Résumé

Cet article analyse les neuf documentaires animés produits par John Sutherland pour Harding College entre 1948 et 1952. Guidés par les concepts d’américanisme et d’anticommunisme, ces documentaires glorifient les avantages du système capitaliste et offrent une vision négative du communisme et de ses agents. L’analyse des aspects formels et idéologiques des films partira de la « perspective historique », qui permettra d’approfondir leur relations avec les structures économiques et culturelles de la société dans laquelle ils ont été produits.
