Across the world, there has been a polite uprising to the perceived
meaninglessness and stress of our accelerated and consumer driven
lifestyles. Described simply as the slow phenomenon, this new brand
of living entails not simply slowing down, but an embracing of
alternative activities that promote meaning, thoughtfulness,
engagement and authenticity. Whether it is through different
practices of food production and consumption, alternative modes of
transportation such as cycling through to our intimate relations
with others, this new ethic of living has grown immensely in
popularity. In this volume of work, key authors from across the
world have been brought together to illustrate these alternative
approaches to modern lifestyles by analyzing them empirically and
theoretically. Through rigorous debate and insightful commentary,
this book presents a compelling case for seeing the slow phenomenon
as a significant cultural practice in contemporary society.
