Slow culture: an introduction
No full text[Extract] There is a powerful message permeating our social lives today, found in our self-help networks, talkback television and radio shows, and online forums. It is a warning that, through technology and modernisation, our lifestyles have become increasingly hectic, fast, complex and immediate. 'Life', writes online author Leo Babauta (2009, para. 2), 'moves at such a fast pace that it seems to pass us by before we can really enjoy it'. We are encouraged to take a step back, to breathe deeply and 'slow down', in order to recapture the essence of 'real' living. By doing so, we can escape the seemingly endless stresses associated with our multi-tasked, time-compressed and instantaneous speed culture (Tomlinson 2007). This book presents illustrations of how people are beginning to disentangle themselves from a speed culture by embracing slowness. It is not simply a matter of slowing down, as the term implies, but of undertaking changes in the way we do things at an everyday level. Underpinning these transformations is a concern, as Babauta (2009) suggests, with the uniquely stressful lifestyles we are living in contemporary culture
Conclusions: social assessment, natural resource institutions and the future
No full text[Extract] As the preceding chapters show, our knowledge and use of social assessment in the suite of planning and impact assessment methods and approaches has greatly increased in the last decade. Social assessment, however, is rarely well integrated within planning and impact assessment processes and is often used in a limited or reactive way. The observation of many practitioners, including many of the authors of this volume, is that social assessment rarely has a strong institutional base. Practitioners conclude that the competent, routine application of social assessment will only be achieved through its institutionalisation in the systems of governance of, and planning for, natural resources
Social assessment in natural resource management: promise, potentiality, and practice
No full textOver the past two decades, the systems, institutions, and methods of natural resource management have been under sustained intellectual and political attack (for example, Gunderson et al. 1995). The classic, utilitarian concept of natural resource management has increasingly been displaced y an approach that focuses on resources as components of adaptive systems and institutional performance as a crucial dimension of sustainable management (Eerkes & Folke 2000). The systems approach replaces the view that resources can be treated as discrete entities in isolation from the ecosystem and social and political forces, while the emphasis on institutions reflects the growing importance of understanding natural resource management as a social and political undertaking (Cortner & Moore 1999)
Nick Earls launches 'Wisdom Tree' - a new model for novella publishing, 9 Jun 2016
No full textBrisbane author Nick Earls discusses 'Wisdom Tree' a new model for novella publishing with fellow author and UQ Senior Lecturer in writing Dr Kim Wilkins. In 2013, Nick Earls realised his five best story ideas would need padding to become novels and would lose something if he tried to trim them to short-story size. He had to write them, and they had to be novellas. He also realised it was time to confront head-on the publishing industry's reluctance to work with the novella form. The result is Wisdom Tree, a new model for novella publishing, a PhD project and a chance to turn his best ideas into a series of five novellas to be published as individual paper, e and audiobooks at monthly intervals from May to September 2016.Introductions by Professor Doune Macdonald, Acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic)
