The films are 'The Man From Snowy River', 'Sunday Too Far Away', 'We of the Never Never', 'Picnic at Hanging Rock' and 'The Plains of Heaven'. These five texts are examined in light of feminist theories dealing with subjectivity and representation. The analysis of the place and role of femininity within the texts is conducted through the examination of symbols and metaphors associated with the landscape which operate within the film structure. The thesis concludes that the Australian landscape is constructed within these films in such a way as to support the concept of a white, masculine Australian identity..." -- taken from summary Notes: Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts, Centre for Womens Studies; Summary: [unpaged] at front of text; Typescript; Includes bibliographical references (leaves 104-110) LON: abn93171145; 10039377 Contents: 1.
