Tintin Needs His Other: A Study of Othering and Colonial Politics in “The Adventures of Tintin”
Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 9
Abstract
I aim to show in this paper how the identity of Tintin as the white savior is predicated upon the othering of the colonized peoples and the formation of derogatory racial stereotypes. I have also included concepts like mimicry, resistance and hybridity.
