The Slow Movement does not aim to shake the very foundations of all that have been built to date. It intends to reveal the possibility of living life fully but at a slower pace, where individuals can control and own their existence. The key lies in finding the right pace for each part of our daily race. 1, record 4, English, - Slow%20Movement

La philosophie de la lenteur semble actuellement quitter le champ militant et gagne de plus en plus de terrain dans une multitude de champs d’activités, notamment en Italie(terre d’origine de «Slow Food»), en Angleterre et surtout outre-Atlantique :«slow art», «slow home», «slow design», «slow school», «slow money», «slow marketing», «slow management», «slow folk», «slow cinema», «slow health», et même «slow football». [...] Telle est la sagesse de la lenteur, qui se manifeste à travers des formes de vie assumées, dans la recherche de la simplicité et d’un degré d’engagement plus durable envers les choses et les êtres. Prendre le temps de vivre et de savourer la vie, entre des rythmes différents, complémentaires, entre les exigences productives et temps pour soi, pour les autres. 2, record 4, French, - mouvement%20pour%20la%20lenteur

Se recomienda escribir movimiento por la calma, mejor que "movimiento slow", para referirse a esta corriente cultural. El movimiento por la calma surge como reacción contra el ritmo acelerado característico de la sociedad actual y propone hacer un uso consciente del tiempo, disfrutando de cada actividad con la pausa precisa para ello, en lugar de vivir atropelladamente. Así, en lugar de "movimiento slow", "filosofía slow", "slow food", "slow cities", "slow sex", etcétera, se recomienda escribir movimiento por la calma, filosofía de la calma, cocina con calma (o comer con calma), ciudades con calma, sexo con calma, voces que pueden alternar, por razones de estilo o precisión, con filosofía de la lentitud, cocina elaborada, comer despacio, ciudades tranquilas, sexo lento o sin prisas. Asimismo, se aconseja escribir movimiento por la calma en minúscula, de acuerdo con las normas de la Ortografía de la lengua española sobre la escritura de movimientos artísticos, políticos o ideológicos. 1, record 4, Spanish, - movimiento%20por%20la%20calma
