    Tintin et le langage
    (2018-01-18) Bidaud, Samuel
    This article focuses on the conception of language which emerges from The Adventures of Tintin. We can distinguish essentially three kinds of relations to language in Tintin, which more or less follow the chronology of the albums. Tintin's language, first, is characterized by transparency and corresponds to a form of "classical episteme". With the appearance of Captain Haddock in The Crab with the Golden Claws, then with Professor Calculus, language becomes its own object at the same time that it allows the characters to reveal some of their problems, especially that of their identity. Finally, in the last period, which begins with The Castaore Emerald, language is losing its function of meaning to be nothing but noise.
