“…10 In many cases, cultural studies related to the Disney Corporation have focused on the mass cultural and critique of globalism, or the personal history of Walt Disney, however, in this article we will concentrate on the local context of an international and transnational cultural product. 11 This article continues Donald Duck-related television research that the first author has previously undertaken and published in Finnish. 12 This subject could also be approached from the point of reception studies, but in this case, it is difficult due to the lack of suitable research material.…”

Comics as an Introduction to Media Technology: The Finnish Case-Television and Donald Duck in the 1950s and the early 1960s This article deals with the relationship between television-a new form of media technology in 1950s Finland-and the introduction of the Donald Duck comic book. The article analyses the three most essential imaginary perspectives on the uses of media technology: interactivity, publicity seeking and tinkering with a television. On one hand, the article introduces the various ways in which the comic book represented and introduced the media format to the Finnish public, and on the other hand, how it actively participated in the contemporary public debate on the meanings of television and its use that took place at that time. The small Nordic country of Finland suffered greatly during World War Two. Finland, which had been allied with Nazi Germany, tried to maintain its independence and neutrality after the war despite the pressure of the Soviet Union and aimed to rebuild its damaged infrastructure, while at the same time paying significant reparations to the Soviets.

“…Accordingly, based on the rationale of the 'sustainable mobility paradigm', future urban spaces are designed for the new technologies of micromobility. While the Disney theme parks transport people into a dream world and thus pursue a private business model [24], the concept of the EcoMobileum is geared towards the goal of sustainability, which is a common good, thus representing the public interest.…”

With its sights set on sustainable development, transport policy finds itself confronted with the challenge of convincing people to abandon the current path of growth and instead use small, slower vehicles with a reduced range in the future. The problem with this goal is that people's mental structures are shaped by the car ensconced in their heads. Thinking in other terms hardly seems possible; moreover, many of the products classified as vehicles, but smaller in scale than the "car" and that already exist, remain unknown, nor can they be tried out - they are quite literally nowhere to be seen. In light of this situation, the German Federal Environmental Foundation has commissioned a feasibility study to explore the establishment of a World of Experience (Erlebniswelt) of sustainable urban mobility - the EcoMobileum®. Here, the aim is to open up the horizons of a new culture of mobility in order to get people excited about the transformation of mobility.
