| Synopsis |
This article discusses the development of the myth of mateship in Australia, together with the exminations of history and literature that illuminate the present complexity of mateship and its continuing impacts on the political culture.The essay reveals that the making of mateship's myth has its origins in the nineteenth century from the original concept of mateship as a necessary bonding of working men elevated into the subsequent national mythology and ideology. On the other hand, the ideas of mateship in contemporary Australia are more used in political action. |
