Open Access Unrestricted online access star In a major new study of music, this book establishes a nuanced model of sustainability that re-imagines the relationship between music, place and capital in the rural creative economy. Based on detailed ethnographic research across the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, the author rethinks the importance of place-based innovation and people’s desire to participate in the arts to our understanding of economic, social and cultural sustainability in the rural creative economy.    Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Presented as a series of interviews conducted by three anthropologists from the University of Glasgow over a period of two years, the book explores Ingold's key contributions to anthropology and other disciplines. In his responses, Ingold describes the significant influences shaping his life and career, and addresses some of the criticisms that have been made of his ideas. Following an introductory chapter, the book consists of five edited and annotated interviews, each focusing on a specific theme: 'Life and Career,' 'Anthropology, Ethnography, Education and the University,' 'Environment, Perception and Skill,' 'Animals, Lines and Imagination,' and 'Looking Back and Forward.' Each chapter ends with a 'Further Reading' section, referencing Ingold's work and that of other scholars, to assist readers who want to follow up particular issues and debates. It concludes with an ‘Afterword’ authored by Ingold himself. Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Using a range of digital surveillance technologies and practices, and unprecedented public-private collaborations, intelligence agencies have extended their ability to collect, store and analyse data for intelligence purposes. Effective oversight is required to limit the potential for abuse. However, across Southern Africa – where digital surveillance is expanding – official oversight institutions typically lack the power and resources to monitor and review surveillance capabilities in order to ensure that intelligence agencies behave effectively and lawfully. Consequently, oversight in these countries typically is conducted by the public, through, for instance, challenging unjustifiable secrecy, publicising abuses and organising campaigns to rein these agencies in.Through comparative case study research exploring lessons from key moments in the region, this volume explores public oversight of intelligence-driven digital surveillance in eight Southern African countries and examines cases where this oversight either succeeded, failed, or achieved mixed outcomes. Authored by researchers and journalists from the fields of law, communication and media studies, this book offers lessons for academics and activists, suggesting that a new model of public oversight of surveillance is possible, and, arguably, functions better than extant approaches to surveillance. It will be of global significance, as surveillance abuses are a worldwide problem, as is the problem of oversight failing to keep pace with expanding surveillance capabilities.

Open Access Unrestricted online access star Despite recent calls to explore the full potential of digital text, digital scholarly editing and publishing remain rooted in the cultural and structural logics of print. This volume provides a wide range of perspectives on the current state and future of the field in an effort to further that dialogue, and to encourage continued exploration of how we make and share knowledge and meaning in the digital age. Digital editing and publishing in the twenty-first century brings together twenty chapters that cover practical design processes and conceptual approaches to editing born-digital material. The collection also engages with timely, important, and often-neglected topics, including accessibility, artificial intelligence, queer approaches to editing, and the data edition. By recognising the valuable insights and knowledge that can be gained from scholarly digital editions and by understanding the opportunities of their creative use, this volume emphasises how they can be made more widely available and relevant in various contexts beyond academia.

Chapter 7 Work and pray Chapter 8 Abuse and the failure of responsibility Chapter 9 Leaving home References Index Open Access Unrestricted online access star Though monastic life is often imagined to be a flight from the world, Benedictine monks take on the intense social commitment of life in close community. Drawing on long-term anthropological fieldwork in a Catholic English Benedictine monastery, this book traces the monks’ daily lives as they confront the eternal in the fabric of the everyday. Bringing into focus the vow of stability – a lifelong commitment to the monastery and its community – this ethnography explores the rhythms and architecture that sustain shared life in a world of movement and fleeting interaction. At the same time, it analyses those social processes that damage and undermine the monastic institution and those in contact with it – in particular the harm caused by sexual abuse. Engaging with the everyday dynamics of life in close community while paying close attention to the time-depth of monastic history, this is a study of how religious institutions endure and change through generations.
