Donaldism is the fandom associated with Disney comics and cartoons. The name refers to Donald Duck and was first used by author Jon Gisle in his book ''Donaldismen'' in 1973. In some (especially European) countries, donaldism is mainly centred on comics and comic strips, while in other countries, e.g. the US, these are largely neglected while motion pictures and shorts are relatively much more popular. Originally the term, as defined by Gisle, referred to a "Research branch as well as the material that is the object this research. In the latter meaning, the word denotes every Disney signed comic story. In the former meaning, donaldism is a branch of comics research, specialising in the study of precisely Disney's production." While this original meaning of the word was defined in 1973, today donaldism tends to also cover general fandom within Disney comics and even motion pictures and shorts. Although the term refers directly to the ''Duck universe'', it includes other Disney universes. == Donaldist == A donaldist is a supporter of donaldism: A fan or even researcher of Disney comics. According to the 1977 manifest of Norwegian donaldist society "Donaldistene", "donaldists are Donald Duck fans who study ''Donald Duck & Co'' (Disney comic book, editor ) from social and political structures and viewpoints. Moreover, they try in the best possible way to preserve donaldistic cultural material for their own and others' collections." Part of Donaldist culture is to create backronyms for names and titles; this usage stems from Carl Barks's Junior Woodchucks comics, where the scout leaders generally had long and pompous titles, leading to jocular acronyms. The term Donaldist has been used in authorized Disney publications: the collector-themed Gemstone Publishing album series ''Walt Disney Treasures'' was advertised with the slogan/question, "Are You a Donaldist?" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Donaldism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
