The St. Magnus Street Tapes
A reflection of 40 years of intermittent ethnographic research on the Shetland Islands. This is an experiment in intimate ethnography. Each episode of the "A-sides" follows a single theme. The same theme is explored on the "B-sides" but through contemporary fiction based on a tale found in Lawrence Tulloch's Shetland Folk Tales.
The St. Magnus Street Tapes
Episode 3 - A-Side: Loss
Does the past require so much attention because the present is haunted by the constant possibilities of loss? Is a "way of life" only known because one suspects it has already passed?
