Slowing down modernity: a critique

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The connection between modernization and social acceleration is now a prominent theme in critical social analysis. Taking a cue from these debates, I explore attempts that aim to “slow down modernity” by resisting the dynamic tempo of various social processes and experiences. The issue of slowdown now accounts for a largely unquestioned measure, expected to deliver unhasty tempo conditioning good and ethical life, mental well-being and accountable democracy. In principle, there is little to object to in such well-intended goals. This paper, nonetheless, identifies several problems associated with slowdown, especially if presented as an incontestable doctrine. Despite its progressive feel, slowdown also stands for (1) a capitalist commodity, (2) a dangerous political objective that weaves together parochialism with fear-driven social sentiment and (3) an undesired subjective experience. Finally, I evaluate recent propositions around “accelerationism” and ask whether they might tackle the pitfalls of both social acceleration and slowness. I conclude by arguing that neither slow nor fast can be preferred as universal solutions.n
