The nineteenth- and twentieth-century European texts on “unfamiliar” parts of the world were injected with the idea of terra nullius (more pernicious than its legal and military implications) to justify European imperialism. It is a projection of “diffusionism,” which intends to theorize how the “outside” world lacks indigenous geography, history, or culture. In this context, this article takes up Georges Remi Hergé’s representations of the Arab world in The Crab with the Golden Claws, The Red Sea Sharks, Cigars of the Pharaoh, and Land of Black Gold to identify traces of the idea of terra nullius albeit it was not legally applied on the land and its people.

埃尔热的《丁丁历险记》中的阿拉伯世界：让“Terra Nullius”的理念变得可见

十九世纪和二十世纪欧洲关于世界“陌生”地区的文本被注入了“无主地”的概念（比其法律和军事含义更有害），以证明欧洲帝国主义的合理性。它是“扩散主义”的投射，旨在理论化“外部”世界如何缺乏本土地理、历史或文化。在此背景下，本文以乔治·雷米·埃尔热在《金爪蟹》、《红海鲨鱼》、《法老的雪茄》和《黑金之地》中对阿拉伯世界的描述为基础，以找出“无主地”观念的痕迹。没有合法地应用于土地及其人民。
