col ciuffo in testa: il cane Milù e il Capitano Haddock, il profes- sor Girasole e la diva Castafiore, la coppia di detective Dupond e Dupont. Remi nacque in Belgio nel 1907. Educato e cresciuto in un ambiente conserva- tore, ottenne il suo primo impiego nel quotidiano cattolico reazionario «Le XXe siècle», dove nel 1929 pubblicò la prima storia di Tintin, giusto alla vigilia delle celebrazioni per il centenario della nascita del regno del Belgio. Anche se, sull’onda del successo internazionale e delle innumerevoli riedizio- ni, Hergé avrebbe progressivamente cancellato le tracce del plat pays dalle sue tavole, Tintin è belga; anzi, più precisamente, «irrimediabilmente, intensamente e atemporalmente» brussellese – sottolineano Daniel Justens e Alain Préaux –, «malgrado il suo carattere universale, oggi oramai riconosciuto, e l’invadente presenza di certi francesi sull’analisi dell’opera di Hergé, Tintin resta fondamen- talmente un titi, uno di quei monelli che a Bruxelles vengono chiamati kejte»1.

  • Bovine Benefactories: an Examination of the Role of Religion in Cow Sanctuaries Across the United States
    BOVINE BENEFACTORIES: AN EXAMINATION OF THE ROLE OF RELIGION IN COW SANCTUARIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES _______________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board _______________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY ________________________________________________________________ by Thomas Hellmuth Berendt August, 2018 Examing Committee Members: Sydney White, Advisory Chair, TU Department of Religion Terry Rey, TU Department of Religion Laura Levitt, TU Department of Religion Tom Waidzunas, External Member, TU Deparment of Sociology ABSTRACT This study examines the growing phenomenon to protect the bovine in the United States and will question to what extent religion plays a role in the formation of bovine sanctuaries. My research has unearthed that there are approximately 454 animal sanctuaries in the United States, of which 146 are dedicated to farm animals. However, of this 166 only 4 are dedicated to pigs, while 17 are specifically dedicated to the bovine. Furthermore, another 50, though not specifically dedicated to cows, do use the cow as the main symbol for their logo. Therefore the bovine is seemingly more represented and protected than any other farm animal in sanctuaries across the United States. The question is why the bovine, and how much has religion played a role in elevating this particular animal above all others. Furthermore, what constitutes a sanctuary? Does

  • 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).

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.

    Transitional justice contradictions between Serbia and the European Union Post-war Serbia on its way to Europe through critical geopolitical eyes. Photo: PressEurop.eu Author: Jesper Remmen Bachelorthesis Geografie, planologie en milieu (GPM) Faculteit der Managementwetenschappen Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen June, 2013 Transitional justice contradictions between Serbia and the European Union Post-war Serbia on its way to Europe through critical geopolitical eyes. Photo: PressEurop.eu Author: Jesper Remmen Studentnumber: 4258207 Bachelorthesis Geografie, planologie en milieu (GPM) Faculteit der Managementwetenschappen Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen June, 2013 Supervisor: Olivier T. Kramsch Preface I still can slightly remember how I stared at the TV in 1995 at the age of seven. The massacre of Srebrenica had happened and I couldn’t understand it at all. Thousands of people were killed and I just couldn’t get a clue of how such thing could happen. It turned out to be the worst ethnic cleansing in Europe since World War II. With retroactive effect the Yugoslavia breakup and its wars kept me fascinating. With the trials of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in The Hague, just a hour and a half dive from my house and the questionable position and role of the Dutch militaries during the fall of Srebrenica, the Yugoslavia breakup stayed on the political and public agenda. Along the way I became very close friends with Jusmir, a Bosnian teammate from football and with that, I became friends with his whole family. Traces of the wars in Yugoslavia from which they fled to the Netherlands, are still very observable. From a wealthy Bosnian family, they became refugees with almost nothing in my own village.

  • 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.
