«The Empire's Old Clothes» is Ariel Dorfman's essay, published by Duke University Press in paperback (224 pages, in English).
Ariel Dorfman analyzes the political and social implications of characters from books, comics and magazines such as Donald Duck, Babar, the Lone Ranger and Reader's Digest. He shows how these seemingly innocent narratives convey ideology and naturalize forms of power and consumption.
Originally published in 1983; this 2010 edition adds a new preface by the author and includes a bibliography.
Aimed at students, academics and readers interested in cultural studies, media and popular culture.
