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
A qualitative exploration of the lived experience of being homeless
No full textHomelessness is a complex problem which has significant implications on an individual and societal level. There is strong evidence to suggest that amongst the contributory factors to becoming homeless, mental health problems and an increased vulnerability to substance misuse and addiction feature highly. Furthermore, traumatic events are often seen as contributory factors to mental health difficulties and substance misuse, whilst trauma experience has been identified as a risk factor for homelessness. Prevalence rates for psychological disorders related to trauma in high risk groups, such as war veterans, are significantly higher than the general population and as many as 6 per cent of homeless people are ex-Armed Forces personnel. The first section of this thesis is a narrative literature review summarising the existing literature linking trauma and homelessness and examining the current research for an association between trauma experienced during military service and homelessness. In addition, the clinical implications linked to the present diagnostic process and treatment approaches for trauma-related disorders are considered.The second section of this thesis is a qualitative study undertaken to explore the experiences of ten individuals, seven males and three females, residing in a homeless hostel who gave their accounts during semi-structured interviews. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was utilised in an effort to gain insight into the meaning of trauma within the lived experience of homelessness. The themes produced relate to the construal of the homelessness pathway, the impact of homelessness, and coping; with additional overarching themes of trauma and responsibility. The findings illustrate that the factors that influence the onset and maintenance of homelessness are complex and multifaceted and reflect the uniqueness of individual participant’s accounts whilst recognising the commonalities of their experiences. The clinical implications of the research findings are discussed including directions for future research
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)
