Descripción Paperback. Condición: Very Good. 180 pages. This book explores the philosophy and politics of 'slowness' as it investigates the growth of 'Slow food' into a wo rld-wide, 'eco-gastronomic' movement. Originating in Italy, 'Slow food' is not only committed to the preservation of traditional c uisines and sustainable agriculture but also the pleasures of the table and a slower approach to life in general. Craig and Parkin s argue that slow living is a complex response to processes of gl obalisation. 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 slow living is about the challenges of living a more mindfu l and pleasureable life. - back cover. Nº de ref. del artículo: 2399ag
