So Why Are Their Fans So Nervous? The Oregon Duck mascot rides before the Oct. 18 Washington game. THOMAS PATTERSON FOR THE WALL STREET JOURNAL By Ryan White Updated Oct. 31, 2014 7:09 p.m. ET Eugene, Ore. The Hatfield-Dowlin Complex might be the most aggressive salute to Mom ever built. Paid for by Nike founder Phil Knight and his wife Penny, and named after their mothers, the University of Oregon’s 145,000-square-foot football building features rugs from Nepal, barber’s tools from Italy, a Finnish sound system, German tables, Ferrari-leathered seats and urinals from Turkey. On the outside, the complex of offices and training facilities is sleek and black—an angular, armored Death Star. “It is kind of an ominous looking building,” offensive-line coach Steve Greatwood says. “I guess it does send some kind of statement subliminally,” Greatwood says. “Maybe there’s an evil empire in there.” Or maybe that’s just they want us to think. https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-energy-and-anxiety-of-oregon-football-1414782913 Page 1 of 4 The Energy and Anxiety of Oregon Football - WSJ 5/29/19, 326 PM It is at once a confident and anxious time on the campus of college football’s coolest program.

Kupfer Associate Professor of American Studies and History Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Simon J. Bronner Distinguished Professor Emeritus of American Studies and Folklore Anthony Bak Buccitelli Associate Professor of American Studies and Communication Samuel P. Winch Associate Professor Emeritus of Communications and Humanities Roderick Lee Associate Professor of Information Systems, School of Business Administration John R. Haddad Professor of American Studies and Popular Culture Chair of the Graduate Program in American Studies *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT Disney is one of the major cultural exports of America, with a multimedia empire of film, comics and even theme parks. Traditionally, the process has been regarded as one-sided and imperialistic, with Disney (and American culture at large) marching into new territories and asserting control over the native popular culture. This process is in fact more multifaceted, with American culture creating something entirely new in interactions with other cultures; the meaning is typically reinterpreted by outside audiences. This utilization of American culture also differs from the manner it is consumed domestically; Disney’s comics remain among the best-selling worldwide, instead of the niche products that they are in the American market.
