Australian Film Theory and Criticism Vol 3

The third part of a three-volume work devoted to mapping the transnational history of Australian film studies, Australian Film Theory and Criticism, Volume 3 concludes the project by gathering together the 'Documents' that were produced during the academicisation of film studies in Australia in the period 1975-85. Through these sources we see the development of the particularities of Australian film theory and criticism, its relationship to its international counterparts and the establishment of key positions and the directions in which they develop. Editors Constantine Verevis and Deane Williams here collect the key texts discussed in Volumes 1 and 2, including the crucial works of the likes of Paul Willemen, Sam Rohdie, Ross Gibson and Meaghan Morris among many others, thus concluding this pioneering historiographic account of Australian film studies.
