Donaldism

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Donaldism describes the preoccupation with the fictional Duck family and the research of familial , biological , technical , sociological and group dynamic processes in the fictional town of Duckburg . This takes place especially in Germany and Scandinavia in organizations and events and includes humorous as well as philosophical and cultural studies .

Content

Donaldism deals with Donald Duck , Dagobert Duck , Tick, Trick and Track as well as the other residents of Duckburg and their environment. Stories by the American illustrator Carl Barks , which were translated into German by the art historian Erika Fuchs, serve as the basis for this . However, the quite free translation by Erika Fuchs is also criticized from the source purist.

There are essays on issues such as the “Donald Utopia” or the “Climate in Duckburg”. Even sexuality and the legal structures in the duck metropolis are illuminated. Those interested are interested in “exploring the Duck family and the Entenhausen universe in every conceivable way”. Purists, also known as Barksists, only include the stories of Barks in their research.

history

The first scientific donaldist work was published in 1971 by Jon Gisle with the essay Donaldisms , in 1973 his book Donaldism followed .

In 1977 Hans von Storch , who is considered the founder of German Donaldism, founded the German organization of non-commercial supporters of pure Donaldism , DONALD for short, in Hamburg.

Events and clubs

The Donaldists have organized themselves in nationally oriented associations. In Europe these are:

DONALD congresses take place annually at different venues, most recently on April 7, 2018 in Königslutter, the next time on April 6, 2019 in Freiburg im Breisgau; the 2020 congress was planned for March 28 at the Marta Herford Museum , but had to be postponed to 2021 due to the health policy framework. Scientific lectures are held there and the President of DONALD is elected alongside other dignitaries (if the office is held by a man, the designation President Role is permitted) and countless orders and awards are distributed to deserving members. The MacMoneysac Prize was awarded for the first time at the 2005 Congress in Aachen. The winner was Josef Ackermann , head of Deutsche Bank. This award goes to people who "enforce their economic interests free from the shackles of moral concerns" and are "in no way inferior to the business leaders in Duckburg."

Further events are the annual “May race” in spring, in which, for example, in the form of a pedestrian rally “... donaldistic tasks that are based on the Barks stories are to be solved”, and the “intermediate ceremony” that takes place every autumn “Called rather casual get-togethers for which the specially chosen master of ceremonies is responsible. There are also many get-togethers that take place more or less regularly in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
