Resumen
Este artículo analiza tres álbumes de Las aventuras de Tintín –del historietista belga Georges Remi, conocido como Hergé– y examina el paso de la mirada eurocéntrica y el humor exotizante deTintín en el país de los Soviets (1929) y Tintín en el Congo (1930), que le valieron al autor acusaciones de racismo y prohibiciones de venta, a una “risa de los oprimidos” a partir de El loto azul (1935), para iluminar los modos en que un cambio en la metodología de trabajo de Hergé transformó sus concepciones y habilitó un nuevo lenguaje, humor, y tratamiento del “otro” y de su cultura, constituyendo así un punto de inflexión fundamental en su obra.
This article analyzes three albums of The Adventures of Tintin by Belgian cartoonist Georges Remi, better known as Hergé. It looks into the Eurocentric gaze and the exoticizing sense of humor that shaped both Tintin in the Land of the Soviets (1929) and Tintin in the Congo (1930) and earned Hergé accusations of racism and a ban on sales. The article then goes on to examine a shift towards a “laugh of the oppressed” in The Blue Lotus (1935) that will continue in subsequent works. Lastly, it reflects on the ways in which a change in Hergé’s work methodology reshaped his conceptions, enabling a new language, type of humor, and treatment of the “other” and their culture that resulted in a fundamental turning point in his work.
