  • Belgique Francophone, Terre De B.D
    Belgique francophone, terre de B.D. François Pierlot Frantseseko lektorea / Lector de francés Laburpena Komikien historia Suitzan hasi zen 1827an, Rodolphe Töpffer-ek “litera- tura iruditan” deiturikoa sortu zuenean. Printzipioa sinplea da: istorio bat kontatzen du marrazki bidez, eta istorioa azaltzeko testuak eransten ditu. Hogei urte geroago, Wilhelm Bush alemaniarrak Max und Moritz sortu zuen, marrazkietan dinamismo handia zuen umorezko komikia. Gero, batez ere egunkarietan agertzen hasi ziren komikiak. Eguneroko prentsak ere gero eta arrakasta handiagoa zuenez, komikiak Europa osora za- baldu ziren. Egunkarientzat oso garrantzitsua zen komiki onak izatea, irakur- le asko erakartzen zituztelako. Erresuma Batuan ere arrakasta izan zuten ko- mikiek. AEBtik, bestalde, koloretako argitalpenak iristen hasi ziren, testuen ordez bunbuiloak zituztenak. Belgikan, 1929an hasi ziren komikiak argitaratzen, Le petit vingtième haurrentzako egunkarian. Apaiz oso kontserbadore bat zen erredakzioburua, eta umeei komunisten alderako gorrotoa barneratzeko pertsonaia asmatzeko eskatu zion Hergé marrazkilari gazteari. Horrela sortu zen Tintin. Lehenengo aleak Tintin sobieten herrialdean zuen izenburua. Hergék bere pertsonaiaren «gobernua» hartu baino lehen, ideologiaz beteriko beste bi abentura ere izan ziren (Tintin Kongon eta Tintin Amerikan). Tintinekin hasitako goraldiaren ondoren, beste marrazki-aldizkari bel- gikar batzuk sortu ziren; besteak beste, Bravo! agerkaria. Komiki belgikarrak 1940ko hamarkadatik aurrera nagusitu ziren mundu frantsestunean, bi agerkari zirela bitarte: Le Journal Tintin eta Le Journal de Spirou, hurrenez hurren, Hergé eta Franquin marrazkilari zirela. Bi astekariek talentu gazteak hartu zituzten, aukera bat emateko. Komikien ibilbidea finka- tu zuten, klasizismo mota bat ezarrita. Journal de Spirou izenekoa 1938an sortu zuen Dupuis argitaletxeak, eta umorea landu zuen. Pertsonaiek oso jatorrak dirudite, grafismo biribilari esker (horregatik aipatzen da “sudur lodiaren” estiloa).

  • 1 How to Select Books for Teaching to Children: Taking a Critical Look at Books Through a Pedagogical Lens Timothy G. Weih, Ph.D
    Weih, T. G. (2015). How to Select Books for Teaching to Children: Taking a Critical Look at Books Through a Pedagogical Lens. How to Select Books for Teaching to Children: Taking a Critical Look at Books Through a Pedagogical Lens Timothy G. Weih, Ph.D. University of Northern Iowa, USA 2015 Abstract The purpose of this paper is to guide the process of selecting meaningful books to use in pre-K-6 classrooms. With thousands of children’s books being published each year, it is difficult for teachers to select which ones hold the most potential to inspire students towards a life time of reading pleasure and purpose. This paper outlines selection criteria and provides lesson examples grounded within past and current pedagogical research. Keywords Children’s Literature; Elementary Students; Reading Instruction; Book Choice; Literary Relationships; Book Selection Criteria; Literature Instruction; Evaluating Literature; Elementary Education; Reading for Pleasure; Reading for Purpose; Teaching Fiction; Teaching Nonfiction; Literature-Based Instruction; Reading Fluency; Reading Comprehension Teaching children about literature should not be just about teaching reading and language skills (Serafini, 2011). Primarily it should be about teaching relationships between books and children see Weih, 2014a). The natures of these relationships already exist within children from an early age (see Weih, 2014b); however, it is the role of the teacher to bring these relationships to a conscious existence within each child. For this to occur, children need to understand that books can be part of their lives, that every book contains embedded meaning beneath the words- books are not just words on a page (Pantaleo, 2004).

  • 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.
