“…Scull’s (1979 , 2006 , 2015 ) calls to expose the range of economic, social, political and cultural dimensions to ‘madness’ has inspired research into the spatial distribution of asylums ( Dear and Wolch, 1987 ; Philo, 2004 ), networks of the psychiatric profession ( Andrews and Smith, 1993 ; Miller, 2004 ), practicalities of ‘asylumdom’ ( Davis, 2008 ; MacKenzie, 1992 ) and individual practitioner and patient case studies ( Beveridge, 2011 ; McGeachan, 2014 ). Significant work has also opened up the smaller sites and spaces of the asylum, including laboratories ( Finn, 2012 ), cemeteries ( Philo, 2012 ), sports facilities ( Ellis, 2013 ), and specialist sites for treatment such as insulin coma wards ( McGeachan, 2013 ) and scientific intervention such as post-mortems ( Andrews, 2012 ; Wallis, 2013 ). Attention to the differing practices of surveillance in these ‘small spaces’ has also arisen, highlighting the configurations of power bound up with such institutional nooks and crannies ( Hide, 2014 ; Monk, 2008 ).…”
