  Postmodern Tintin « Theory my culture
Anyway, I find it so peculiar that Tintin’s author himself came to be embarrassed by his depiction of Africans as animals and the plot line of Tintin and his dog becoming gods in the eyes of Africans, yet contemporary readers and distributors can’t quite see the same thing.
Tintin’s author, Georges Remi, hails from Belgium, that funky little home of King Leopold, who reduced the population of Congo by one-half (murder, starvation, disease) when under his colonial control.
The Tintin case is postmodernity par excellence, that is, problematic postmodernity par excellence.

  Tintin
Tintin was largely based on Hergž©'s earlier character Totor, a boy-scout with a striking resemblance to Tintin.
In the later comic book series, Tintin is a young Belgian reporter (as well as an accomplished fighter and pilot) who becomes involved in dangerous cases in which he takes heroic action to save the day.
Tintin no longer actively seeks out adventure but rather gets taken along with what happens around him: this is especially evident in Flight 714 and Picaros.

 Reference.com/Encyclopedia/The Adventures of Tintin
Tintin is a reporter, and Hergé uses this to present the character in a number of adventures which were contemporaneous to the period in which he was working (most notably, the Bolshevik uprising in Russia and the Second World War) and sometimes even prescient (the moon landings).
In Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, the Bolsheviks were presented as the villains of the piece, with Hergé drawing on Moscow Unveiled, a work given to him by Wallez and authored by Joseph Douillet, the former Belgian consul in Russia.
A page which presented Tintin killing a rhinoceros by drilling a hole in the animal's back and inserting a stick of dynamite was deemed excessive, and Hergé substituted a page which saw the rhino accidentally discharge Tintin's rifle whilst the erstwhile hunter snoozed under a tree.

 Ideology of Tintin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tintin's first album, Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, was crafted on the orders of Hergé's superiors, to be anti-Soviet propaganda of limited outlook.
Tintin in the Congo reflected the dominant colonialist ideology at that time.
For the first time, Tintin seems to be flesh and blood, and perhaps even has weaknesses; for instance, he is at first uncharacteristically unwilling to travel to San Theodoros, where his friends have been jailed on trumped-up charges.

 ideology - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about ideology
Set of ideas, beliefs, and opinions about the nature of people and society, providing a framework for a theory about how people should live, as well as how society is or should be organized.
A nation's ideology is usually reflected in the political system it creates.
This, in turn, was countered by the theory of the social contract as the basis of security, which, however unhistorical, became a powerful weapon against authoritarian rule in the hands of John Locke and others.

 Buzzwords Blog: 3AM Magazine: 3:AM REVIEW: TOM McCARTHY'S TINTIN AND THE SECRET OF LITERATURE
Tintin is master of the dummy-chamber: "he uncovers [treasure] in order to hide [filiation], deciphers in order to help re-encrypt, marks in order to erase".
McCarthy, like Serge Tisseron in Tintin et le secret d'Herge, explores the possibility that it is Captain Haddock's crypt we enter again and again, and points to the parallels between the rumours of Herge's own family life and that of Haddock, namely the possibility that both are of aristocratic descent.
Tintin literally means 'nothing' -- "his face, round as an O with two pinpricks for eyes, is what Herge himself described as 'the degree zero of typeage' -- a typographic vanishing point" -- and is like Joseph Conrad's Kurtz, "hollow at the core".

 Notes on the Cinema Stylographer: Tintin and I, 2003
A remarkably accurate, painstakingly researched, and culturally attuned adventure, Remi's art was elevated by his collaboration with a Chinese sculptor and university student named Chang Chong-jen whom he had befriended at the instigation of advisor and University of Louvain professor, Abbé Gosset.
As the film subsequently illustrates, it is this change in perspective that proves particularly insightful with respect to two subsequent Tintin serials as they chronicled personal turmoil within Remi's increasingly aimless and emotionally uncertain life.
Tintin was also my childhood hero, and the political subtext was lost on me then.

There's an infamous scene in the latter where Tintin is giving a geography lesson to native students in a missionary school: "My dear friends, today I am going to talk to you about your country: Belgium!" To avoid further controversy, later editions changed this scene into a maths lesson.

