I was delighted to discover that my linguistics thesis,
“The politics of Tintin: Context, stereotypes, representations, and controversies in the early adventures of Tintin” (Flinders University), has recently been cited in a scholarly article titled “Arab World in Hergé’s The Adventures of Tintin: Making Visible the Idea of Terra Nullius.”
It’s encouraging to see that this area of research, exploring how stories, images, and languages shape our perceptions of culture, continues to spark discussion in academic and educational circles.
For me, Tintin’s world remains a powerful classroom resource, inviting learners to think critically about representation, history, and voice through the lens of la bande dessinée franco-belge.
