Dr Irving’s research interests include death; illness and medical anthropology; interior dialogue, memory and imagination; visual, sensory and bodily perception; the anthropology of time; art; performances and aesthetics; experimental methods and collaborative anthropology; existential and phenomenological anthropology; urban anthropology and spatial perception.
His experimental art/anthropology research project, New York Stories, is funded by the Wenner Gren Foundation and the ESRC and aims to “research and represent how different modes of inner expression – including interior dialogues, unarticulated moods, imaginative lifeworlds and emotional reverie – constitute peoples lived experience of urban life and mediate social-cultural spaces but remain hidden beneath the surface of public activities.”
