Emerson in the Star Garden : Writing and the Sensuous World

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:This essay, based on a piece of creative non-fiction set in Lisbon’s Estrela Park and inspired by Emerson, explores questions of “slow time” and timelessness. It looks particularly at how these can contribute to mental well-being in an increasingly accelerated world in which virtual experiences are encroaching upon sensorially-based ones. It also looks at “slow time” as an activity related to the accessing and savouring of memories through the process of autobiographical creative writing.