In trying to give some explanations of the way Tintin and his world are typified by Hergé I discovered some ideologies that were of great importance to Hergé at the time when he was writing the comic strips.
In his first adventure, Tintin in the Soviet Union, Tintin is fighting the communists, in line with the common feeling that the Bolsheviks were a danger to the democratic countries.
Peeters: 'Why Tintin's adventures are able to fascinate both children and adults might be due to the fact that everyone can pick out something to his or her liking.

Tintin soon grew so popular in his homeland, that the following year thousands of his young readers flocked to the capital's railway station to greet him, played by an actor, returned from Russia.
When Tintin in Tibet was translated as Tintin in Chinese Tibet, Hergé's widow, Fanny Rodwell, close to the Tibetan people, insisted that the whole print run be pulped and replaced by the unaltered title.
Tintin first travelled to the New World on his third mission in 1931, but somehow his brand of multi-cultural awareness has never made his books click in America, where annual sales reach only 100,000 copies.

The Adventures of Tintin (Les Aventures de Tintin) is a series of comic strip narratives created by Georges Remi under the pseudonym Hergé (a reversal of his initials, R G, as pronounced in French).

The value of "Tintin in the Land of the Soviets" is as much historical as it is literary since this is the first of Les Aventures de Tintin created by Hergé.
"Tintin in the Land of the Soviets" especially requires commentary or annotation that reveals exactly what was going on in the Soviet Union in the late 1920s that Hergé and the left found necessary to attack, even in a comic book adventure.
One of the reasons "Tintin in the Land of the Soviets" is not part of the official canon is because the story is told in fl and white.

This is evidenced most notably in Tintin in the Land of the Soviets where the text states that Tintin arrives in Brussels as he returns home after his adventure, and in Tintin in Tibet, where the letter sent to Tintin by his friend Chang is addressed to Brussels.
A perennial question concerning Tintin is his age: It is far from clear whether he is a teenage rookie reporter, or a senior journalist in his thirtysomething years.

I’m pretty confident that I really learnt to read by reading Tintin books, and the Calculus Affair was one of my favorites.

Tintin has enormous sentimental value for me, so you’ll just have to put up with this rather pointless ramble.

 The Local - Ideology adds fuel to marathon campaign
But coming from a country, Britain, where ideology has been erased almost entirely from politics, to a country where old fashioned socialists battle it out with conservatives and liberals is every bit as refreshing as it is weirdly retro.
Of course, Sweden isn’t the only Western democracy where ideology has reared its head in recent campaigns.
Analysts may be divided over the extent of its impact on the result, but religious ideology in the last American presidential election pervaded the whole campaign.

 Reasons to be Impossible
Louis Althusser thought that through fiction ideology could stand revealed - a rather soulless perspective on literature if you ask me - but this novel does illustrate a fantasy fiction world of a British fascist (although Wheatley assisted the British war effort, I don't think that dints his pre-war flirtation with the ideology).
It was fascinating to see how the ideology of fascis dovetailed neatly with the typical adventure story - and the absolute ruthlessness the author presumed his readers would find acceptable (as well as the sheer double standards of atrocity calling).
It is not that the study of literature reveals ideology concretised, but it reveals the working of rhetoric, an essential tool for intellectual self-defence.

Tintin is a young Belgian reporter who, accompanied by his white terrier Milou, travels the globe (and beyond it seems) having adventures.
Le Lotus Bleu (The Blue Lotus, I opted to read Tintin in the original French but his adventures are easily available in English translation) concerns Tintin’s adventures in China as he becomes involved in investigating a Japanese opium ring and attempts to save someone from the “poison which renders mad”.
Tintin is not the most interesting of characters, but he shows persistence in the pursuit of his goals (in this case helping out the Chinese friends he makes).

Agreeing to the removal of Israeli settlements from the Sinai was perceived by many as a clear departure from Likud’s Revisionist ideology.
Several prominent Likud members, most notably Yitzhak Shamir and Ariel Sharon, objected to the treaty and abstained when it was ratified with an overwhelming majority in the Knesset, achieved only thanks to support from the opposition.
In later editions of "Tintin in the Land of Black Gold," Hergé eliminated all references to the Israelis and the British.
