Tintin

Summary

Dominique Pagani mentions Tintin through occasional allusions, often to illustrate a philosophical or historical point. Reflecting on how the sciences of history can be real, he contrasts genuine revision with the Thompsons going round in circles in the desert in Land of Black Gold1. In the same session, he calls Socrates "Plato's Tintin"2. Discussing Nerval and the theme of the nomad and the sedentary, he refers to a panel in which Tintin finds nostalgia in the music of travelling people3. He also recalls that one learns there that one is lighter on the moon, in a session devoted to Nerval and Baudelaire4. He takes up the phrase "la main de l'homme ne vienne y mettre son pied" (roughly, "lest the hand of man set its foot there") in a session on Michel Clouscard5. Finally, he draws from The Broken Ear its depiction of coups d'état in the United States' backyard6.
