Talk:Slow movement (culture)

message: After reviewing the web site, "Slow Home," linked to in the "External Links" section, it appears that it has little to do with the genuine Slow Movement.  It looks to me as if that site has merely appropriated the moniker from the Slow Food movement - and the Slow Movement in general - in order to lend itself a little cachet.  I propose that the link to Slow Home be removed, as it is just another consumer-oriented web site and company, the very antithesis of the Slow Movement.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.2.240.21 (talk • contribs) 19:48, 26 June 2007
Slow home removed as per above request.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Greycar (talk • contribs)  03:47, 8 October 2007
Slow Retail also seems to have little or nothing to do with the actual movement, seemingly added simply for a quick link.  Thoughts?  Opinions?

message: User:Mindmatrix recently deleted an edit by an IP user which looks like vandalism, but actually isn't. It said:
"Slow Sex is a branch of the Slow Movement. It's an alternative to the fast-food sex that pervades our culture. Instead of using sex as an escape, we encourage people to feel into each nook and cranny of their sex. We find that by getting back to the basics of connecting to your body, being honest about your experience, and communicating with your partner, we can have sex that is more intimate and sensational."
I think that if this were written and referenced a bit better, it would be fine. Carl Honoré's book "In Praise of Slow" has a chapter on this.  -- Rixs (talk) 06:52, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article name 

message: I've just looked in on the Slow architecture page and found a tag saying “this article is in the process of being merged... (not “it has been suggested...” but that it is all done and dusted)” and that “the relevant discussion is on the article's talk page (nope!) or at the target article talk page (not here, either)”.
Can I suggest that if a merger of these pages is contemplated, that it be proposed, explained and discussed (per the relevant guidelines) so that some semblance of a consensus be determined. Hmm? Moonraker12 (talk) 19:24, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I moved that discussion to Talk:Slow Movement/Merge request, a subpage of this page and transluded it above. We shouldn't really be having discussion forks about a topic at a talk page of a redirect to the topic. Wbm1058 (talk) 15:11, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  What's going on here? 

message: *This proposal is too broad - It's unlikely that a consensus can be reached that is about so many diverse pages. For instance Slow reading is only partially about the Slow Movement, and has other reading-speed related information.  Also, even if duplication was removed, merging all of these pages would make an article that was too long.  Individual discussions about each article to be merged would stand a better chance of achieving some result.—Anne Delong (talk) 14:34, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: There has been little movement here since this time last year, and (as has been pointed out) the proposal is too unwieldy to produce any kind of consensus: So can I suggest it be closed, and if anyone has the enthusiasm for any of these merges that they be re-posted in a more practical form?

thread_title: Break

message: I've also reverted the unexplained page move on 30 August; there was no obvious reason for this, as the previous title was stable, and well-supported by usage; a Gsearch for “Slow Movement” (here) throws up  more than half a million results, while there is little evidence of a movement simply called “Slow” (see search, here). 
If there is any good reason for this title change, I suggest it be presented as a Request Move, to see if anyone else agrees that it's a good idea. Moonraker12 (talk) 14:39, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

message: Proposed addition to Slow Fashion:
     Functional and fashion novelty drives consumers to replace their items faster causing an increase of imported goods into the U.S alone. It is reported by the Economic Policy Institute that in 2007, the U.S has imported six billion dollars' worth in fashion articles. Popular brands, such as Patagonia, make products that are made to endure the test of time and be environmentally conscious. (Sharon Bloyd-Peterson)

message: Proposed addition to Slow Food:
     Tim Cooper, author of Longer Lasting Solutions, insists on “slow consumption.” He goes on to say, “The issue to address is what kind of economy is going to be sustainable in its wider sense- eco- nomically, environmentally and socially.” Saul Griffith introduces “heirloom design” during a February Greener Gadgets conference in 2009. He notes a lasting design, mend ability, and the option of being modernized to advocate slow consumption. Through legislation, alternative options, and consumer pressure can further manufactures into designing items in a more heirloom fashion.

     Although the initial purpose of the movement is to discover a way to enjoy food in a more traditional and relaxed manner, another side component of the slow food movement is its ability to inspire the growth of a social movement through the use of food. Though the movement itself may not seem as though it’s on an obvious path to politicization, the mobilizing effect can’t be ignored. As one-time vice president of Slow Food International, Alice Water’s states, “Is having a refined palate or training it a political act? I hope so; politics is not just voting. Politics in Greek sense was about every interaction that you had with every other person on the planet and learning to eat and appreciating the person who grew your food is [central to that].

message: Proposed addition to Slow Education:
     As an alternative approach to our modern faster styles of reading, such as speed reading, the concept of slow reading has been reintroduced as an educational branch of the slow movement. For instance, the ancient Greek slow reading practice known as Lectio, which is now known in our modern times as lectio divina, has become a way of reading that encourages more in-depth analysis and a greater understanding of the text being read. Though this method is originally of a christian monastic origin, its technique can be used in other areas of education besides the study of theology.

message: Proposed addition to Cittaslow:
     Cittaslow cities use the concept of glocalization to prevent the impending globalization of their cities. “The case of the Spanish Cittaslow towns offers a particular example of how towns can actively exploit the interpenetration of the global and the local. In these towns, a local–global relationship has emerged in ways that enable controlled development and the maintenance of local uniqueness.” (Servon, Pink, 2015)

message: Proposed addition to Slow Travel:
     The future of Slow Travel is aiming toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions by reducing car and air travel because the rate we are using planes and cars is not sustainable for our atmosphere. To achieve [the] goal of [reduced] plane and car use for travel, the Slow Travel Movement [aims] to make the journey as exciting as the destination when traveling. Advocates believe that the combination of environmental awareness and cost efficient traveling will move people towards Slow Travel. (Dickinson, Lumsdon, 2010)

I suggest that an image of the former would be a better fit for the article.  Carl Honoré appears to have a number of articles, for himself and his books, which mostly have a  marketing / promotional style.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.2.35 (talk) 17:02, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Currently it has a puffy description ("is to the slow movement what Das Kapital is to communism"), with a broken link as a citation. I couldn't find any evidence that it's really such an important book. 
Perhaps we should make it less prominent.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.137.149.161 (talk) 11:04, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
