Contemporary problems with the sustainability, effectiveness and reputation of the Australian public housing system are usually attributed to the influence of neoliberalism. \u003ci\u003eHousing, Neoliberalism and the Archive\u003c\/i\u003e offers a challenge to this established 'rise and fall' narrative of post-war housing policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eKathleen Flanagan uses Foucauldian 'archaeology' to analyse archival evidence from the Australian state of Tasmania. Through this, she reveals that the difference between past and present knowledge about the value, role and purpose of public housing results from a significant discontinuity in the way we think and act in relation to housing policy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlanagan describes the complex system of ideas and events that underpinned policy change in Tasmania while telling a story about state housing policy, neoliberalism and history that has resonance for many other places and times. In the process, she shows that the story of public housing is more complicated than the taken-for-granted neoliberal narrative and that this finding has real significance for the dilemmas in public housing policy that face us in the here and now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKathleen Flanagan\u003c\/strong\u003e is Research Fellow and Deputy Director of the Housing and Community Research Unit in the School of Social Sciences at the University of Tasmania.
