@Peter Jones: I agree – apart from not including new media: I think digital media can find their own way to be slow, not by just copying books.
I also think the revitalization of oral tradition is an important key to understand what happens with digitalization. There’s a little paper from me on the genesis of open content and the parallels between the evolution of fairy tales and open source software: http://bit.ly/3CRdZE

The book. Theatre. Liturgy. The old media are the ultimate slow media. Media are not a creature of time but of culture. A person must desire the fruits of slow to partake the media slowly. New media does not ecnourage this, but then, is it also due to the electronic channel and not the media as object? A book online, same text, will not be read as “slow.”

I bring in the cultural perspective because that’s key to McLuhan’s theories of media changing culture, and culture re-appropriating media. We’re celebrating McLuhan’s centenary globally in 2011, here in Toronto and worldwide. You may find quite a lot to like in McLuhan’s perspective. For example, the oral tradition of communication, which – true to the Laws of Media – is what the web has retrieved that we thought was in the past.

Großartig!
Please let me know if you think this is a slow medium: _The Little Germaniad,_ a verse memoir about expatriate childhood in Vienna, concluding with a frightening DDR-Czech border crossing at midnight on August 9, 1961, serialized as two quatrains per day at Twitter.com/formanex.

Thank you for this beautiful statement! I am distributing it to all my contacts, and hope to see this concept ever more widely accepted and acted upon.
