Speed is the essence of the modern era, but our faster, more
frenetic lives often trouble us and leave us wondering how we are
meant to live in today's world. Slow Living explores the philosophy
and politics of 'slowness' as it investigates the growth of Slow
Food into a worldwide, 'eco-gastronomic' movement. Originating in
Italy, Slow Food is not only committed to the preservation of
traditional cuisines and sustainable agriculture but also the
pleasures of the table and a slower approach to life in general.
Craig and Parkins argue that slow living is a complex response to
processes of globalization. It connects ethics and pleasure, the
global and the local, as part of a new emphasis on everyday life in
contemporary culture and politics. The 'global everyday' is not a
simple tale of speed and geographical dislocation. Instead, we all
negotiate different times and spaces that make our quality of life
and an 'ethics of living' more pressing concerns. This innovative
book shows how slow living is about the challenges of living a more
mindful and pleasurable life.
