  • Historical Musings: the Contours of South Dakota Political Culture
    Copyright © 2004 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Historical Musings The Contours of South Dakota Political Culture JON LAUCK, JOHN E. MILLER, AND EDWARD HOGAN like other states of the Midwest and Great Plains, South Dakota en- joys a moderate republican political culture, rooted in a belief in the equality of individuals and their ability to work together for the greater good. While similarities among these states abound, differences also persist. The political culture of South Dakota is distinct from that of Minnesota, known historically for its liberal leanings, and that of Wy- oming, known for its conservatism. The political culture of South Da- kota, where Populism originated, is even quite distinct from that of North Dakota, where radical pohtical reforms did not take hold until later. As the editor of the Watertown Public Opinion noted in 1890, the "politics of North Dakota is a product of an entirely different breed of cats."' We aim to sketch some of the influences that shape the broad contours of South Dakota's political culture and, therefore, the prac- tice of politics in the state. These contours, like those of a winding streambed, can change in response to events and trends from without but frequently return to form, or what anthropologist Adam Kuper calls "the authentic, local way of being different."^ The authors wish to thank Dwight Adams, Robert Burns, Loren Carlson, Herb Cheever, Alan Clem, Marshall Damgaard, Dave Danbom.

  • 1 Cowboy and Wild West Myths in Community and Franchise Banking
    Cowboy and Wild West Myths in Community and Franchise Banking of the Southwestern United States Anna Linda Musacchio Adorisio and David M. Boje Chapter for Rodolphe Ocler (ed) "Semantic and organizations: Myths, fantasms, unsaid and misunderstanding,” published by l'Harmattan (France). Max Alain Guenette is the series editor. Our chapter problematizes the relation between narratives of writing and oral stories. We propose a complexity between individual memory and collective memory of people in organization. Specifically our exploration suggests that there is a collapse of critical history, as the official codifications of the past become a sort of propaganda, a socialization of common sense, detached from the nuances social experience. Storytelling for us is the arena of several currencies of sensemaking: retrospective, ontologic-now, and prospective. We also include antenarratives (the bet of a future, & the pre-storying before narrative coherence). Antenarratives (Boje 2001, 2008) populate organization discourse, but because of the preference for retrospection they are overlooked phenomenon. The contribution of our chapter is to explore how myths in the banking industry (written as well as the oral tradition), create imbalances in what Nietzsche calls three histories: the antiquarian (stuck in the past), the monumental (antenarrative bids on the future) and a critical history (necessary to break bonds with the past and not be anchorless in the future). We then look at how the mythic aspects of “cowboy and wild west banking” are embedded in the architecture. We use the case to interrogate several theories of myth. Specifically in the banking lore we explore how hegemonic practices of franchise banks, in this instance, appropriate and distort the history of community banks.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.
