Thinking Activity : Technoculture, Speed and Slow Movement


Hello Readers...

This is my educational blog for thinking about the activity slow movement & techno culture. This work given by Dr. Dilip Bard, Head of the English Department.

Introduction :


Risk theory for cultural studies illustrates the limitation of providing information about social culture, the potential for risk, potential solutions and so on. Risk theory reflects on the psychological impact of techno-culture where the cultural response to new devices is based on the awareness that they create new risks. Most systems social, political and technological are now self-referential: they generate risks and provide solutions.


Simulation and Simulacra :






  Simulation and simulacra are Jean Baudrillard's philosophical treatises of 1981, in which the author seeks to examine the relationship between reality, symbols and society, especially in the construction and understanding of the importance of culture and media and the shared existence of cognition. Simulacra is a copy that depicts things that either had no roots, or had no roots and had no roots. Simulation is the simulation of real-world processing or management of systems over time.




Slow movement :



  A movement that started with food and ended up touching millions. It all started when, in 1986, Carlo Petrini founded slow food to tackle fast food and fast life. The idea quickly became an international movement, reflecting an overwhelming desire for a cultural shift towards slowing the pace of life. This led to the launch of the Broder Slow Movement, which has now evolved into slow travel, slow cities, slow companies, slow parenting. To slow down is to slow everything down is just a gentle reminder to all of us that: We need to run so fast in life that we lose track of ourselves, our own values, and common sense. We need to reconnect with the inner voice that is used to guide us - because without it, both individuals, parents, entrepreneurs, and politicians are making critical decisions. We need to apply the same turbo - the speed of everything we do. Hurrying to some things is not surprising, so we need to get back to doing life at a decent pace and learn to slow down when life really matters. Carl Honore, author of the international best-seller book "In Prize Slough Alone" translated into more than 30 languages, recognizes the importance of slow luminosity. we have become more and more accustomed to speeding up every minute. Every moment seems like a race against the clock, a haunting blur to the finish line that we never reach. This roadrunner culture is advancing our health, our diet and ours. Everything from communities, relationships and diet and work to our communities, relationships and the environment.
