Abstract

This work deals with the aesthetics of Tintin’s travels, which allow an artistic and political articulation without his author having to travel to the places where the narratives unfold. The sophistication of
Hergé’s work in Tintin involves a peculiar aesthetic that dialogues with verisimilitude and caricature at certain times and brings the marks of the Catholic and reactionary Belgian extreme right and the struggle against other cultures through prejudiced narrative and drawing. Hergé’s travels to other countries through Tintin seem to carry his particular flag, which tried to mark the places he passed through with his ideology.
