Abstract

This article proposes that Tom O'Regan's Australian National Cinema book is best understood among the contexts from which it emerged and, in this process, repositions the magnum opus of his scholarly career, as a post-national theorising of the national cinema formation in terms of 'an unprincipled assemblage' and a discursive multiplicity.
