Chapter 2Culture as Meaning

Inglis, Tom

Pages: 17 –39

[In hundred-years time, Angela Doyle will be dead and mostly forgotten. She will be a name among all the other names in the graveyard in Greyrock. To die is to enter into meaninglessness. For the moment, however, her life is full of meaning. We can imagine her busy in and around her home, on the...

Chapter 3Place, Family, and Identity

Inglis, Tom

Pages: 41 –63

[In and of themselves, places like Castlebay, Mayfarm, and the other localities in which I interviewed people, have no meaning. They are simply geographical areas. For outsiders, like myself, the roads, houses, shops, pubs, and churches do not generate the same emotions as for those live in the...

Chapter 4Money and Success

Inglis, Tom

Chapter 6Sport

Inglis, Tom

Pages: 107 –121

Chapter 7Religion

Inglis, Tom

Pages: 123 –153

[Throughout history and throughout the world today, religion is the rock on which the meanings of people’s lives are built. It provides an explanation of life, of its meaning and purpose, and serves as a moral guide on how to live a good life. Religion provides a definite worldview. It does this...

Chapter 8Love

Inglis, Tom

Pages: 155 –179

[We began this study with Angela Doyle. I chose her because in many ways she revealed how quite an ordinary middle-aged, middle-class woman was shaped by the culture into which she had been socialized, and how she used this culture to develop her social position and live a fulfilling and...

Chapter 9Conclusion

Inglis, Tom

Pages: 181 –192

[When we think of Ireland, we often think of a piece of land represented on a map, an island at the edge of Europe. If we can imagine a large CCTV camera suspended over the island, we would see thousands of people moving in and out of different places in rural areas, towns, and cities. From a...
