What do indeterminacy and uncertainty mean in landscape research? Perspectives from natural sciences, social sciences, and arts
Landscapes, intentionally or otherwise, are often planned and managed in ways that create determined outcomes involving production, conservation, and aesthetics. While the focus of much research is on how to plan landscapes more effectively, this article explores how uncertainty and indeterminacy are inevitably also part of the research process. We present the results of discussions among a multidisciplinary group of researchers across the arts, …

Life expectancy of different ethnic groups using death records linked to population census data for 4.62 million people in Scotland
BACKGROUND: Few countries record the data needed to estimate life expectancy by ethnic group. Such information is helpful in assessing the extent of health inequality. METHOD: Life tables were created using 3 years of deaths (May 2001-April 2004) linked to Scottish 2001 Census data for 4.62 million individuals with self-reported ethnicity. We created 8 ethnic groups based on the census definitions, each with at least 5000 individuals and 40 death…
Understanding experimentation as improvisation in arts research
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to address the following questions: in what sense does experimentation as improvisation lead to methodological innovation? What are the implications of artistic experimentation as improvisation for education and learning? Design/methodology/approach – The paper tracks the known concept within research of “experimentation” with a view to revealing how practice-led research in art works distinctively with expe…
Movement and Moment: In-between Discreteness and Continuity
This paper explores a paradox. We breathe in, and then out. We walk by making paces, alternating left and right feet. Walking and breathing are made up of discrete intervals of space and time, involuntary actions of the living body, sustaining continuity. Continuity in movement is constituted by its opposite. The necessity to transpose the weight of our body between first the left and then the right foot creates motion. By analysing these discret…
Experiential knowledge and improvisation: Variations on movement, motion, emotion
Improvisation is a way of knowing that is experiential, pivotal to the body’s movement and growth in the world. It allows us to manage constraint and freedom in a rich world of possibility. Within this article we trace a trajectory from improvisation in life to improvisation in art. By focusing on practitioners who work with improvisation in precise ways in the fields of anthropology, ecology, visual art and music, we explore how improvisation an…
It's like they have two parents: Consequences of inconsistent socialisation of Inuit children
Drawing on data collected in Arctic Bay (Nunavut) between 1990 and 1994, this article illustrates how school has incrementally intruded on the customary socialisation practices of Inuit families. Consequently, the full expression of Inuit personhood is diminishing. This damage is inevitable because school, an institution of mainstream Canadian society, promotes an expression of personhood that is inconsistent with its counterpart in Inuit society…
