Abstract

In September 1991 Walt Disney's legal representatives in Israel sued prolific Israeli cartoonist Dudu Geva for using the figure of Donald Duck without permission. The case, which worked its way to the Israeli Supreme Court, sparked a broader conversation in Israel about the place of American cultural icons and idioms in Israeli life. While existing treatments emphasize Jewish Israeli optimism with American influence on their lives, the article demonstrates that some Jewish Israelis had a conflicted relationship with American hegemony, even as their state enjoyed unparalleled privilege under American patronage.
《鸭子大战:沃尔特·迪斯尼与杜杜·格瓦和二十世纪后期以色列的美国化政治》
1991年9月,沃尔特·迪斯尼在以色列的法律代表起诉多产的以色列漫画家杜杜·格瓦,因为他未经许可使用了唐老鸭的形象。这个案子一直打到以色列最高法院,在以色列引发了一场关于美国文化符号和习语在以色列生活中的地位的广泛讨论。虽然现有的治疗方法强调以色列犹太人对美国对其生活影响的乐观态度,但文章表明,一些以色列犹太人与美国霸权的关系存在冲突,尽管他们的国家在美国的庇护下享有无与伦比的特权。
