This edited volume focuses on slow media, an approach that fosters intentional and thoughtful engagement with media of all forms. Contributors explore our individual and community relations with analog and digital media by critiquing current power structures underpinning contemporary media sensibilities, processes, and technologies. Through these critiques, the authors pose crucial questions surrounding how to slow down and be intentional within the landscape of accelerated media technology innovation and ubiquity. Building on existing media studies theory, the essays in this volume explore case studies of the intersections between analog and digital media, share insights from personal slow media projects, and propose useful methods for ethical and thoughtful media practices for both producers and audiences. Ultimately, this volume prompts readers to contemplate and reconsider the role of media technologies in contemporary life.

Recenzii

The rock band Savages tell us: 'If you are focused you are harder to reach/if you are distracted you available'. They reflect the fact that the temporal arena of slowness/acceleration is a key digital frontline in politics, economy, culture and society. We need to understand what's at stake, and Mary P. Erikson's edited collection is a much-needed jolt to our increasingly distracted state. This volume shows us how we can be harder to reach and become more focused on what's important to us in a platform-controlled ideology that is consumed with speed and finding new ways to addict us to it.
