Frederick Dunn and David Knight Oral History Interview
No full textOral history interview with charter boat captains Frederick Dunn and David Knight. Knight is the owner of two party boats, one based in Stuart and the other in Fort Pierce, and Dunn is one of his captains. Knight had never worked in the fishing industry before buying his first boat in 2006. Since then, his business has been very good. Neither man is very familiar with the Oculina Bank as they arrived in Fort Pierce after the area was closed, and the regulations have not affected their fishing. Knight and Dunn believe that enforced quotas are the best fishery management tool since closing areas to fishing impacts the entire region\u27s economy. In this interview, Knight and Dunn describe how their business is operated and recount their entrance into the charter fishing industry

More than a business model: crowd-sourcing and impact in the humanities
No full textStuart Dunn examines the development of crowd-sourcing activities in academic contexts and identifies the potential for looking beyond the short-term benefits crowd-sourcing offers to a project’s completion. Particularly in the humanities, a more nuanced approach may be better suited, one which fosters reciprocal relationships and engages the shared interests amongst the public and academics
No. 617 Stuart Ruckman
No full textTranscript (12, 40 pages) of two interviews by Matt Driscoll with Stuart Ruckman on April 9, 2010, and July 7, 2011Ruckman (b. 1966) was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. Stuart shares how his family, particularly his father, played a significant role in introducing him to the outdoors. Some of his initial explorations included a hike to the top of Mount Olympus when he was five years old, backpacking trips in the Wasatch and Uinta Mountains, and a successful summit attempt on the Grand Teton when he was twelve. Stuart discovered technical rock climbing due to the influence of his older brother Bret, five years Stuart\u27s senior. Bret learned under Dennis Turville, a well-respected Salt Lake climbing instructor. Stuart shares his observations on the Salt Lake climbing community of the late 1970s and 1980s, noting the intimacy of the community, while also pointing out the significant influence of a handful of climbers, including Merrill Bitter, Les Ellison, and Brian Smoot. He briefly describes the proliferation of new-route development in the Wasatch during his first decade in climbing. In collaboration with his brother Bret, Stuart published comprehensive guidebooks on climbing in the Wasatch Mountains. Stuart\u27s contributions as a first-ascensionist and co-author of Rock Climbing the Wasatch Range attest to his lasting impact on Utah climbing. Interview is part of the Outdoor Recreation History Project. Interviewer: Matt Driscol

Redemption in the work of Francis Stuart
Full text linkThe idea of redemption is central to an understanding of the work
of Francis Stuart. Through an examination of its development and
expression, it is possible to demonstrate the integrity of his work and
its distinctive qualities. Such a demonstration is necessary because
Stuart's writing has been subjected to comparatively little scholarly
inquiry, although reviews of his work, especially that produced since
1949, suggest that it is impressive and important.
First, a general background to Stuart's work, a discussion of the
special problems associated with reading it, and a summary of his corpus
is provided. This indicates that the idea of redemption is important to
his earliest writing. The state of redemption is shown to be a
necessary apotheosis for Stuart's outcast heroes; it involves spiritual
suffering through which may be found a sense of reintegration and a
higher reality. This is expressed through interrelated themes such as
those of gambler, artist and ordinary man; mystic and criminal; sacred
and profane love; and spirituality and the mundane. The nature of the
redemptive experience is further elaborated by distinctive, complex
motifs, especially the hare, the ark and the woman-Christ. Their
recurrence provides an important element in the unity of Stuart's work.
Because Stuart's idea of the outcast raises important biographical
questions, an examination of the relationship between Stuart's life and
his work is made. Finally, the way in which the idea of redemption
exists in the language structures of Stuart's novels is examined, with
especial reference to his most recent work, The High Consistory. The
thesis shows that the development of the these of redemption
demonstrates the integrity of Stuart's work
Multi-Sited Ethnography and Digital Migration Research: Methods and challenges
No full textThe article reflects on the implementation of multi-sited ethnography in migration research and discusses the application of a range of qualitative methods to online and offline field-sites. Theoretically, this work situates the premises of multi-sited ethnography within a transnational paradigm that has long demanded alternative methods and theories able to capture the complexity, hyper-connectivity and flexibility of contemporary migrations. Empirically, this paper will present evidence from the author's ongoing research on and interest in the digitally mediated practices and discourses of Italian migrants who moved to London since the early 2000s. Three methods will be critically reviewed: web forum analysis, interviews and participant observation. In evaluating the research design, methodological approach and challenges encountered over the course of the project, it will be argued that multi-sited ethnography should not simply ‘follow’ but rather deeply engage with, and learn from, the contested meanings, appropriations and everyday uses of technologies by migrants
