AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In the time since our last edition the Victorian Aboriginal community has lost two of its most prominent Elders, Uncle Archie Roach and Uncle Jack Charles. Both were survivors of a brutal r3egime of state-sanctioned removal and assimilation that continues to tear apart Aboriginal families today. Both will be sorely missed from the community in which Overland lives and works, and remembered forever for their compassion, resilience and leadership.' (Editorial introduction)

'That's Not Us!' Wake in Fright and the Australian Nightmare, Gregory Marks , single work criticism
'Last year marked the fiftieth anniversary of Wake in Fright, one of Australian cinema's 197C most unsettling horror movies, as well as one of its most, perceptive works of national self-interrogation. Adapted from Kenneth Cook's 1961 novel of the same name and directed by Ted Kotcheff of later First Blood fame, Wake in Fright has attained a semi-mythical status firstly as a `lost movie', only being fully restored for a 2009 re-release, and secondly as a cult film rejected by audiences on its theatrical release and with considerably less influence on the mainstream of Australian cinema than its contemporaries in the Australian Gothic genre..

A Change in the Air : Literature, Bombs and Colonial Terror in Climate Literature, Jack Kirne , single work criticism

'Reflecting on Hiroshima, 6 August 1945, Karen Barad writes :

'Time stopped. The internal mechanisms melted...Time died in a flash. Its demise captured in shadows: silhouettes of people, animals, plants, and objects, its last moment of existence emblazoned on walls. Never before was it possible to kill time, not like this. Atomic clocks. Doomsday clocks. The hands of time indeterminately positioned as creeping toward the midnight of human and more-than-human existence, moving, and no longer moving.' (Introduction)
