Abstract

ABSTRACT: Tom O'Regan's vision of cultural policy in the 1990s was original and durable because he emphasized the rhetorical politics and enunciative contexts of policy statements as well as their propositional contents. Reflecting on some of the changes that have occurred in Australia since that time, my commemoration of Tom's work explores the role of the "corridor" metaphor in his thinking.
