Disrupting strength, power, and perfect bodies: Disability as narrative prosthesis in 1990s Australian national cinema
Nebula, Vol.7(1/2), pp.98-107
2010
Abstract
The essential Australian is male, working-class, sardonic, laconic, loyal to his mates, unimpressed by rank, an improviser, non-conformist, and so on. These virtues are defined and redefined under the harsh conditions of the bush, workplace, war or sport, in which women, and the feminine qualities, are considered to be beside the point
--Susan Dermody and Elizabeth Jacka describing the ―male ensemble‖ (1988, p. 62)
