The Journal

254 Autumn 2024

Overland 254 is the first in a set of four special editions dedicated to commemorating 70 years of Overland. This issue also launches a new design and format by Common Room Editions, inspired by Overland’s trove of radical literature spanning from 1954 to today. Andrew Brooks and Astrid Lorange consider the asymmetrical responses to two events: the wearing of keffiyehs by three cast members during the Sydney Theatre Company’s production of Anton Chekov’s The Seagull, and, on the same day in the US, the shooting of three Palestinian men wearing keffiyehs. Jeff Sparrow uncovers the Sydney Herald’s legacy of Terra Nullius, and Daniel Lopez writes on Marx, Meredith and the festival as an inversion of modern life.

Errors on page

Editor’s note: ‘Errors on page’ is a found poem composed entirely from images of real Geocities websites.

The images used in this composition were originally published by Olia Lialina and Dragan Espenschied at One Terabyte of Kilobyte Age, a blog that automatically displays random screenshots from an archive of long-forgotten Geocities pages. That archive, The Geocities Torrent, was created by Archive Team following their 2009 effort to preserve Geocities data from Yahoo servers faced with mass deletion.
