Anyway re: Jeanne d'Arc. It's anachronistic to define her as a fascist saint or as a nationalist warrior. To quote Lucien Febvre, you're giving Diogenes an umbrella and Mars a gatling gun. I don't think people in tumblr making comics about Joan of Arc as she relates to gender, violence, or her relationship to god are the reason we have the far-right turn her into a fascist icon. I don't think Leslie Feinberg writing about her emboldens Eric Zemmour. I don't think F'murr's Jehanne au pied du mur (an excellent comic book where Joan is either piss-drunk or trying to have sex with her alien husband or trying to rope Attila the Hun into many a harebrained scheme) had any impact on racism in France.
I think we can say it's sometimes cringey & annoying when people use complex & flawed historical people as blorbos (cf: Hamilton, Our Flag Means Death, The Terror). Sometimes it's done very skillfully and it sheds light on history and sometimes it's in poor taste and obscures the events and one's mileage will enormously vary over time (used to be big into Hamilton, find it a poor history lesson and a cringe fandom now, but I don't think it has had any negative consequence on antiblack racism in the U.S)
But people on Tumblr or even writers have very little impact on tradcath fascist radicalisation, and if they do, I don't think they're worsening the situation in any way shape or form. The people in Orleans aren't reactionary racists because Joan of Arc is an inherently Racist or Royalist or Christian figure. They're racists because they're pieces of shit and right-wing tradcath reaction has been a big thing in the french countryside for structural reasons. I can understand getting mad at "Marie-Antoinette did nothing wrong" Coppola-snorting coquettes (M-A was ridiculously and blithely evil irl) but I find it really strange to have Joan of Arc being a tumblr blorbo for us queers a hill one would be willing to fight on.
#no shade intended to the mutual who complained about Joan of Arc#if i'd spent more than 5 minutes in Orleans' train station i think i'd have burned the city down the vibes are off and rancid there#so i somewhat understand where you're coming from#but like. to see Joan of Arc as some sort of nationalist Christian mystic qui a bouté les anglais hors de France is EXACTLY#what Michelet la 3ème République et les Le Pen are trying to have us swallow#whereas ''teen girl grows up in time of war; chooses a side to end the war; gets killed by fellow french speakers of french culture''#is also a historical reading of it. the knights joan fought spoke french lived in France knew the same songs the same landscapes#and she; again; was burned by the Catholic church yeah yeah yeah it was political but the church being a tool of politics...#all i'm saying is that if the only reading we're willing to entertain is that she was a [something that won't exist for 100+ years]#then yeah let's not have her in our art or mention her. but the mental categories of her day & age are fascinating and so is her story#i don't see why we can't celebrate; if not her fight... her life ? i don't see what she did in life that was so wrong

F’murr died today and it’s breaking my heart a little.
F’murr (Richard Peyzaret) was a french comic book author. His work was published in the newspaper Pilote. He wrote and draw at least twenty books, but his most well known series was, by far, Le Génie des Alpages (The Alps Genius)
(source)
Le Génie des Alpages is a comic book about a shepherd, his dog, and his flock of sheeps. A very weird dog and a very, very weird flock of ewes.
(source)
This is a perfectly normal ewe. Other ewes include Einstein the physicist ewe, Romuald the megalomaniac leading ram, several names ending in -ule (Infractule, Renoncule, Fistule, ...) which were all said when a man wanted to be introduced to the whole flock...
(source)
.... yes. Ewes attacking tourists and robbing them, clan wars, several discussions about books and litterary subject, a lost lion looking for his “petit liré”, an equally lost sphinx, a bagpipes-playing ewe, a crazy cable car, and several ugly sweaters.
(source)
And giant dogs. Obviously.
F’murr was famous for his strange, almost post-modern humor, often bordering on absurd, on weird puns, or on litterary references (and is sadly almost not translatable).
(source)
This strange comic helped shape my own sense of humor, and I really, really love it. And I’m really, really sad that F’murr left us.
#upthebaguette#f'murr#that man was a very good author#I love his comics#it's so weird and fun#I'm so sad :(

Yesterday I learned that F’murrr, French cartoonist and comic book writer, had passed away (April 10, 2018). His work was so wonderfully absurd. I’ll miss him...
(The picture is a redraw I did last November of a panel from “Le Génie des Alpages - Bouge tranquille”)
#sorry this... just makes me very sad#I love his comics /so much/#as a child I would quote some of them by heart#there were anarchist ewes and a nameless philosophical dog and a grumpy black ram and a little shepherd named Athanase and...#ah heck I don't want to cry again#just#RRRIP F'murr

Hommage à F'murr, auteur mythique du “Génie des alpages”
Sourcils couleur neige, moustache broussailleuse, volutes de fumée, tout semblait rapprocher F’murr de ses personnages : les moutons. Après avoir travaillé pour le journal Pilote, une pause sabbatique lui a permis de chercher un thème humoristique à décliner. Lors d’un séjour dans les Alpes, un berger et son troupeau inspirent l’auteur. Goscinny décide de publier les planches de ce séjour montagnard : Le Génie des alpages était né. La génération des années 70 n’allait pas s’en relever, et c’est bien poliment que tout ce beau monde posait ses problèmes existentiels à la face de l’univers.

Les moutons de F'murr, ce miroir de notre société
F’murr allait dispenser un peu de sa personnalité sur la masse broutonnante. Pour l’auteur, “Je” serait tous les moutons. “Quand on a eu les pieds dans un troupeau, il se passe quelque chose de très émouvant qui est lié au bruit et au parfum. Cette masse qui bouge est assez insaisissable parce qu'on ne sait jamais qui est qui.” L’auteur se dit influencé par des cinéastes comme Mizoguchi ou Eisenstein où, dit-il, plusieurs niveaux d’images coexistent dans le même plan. Les moutons deviennent des personnages à caractère humain, doués de parole et de réflexions grotesques ou absurdes, mais deviennent surtout les articulations d’une communauté se posant en miroir de notre société.
pire que la mort, la mort de ses idoles. De ceux qui m'ont donné envie de faire ce métier. F'murr en était. Je suis triste. pic.twitter.com/X189BvgFKf

Vous êtes priés de coller votre nez dans Le Génie des alpages
“Il semble que le mouton préserve l’intégrité du groupe d’une façon acharnée. Le groupe est la structure sociale des brebis. Une brebis qui a un comportement indépendant va vite être mise au rancart par le berger. C’est son capital et il ne va pas le laisser filer. C’est politique. Le chien, c’est le flic, c’est l ’exécutif.” La colonie de nuages sur pattes F’murrienne rappelle la société grecque, celle de La République de Platon. Ici, on cause en marchant aussi, en bons péripatéticiens de Panurge.
Lors de vos prochains arrêts en basse campagne, pour bêler philosophiquement et voir se suspendre à votre regard les deux billes rondes de l’animal docile et masticateur, vous êtes priés de coller votre nez dans Le Génie des alpages. Ça ne mange pas d’herbe.
