Book excerpt: "The original Insights series aimed to meet a key HSSA objective - to promote the study and discussion of South Australian history. Insights Volume 3 shares this aim. Like its predecessor, Volume 1, it reproduces articles published in the Journal of the Historical Society of South Australia (JHSSA) but in this instance draws on the fifty issues published between 1975 and 2022. The publication's Editorial Committee selected the articles from a shortlist of nominations made by ten invited HSSA members ... They made their selection(s) using the following criteria - the article is based on landmark research; focuses on a particularly interesting or on a new subject; is written from an unusual angle; is well written and grabs the reader's interest, that is, it appeals for its readability and / or addresses an inspiring topic and / or offers thought provoking conclusions." -- Introduction.

Book Synopsis The Archaeology of Institutional Life by : April M. Beisaw
Download or read book The Archaeology of Institutional Life written by April M. Beisaw. This book was released on 2009-03-22. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark work that will instigate vigorous and wide-ranging discussions on institutions in Western life, and the power of material culture to both enforce and negate cultural norms Institutions pervade social life. They express community goals and values by defining the limits of socially acceptable behavior. Institutions are often vested with the resources, authority, and power to enforce the orthodoxy of their time. But institutions are also arenas in which both orthodoxies and authority can be contested. Between power and opposition lies the individual experience of the institutionalized. Whether in a boarding school, hospital, prison, almshouse, commune, or asylum, their experiences can reflect the positive impact of an institution or its greatest failings. This interplay of orthodoxy, authority, opposition, and individual experience are all expressed in the materiality of institutions and are eminently subject to archaeological investigation. A few archaeological and historical publications, in widely scattered venues, have examined individual institutional sites. Each work focused on the development of a specific establishment within its narrowly defined historical context; e.g., a fort and its role in a particular war, a schoolhouse viewed in terms of the educational history of its region, an asylum or prison seen as an expression of the prevailing attitudes toward the mentally ill and sociopaths. In contrast, this volume brings together twelve contributors whose research on a broad range of social institutions taken in tandem now illuminates the experience of these institutions. Rather than a culmination of research on institutions, it is a landmark work that will instigate vigorous and wide-ranging discussions on institutions in Western life, and the power of material culture to both enforce and negate cultural norms.
