Abstract:

As the pace of life in contemporary Western society accelerates, an increasing number of people are engaging in an alternative lifestyle: ‘Slow Living’. Although popular in the media, Slow Living, which addresses issues of quality of life, is a relatively new area of academic enquiry. Given a lack of empirical research, especially on the realities of the Slow Life in a New Zealand context, this ethnographic study aims to augment the knowledge on this lifestyle by focusing on how families experience Slow Living. The key research question is: How do families live their interpretations of a Slow

Abstract:

This thesis takes its departure in the view of modern society as being characterised by a heavy focus on efficiency and economic growth, and perception that everything is moving faster and faster in line with Hartmut Rosa´s theory of social acceleration. The effects of this can be seen in rising numbers of stress related sicknesses and mental health problems, as well as a heavy pressure on the earths resources to facilitate continued growth. The aim of the thesis is to investigate the challenges and possibilities for individuals in Sweden to slow down and live a simpler life in this context. P

Abstract:

Rats are predominantly viewed and understood as pests, vermin and a risk to human health. Yet little is known about rats in the urban space and the entangled relationships they have with humans and the environment. This dissertation elaborates on the multiple identities that are connotated to rats as well as the complex relationships they have with people residing in Site C, Khayelitsha, Cape Town, South Africa - an African township comprising formal and informal housing areas on the outskirts of the city. Through locating these complex relationships and engaging with stories and experiences o

Abstract:

Os espaços que habitamos, com o passar do tempo, têm sido contaminados por uma “velocidade”. Esta velocidade, ponto focal do estilo de vida contemporâneo, causa em nós a sensação de que 24 horas não são suficientes para fazer tudo o que queremos. Podemos identificar a revolução industrial como ponto de viragem, quando o aparecimento da máquina e a celeridade que esta trouxe tiveram um forte impacto no nosso quotidiano. Para contrariar este processo é necessário assegurar a qualidade dos ambientes que habitamos, a qualidade dos espaços, qualidade de vida e da imagem. É necessária uma apropriaç
