While the nineteenth-century consolidation of the anthropological culture concept shifted ethnological interests away from the figure of the solitary "savage" to wider structures of communal governance, it nonetheless accommodated the eighteenth-century caricatures of instinctive and passionate "savages" by redeploying the terrain of the instinctive onto collective forms of social organization. At the same time, European instincts were believed to achieve greater independence from the material stuff of daily life, being increasingly figured as outside of either social or material influence. The split appears in Freud's analogy of "savage" sociality and the European psyche in Totem and Taboo as a hesitation about whether law and custom are external to the "savage" psyche or constituent parts of it. Freud's chief ethnological sources for Totem and Taboo—Lorimer Fison and A. W. Howitt's Kamilaroi and Kûrnai (1880) and Baldwin Spencer and Frank Gillen's Native Tribes of Central Australia (1899)—do not mention instinct, but their analyses of savage sociality nonetheless become the basis for Freud's early instinct theory. Freud sometimes presents himself as partial to the idea that instinct obviates institutional reinforcement when he needs to make the case that social structures are not transparent reflections of human wishes. This article argues that the ambivalence that appears so frequently in Freud's analysis of instinct highlights the fact that institutions cannot be thought solely to regulate the undesirable components of instinct.

This paper reports on data pertaining to outsourcing collected from a survey administered in 2002 in Australia. The underlying assumption was that outsourcing is becoming popular for sound business reasons such as economies of scale and enabling executives to concentrate on core business activities. This paper explores the outsourcing decision (to outsource, not to outsource, or to discontinue outsourcing), especially reasons for (not) outsourcing. Most of the reasons have been anticipated in the literature. The strongest group of reasons (termed "Operational") pertained to cost savings and improving performance, but outsourcing is also used to access skills and resources not available in‐house. The most important impediment to outsourcing was ascertaining relevant costs, and formulating and quantifying requirements. We describe the methodology, report findings and allude to future research.

"Australische Aborigines waren und sind Meister in der Verknüpfung von Sozial- und Dingwelt. Die Besonderheiten dieser Verknüpfung werden gerade bei der Einführung neuer Objekte (Autos u.ä.) besonders deutlich, zeigen aber auch, dass die flexiblen Grenzziehungen wie die facettenreichen Vermittlungsbestrebungen zwischen den beiden Welten weniger auf einem opaken metaphysischen bzw. 'totemistischen' Weltbild fußen, sondern Ausdruck kulturspezifischer Eigentums-, Identifikations- und Kommunikationsstrategien sind." (Autorenreferat)

A true account of a young family's emigration to Australia in 1963 courtesy of the £10.00 assisted passage scheme, and the devastating effect it had once reality replaced the fantasies otherwise presented by Australia House. Unable to finance an immediate return due to the two years domicile penalty clause, the alternative would result in a most traumatic journey of four years; a disastrous encounter with the Nullabor Plain, a separation whilst I struggled for eight months and three days to secure five return tickets, amongst the wilderness of the North West Cape, where earnings were completel
