Antoine Buéno
Antoine Buéno is a French sociologist and self-proclaimed 'Smurfologist' known for his critical analysis of the ideological underpinnings of the Smurfs, particularly in his book 'Le Petit Livre Bleu.' He argues that the original Smurf comics by Pierre 'Peyo' Culliford reflect a corporatist society where individuality is discouraged, and each character serves a specific social function. Buéno's work has sparked debate among fans about the political themes in the Smurfs and how they relate to broader societal issues, highlighting the tension between collective identity and individualism.
