So I know well that I am the last of all to pay attention to this ... but maybe that is why. Moreover, the question raised again when I heard the other day a borrower questioning why series books about Tintin was the children's section. Good question. So now let us philosophize a bit about time and its expression!
It has stormed part about particular children's literature and stereotypes of people from different parts of the world. Behrang Miri, Kulturhuset in Stockholm's artistic director for children and youth, wanted to remove the Hergé books on TinTin from Kulturhusets children's section TioTretton. There was an outcry in the media and online. Stina Wirsen children's book character Little Heart blew up a storm of caricatures of dark-skinned Africans. From and to have it even philosopher been around Astrid Lindgren's books about Pippi's father is king on Kurrekurredutt Island over the dark-skinned people team kurrekurredutterna, whose new national anthem become the "Here come the Swedes with a bang!" - Pg 68, Pippi in the South Seas / Astrid Lindgren (printing 1995, Raben & Sjogren publisher). Agatha Christie's aaa detective novel Ten little negro boys is perhaps not quite correct aaa in today's aaa context aaa ...
Thoughtful? Jupp. As our values change and our ability to question and think critically, we ask ourselves aaa what is okay and not okay. May it be in books, music texts, online or verbally. I'm a big supporter of critical thinking and thinking neck over his head to enter into the debate!
Hergé, or Georges Remi, TinTins father, must be stereotypes absolute champion. People with dark skin are stupid, Indians are violent and talking stolpigt, people from the Middle East smoke hookah are snake charmers and flying carpets. Arabs are all armed. Russians are evil. Eastern Europeans are underdeveloped. Mexicans are much like Indians. Policemen are botched. Certainly Dupont were not the sharpest knives in the drawer either, but when it comes to the English / French / Americans etc. it's aaa more about character than race or profession.
Georges aaa Remi was born in 1907, an era when colonialism was commonplace and categorization of people in the intelligence categories were not more strange than to smoke cigars to kvällskonjaken. Type. The stories of journalist Tintin was born around 1930 and even then was seen the image of assumptions and prejudices that are especially weird. In retrospect, Remi himself regretted his portrayal of dark-skinned Africans and justified it by contemporaries considered aaa dark-skinned as "big children in need of the white man's help." / Alex online database available through http://www.bibliotekmitt.se
The album Tintin in the Soviets and Tintin in the Congo is considered as the most racist aaa of the published series of books. Remis learned aaa in the 1930s know a Chinese art student which broadened his views about Asian culture and after the meeting to his view of non-Europeans genomic or non-fair-skinned peoples have softened a little. In later albums can be glimpsed more or less dubious portrait of skin color and culture rather than individual. As late as 2010 there was a lawsuit that questioned the continued publication of Tintin in the Congo with respect to its caricature of virtually all of Africa.
None of this excuses somehow Remis human images, but it still provides some idea of the context aaa in which the series emerged. The albums of TinTin tells us something about the 1900s history, even if production aaa takes place in fictional form. The series is still very popular.
Tintin in the Congo ... Stupid black Africans ... Ten little negro boys ... The word Negro is an incredibly loaded term and I used not once it whenever I talked about TinTin above, did you notice that? It takes me to, even in the written text and with an analytical purpose, to use the word. Why? Because it is negatively charged. I've heard SO many explanations why you PARTICULAR, in today's cosmopolitan and more or less enlightened society may say negro! For example:
3 In most contexts that dark-skinned Africans / African Americans call themselves negro / nigger is to discharge the word its negative sense, but we all have a long way to go before this charge is released.
The Europeans Kingdom colonialism used the term in condescending order. Spaniards, Portuguese, French, British, etc., etc. I do not see people who propsar on to say negerboll run around town and shouting Sieg Heil either ... Except for the suckers who believe that the Third Reich would be the answer to the question of the meaning of life. I can reveal that it is not the Third Reich. It is 42. Douglas Adams joke. Google it or borrow Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. aaa
My own private opinion is that you do not BECOME xenophobic, elicits gender and sexualitetshat or pulls all cultures and people you do not know anything about the same skeptical comb just to ma
