  • 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.

  • 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.

In contrast to scholars who situate popular genres outside of political thinking, or conversely read the “messages” of popular and especially children’s literatures homogeneously as ideology, I argue that BD adventures, including Westerns, engaged openly and variously with contemporary geopolitical conflicts. Chapter 1 relates the early popularity of wilderness and desert stories in both the United States and France to shared histories and myths of territorial expansion, colonization, and settlement.
