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 4 - A-Side: Memory
This episode explores memory and confabulation. We gather each other up in forms of recollection and retrospection, finding a place for each other in collective remembrances. Sometimes we argue over the details, but less so the genre of the story. No, the genre is usually clear and seems to me most often a way of forgetting that it could have been otherwise.
