About this product
Product Information
Today we recognize that we have a different relationship to media technology - and to information more broadly - than we had even five years ago. We are connected to the news media, to our jobs, and to each other, 24 hours a day. But many people have found their mediated lives to be too fast, too digital, too disposable, and too distracted. This group - which includes many technologists and young people - believes that current practices of digital media production and consumption are unsustainable, and works to promote alternate ways of living. Until recently, sustainable media practices have been mostly overlooked, or thought of as a counterculture. But, as Jennifer Rauch argues in this book, the concept of sustainable media has taken hold and continues to gain momentum. Slow media is not merely a lifestyle choice, she argues, but has potentially great implications for our communities and for the natural world. In eight chapters, Rauch offers a model of sustainable media that is slow, green, and mindful. She examines the principles of the Slow Food movement - humanism, localism, simplicity, self-reliance, and fairness - and applies them to the use and production of media. Challenging the perception that digital media is necessarily eco-friendly, she examines green media, which offers an alternative to a current commodities system that produces electronic waste and promotes consumption of nonrenewable resources. Lastly, she draws attention to mindfulness in media practice - "mindful emailing" or "contemplative computing," for example - arguing that media has significant impacts on human health and psychological wellbeing. Slow Media will ultimately help readers understand the complex and surprising relationships between everyday media choices, human well-being, and the natural world. It has the potential to transform the way we produce and use media by nurturing a media ecosystem that is more satisfying for people, and more sustainable for the planet.

Reviews
"With her wide-ranging Slow Media survey, Jennifer Rauch brings to the maturing Slow News Movement an experiential explanation that slow has its place throughout the media landscape DS it's not just a pushback against the nonstop news cycle. As she navigates her own experiments living free from cell phones and the internet, Rauch encounters fellow travelers suffering digital exhaustion. But this is no mere chronicle of complaints. Readers gently areguided by her own and other's examples toward a life with enough media-free time to enjoy their slow food." -- Peter Laufer, University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication"In a landscape where infinite acceleration has become the default way of developing technology, doing business, and running an economy, Jennifer Rauch sees a growing number of people pushing back against the mandate to scale. Here is a compelling argument for why less is more, and how media can once again promote human existence more proportioned to human beings."--Douglas Rushkoff, Author of 'Program or Be Programmed,' 'Present Shock,' and 'Throwing Rocks atthe Google Bus'"In this insightful book, Jennifer Rauch prompts us to reflect on mediated communication and digital media through a critique of speed in daily life. She persuasively argues that slow media enable deep thinking about technological progress, contemporary 'connected' culture and online relations. This is a powerful corrective to media scholarship that increasingly takes the online world for granted."--Chris Atton, Professor of Media and Culture, Ediburgh NapierUniversity, and author of 'An Alternative Internet' (2004) and 'Alternative Journalism' (2008)"In this spirited, sane, and savvy manifesto, Jennifer Rauch shows us how to forge a better relationship with digital media. A book to be devoured -- slowly." --Carl Honoré, Author of In Praise of Slow and The Slow Fix"We can long for glue pots and wire tickers that tick away in newsroom corners, or we can read books like Rauch's and come to grips with a new philosophy on how to do things differently, and maybe better and smarter before the news biz dies." --J.

This is an outstanding seller to deal with. Fair prices that are more than reasonable in this economy. The product is even better condition than described, a true value for my money. Packaged and shipped well shows seller has concern for the products he sells to arrive in excellent condition. The seller is friendly and communicates timely with his customers. All in all I highly recommend this seller and would do business again anytime. Thank you and be safe. Good luck to the future.

DVD rare à trouver en France, entièrement conforme à la description et bien sous-titré en français. Vendeur très sérieux, bien que les délais de livraison soient un peu long, mais c'est le prix de l'acheminement des États-Unis vers la France et cela n'est pas du fait du vendeur. Emballage soigné et dvd bien protégé. Très heureux d'avoir pu trouver ce film découvert sur l'esplanade du Centre Juno Beach de Courseulles sur Mer, cet été, en dépit des orages ! Vivement recommandé ! Et au plaisir !
