Thinking activity: Technoculture, speed and slow movement

Hello Readers!!

Here I share my blog on Technoculture, speed and slow movement. This activity given by Dr Dilip Barad sir click here to visit the blog.

                   

The slow Movement advocates a Cultural shift toward slowing down life's pace. A Cultural movement in favor of slowing down in a world obsessed with speed is a useful prequel to any debate about prosperity and macroeconomic policy. By considering the Slow Movement, we can contemplate one of the fundamental societal values that inform our current economic policy: how is time best used or spent.

The slow movement ( Sometimes capitalised slow movement or slow Movement) advocates a Cultural shift toward slowing down life's pace... " It is a Cultural revolution against the notion that faster is always better. The slow philosophy is not about doing everything at a snail's pace.

It is a Cultural revolution against the notion that faster is always better. The Slow philosophy is not about doing everything at a snail's pace. It's about seeking to do everything at the right speed. Savoring the hours and minutes rather than just counting them. Doing everything as well as possible, instead of as fast as possible. It's about quantity in everything from work to food to parenting.

Technoculture, speed and slow movement:

The dangers of speed which is an outcome of digital Culture are perceived in a difference way by mail four Author.

• Ulrich Beck- The Risk Society
• Carl Honore-In praise of slow
• Jean Baudrillard- Simulation and simulacra
• Paul Virilio- Speed and politics

This Slow Movement gives an interesting solution to the concerns raised by them.

Jean Baudrillard- Simulation and Simulacra

Reality itself has begun merely to imitate the model, which now precedes and determines the real world: "The territory no longer precedes the map, nor does it survive it. It is nevertheless the map that precedes the territory- precession of simulacra- that engenders the territory" According to Baudrillard, when it comes to Postmordern Simulation and Simulacra, "It is no longer a question of imitation, nor duplication, nor even parody. It is a question of substituting the signs of the real for the real"


Baudrillard points to a number of phenomena to explain this loss of distinctions between "reality and the simulacrum:

• Media culture
• Exchange value
• Malti National capitalism
• Urbanization
• Language and ideology

That is the representation precedes and determines the real. There is no longer any distinction between reality and it's representation. There is only the Simulacrum.

Paul Virillio- Speed and politics

Speed and politics is the matrix of Virillio's entire work. Building on the works of Morand, Marientti, and McLuhan, virillio presents a vision more radically political than that of any of his French contemporaries: speed as the engine of destruction.

He was observed Speed and technology replaces democratic participation, and undermine politics. Effective media politics diminishes the space of democratic political participation. Instantaneous communication actually reduces the time for detailed discussions, deliberations and consensus building.

His famous work "Dromology", it is an Ancient Greek noun for race or racetrack, which is applied the activity of racing. It is with this meaning in mind that he coined the term 'Dromology', which Virillio defined as the "science of speed". It is important when considering the structuring of Society in relation to warfare and modern media.
