Works about this Work

Sacrificing Steve : How I Killed the Crocodile Hunter Luke Carman , 2010 single work criticism
— Appears in: Cultural Studies Review , vol. 16 no. 2 2010;
'Bob Hodge and Vijay Mishra argue that the complex issues of illegitimacy at the core of Australian identity are repressed through a continual process of cyclical silencing, where traces of a shameful past are exorcised by a focus on images of a mythologised 'legend', embodied in characters such as 'The Man from Snowy River'. This article explores such a 'schizophrenic' cycle in relation to the life, death and resurrection of Steve 'Crocodile Hunter' Irwin.' (Authors' abstract)
