摘要

传记学，也被称为集体传记，是一种被历史学家广泛使用的方法，但作为一种社会学研究技术却鲜为人知。在本文中，我们回顾了轮廓学的定义和用途，它的优点和局限性。我们以澳大利亚维多利亚州农村的比奇沃斯庇护板球队为例，描述了该方法中的步骤，并展示了成员参与城镇活动的程度。体位学被证明是社会学研究的有用工具，而这项研究的结果增加了关于澳大利亚精神病院工作人员的有限文献。

Cricket and the Beechworth Asylum, 1910–1915: A collective biography

Prosopography, otherwise known as collective biography, is a method that has been widely used by historians but is less well known as a sociological research technique. In this article, we review definitions and uses of prosopography, its advantages and limitations. We describe steps in the method with reference to a study of the Beechworth Asylum cricket team in rural Victoria, Australia, and show the extent of members’ involvement with activities in the town. Prosopography is shown to be a useful tool for sociological research, while findings of the study add to the limited literature about staff in Australian asylums.
