 How to explain the tremendous and perennial success of this little reporter, Tintin, born in 1929 who "always wins without fighting" and that Hergé qualified as "knight"? Scriptwriter of genius, ecologist before time and humanist, Hergé was fascinated by paranormal and shrewed reader of the psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung. Jacques Fontaine deciphers in this first video the deep meaning that hides behind the works "The Secret of the Unicorn" and "Red Rackham's Treasure" distinguishing the three levels of reading: narrative, cultural, and the structure.
The structure of Hergé's works, and these two albums particularly, are deeply initiatory: according to the author, Hergé is based on symbols, myths and archetypes that we find in all the traditions. That's the reason of the universality of his works.
These two albums are placed under the sign of "water" and the "Little work" which are the first steps of a whole initiatory process, especially in Freemasonry. This presentation raises many fascinating questions: - What message id hidden behind the "visible" part of the iceberg that are the numerous adventures of Tintin? - Was Hergé an initiated? Are we in front of an esotericist message that reveals the invisible aspect of the being's evolution? - Does an artist's inspiration come from his own conscious, or his own will. Or on the contrary, does it come from a collision, an Eureka, between a path of an individual life and the collective unconscious, which is a matter of depth psychology (CG Jung) and of archetypes?
Think about it in this 60-minutes presentation. A second part (released on March 12th 2010) will talk about "The Seven Crystal Balls" and "Prisoners of the Sun".
