Alan Ford v Jugoslaviji : od ironije in tavtologije do ideologije

Komel, Mirt (author)

Alan Ford, italijanski strip, ki sta ga leta 1969 ustvarila Max Bunker in Magnus, je kmalu po prevodu v hrvaščino v Jugoslaviji postal izjemno popularen. Njegov ironični pristop k žanru vohunjenja, združen z nadrealističnim črnim humorjem in satirično kritiko Italije in Zahoda, je očitno odlično preveden v ironično upodobitev jugoslovanske politike tistega obdobja, ki je večinoma vplivala tudi na sodobno politiko v postjugoslovanskih državah. Članek se osredini na komične aspekte jugoslovanskega Alana Forda, še zlasti pa na ironijo in tavtologijo kot dvoje specifičnih tehnik proizvajanja komičnega učinka, ki si jih komedija deli z ideologijo.

Abstract

Originally an Italian comic book created in 1969 by Max Bunker and Magnus, soon after its translation in Serbo-Croatian Alan Ford became hugely popular in Yugoslavia. Its ironic take on the genre of espionage, combined with surreal black humour and a satirical critique of Italy and the West in general, evidently brilliantly translated as an ironic depiction of not only Yugoslav party politics of the period, but contemporary politics in post-Yugoslav countries as well. The article thus deals with the comic aspects of the Yugoslav Alan Ford, concentrating on its specific irony and tautology since both provide a direct link between the spheres of comedy and ideology.
