The research projects that make up these thesis are not studied in isolation but in the context of a range of other projects and activities which form a web of connection. This broader examination is important in order to understand the ‘patterns that connect’ the various aspects of this work and indeed life in general (Bateson 2000). The attendance at the Setanta launch provide a clue to the web of connection.
