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. 04 00 Notes on Authors -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction / Robert Gibb and Philip Tonner -- Conversation 1: Life and Career -- Conversation 2: Anthropology, Ethnography, Education, and the University -- Conversation 3: Environment, Perception, and Skill -- Conversation 4: Animals, Lines, and Imagination -- Conversation 5: Looking Back and Forward -- Afterword / Tim Ingold -- References -- Index Scottish Universities Press 01 Scottish Universities Press 04 01 20241022 02 WORLD 06 15 9781917341004 06 15 9781917341035 06 15 9781917341028 06 15 9781917341011 WORLD 09 Scottish Universities Press 20 01 urn:uuid:d99764cf-2d40-4722-8cea-ff791e822633 03 15 9781917341066 00 EB E101 10 01 01 Digital editing and publishing in the twenty-first century 1 A01 James O'Sullivan James O’Sullivan lectures in the Department of Digital Humanities at University College Cork, where he is Director of Research for the School of English and Digital Humanities, as well as a member of the Research and Innovation Committee for the College Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences.

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.

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. 04 00 Acknowledgements Part I: The nature of stability Chapter 1 The promise of stability Chapter 2 The architecture of stability Chapter 3 The rhythm of stability Part II: Prayer, private and public Chapter 4 Liturgical prayer and the limits of participation Chapter 5 Contemplative prayer and the problem of other people Chapter 6 Reading as prayer and learning to listen Part III: Flight from the world?
