Performance, Race, Mock-Documentary and the Australian National Imaginary in The Nominees, Lisa Bode , single work criticism
'The different layers of performance styles, representational spaces and comic targets in... mock-documentaries are worth unpacking for how they operate together and the social values they may or may not critique. This essay will offer some thoughts in this direction before examining in detail the complex way in which these layers work in a recent Australian mock-documentary television series, We Can Be Heroes: Finding the Australian of the Year (2005), re-titled in the USA and UK as The Nominees, which, among other things, features socially regressive and highly charged representational styles such as yellow and blackface performance.'
