Festina lente: make haste slowly
Not all hurry leads to hastiness. Not all slowness is synonymous with tardiness. Because of all the hustle and bustle, sometimes we pass through life without even looking it in the face. And sometimes if we don’t hurry we let life pass by, and we get stuck on the treadmill, among abandoned dreams, renounced potential, desires swallowed by time. It’s what Ana Cristina Leonardos and Martha Estima Scodro show with great sensitivity in Festina Lente — Make Haste Slowly. More than crafting a beautiful study of the female soul, Martha and Ana Cristina reveal here that which is most human on the surface of finiteness, in the construction of identities, and in the transience of feelings.

Festina lente
Festina Lente ou apressa-te lentamente – Tempos e Ritmos da mulher aos 50 é um estudo sobre a mulher de 50 anos. A partir de uma pergunta: Qual a pergunta mais importante que você se fez no último ano e por que ela é importante? as autoras constroem, em relato leve e profundo, um mosaico de temas do universo temporal feminino. Esses diferentes temas remetem a outras considerações contemporâneas como a percepção do tempo cronológico e emocional, os desafios na busca de redesenhar a vida e, principalmente, o medo e o fascínio perante o horizonte de vida ampliado. O fio condutor da narrativa é a contraposição das ideias pressa e vagar, em aparente incongruência entre acelerar e desfrutar o tempo.

The Relational Imperative: Resources for a World on Edge
We enter an era of the unknown - global conditions move with unprecedented speed, unpredictably, disruptively, and uncontrollably. Conflict is unceasing and increasingly polarized. Global warming and the spread of deadly diseases are a threat to all. How are we to go on? One thing is clear: in these perilous conditions working together is imperative. As Gergen advances in this clear and compelling work, successful collaboration requires a radical transformation in our understanding of relationships. So long as we cling to the view that relationships are made up of separate entities - persons, communities, organizations or nations - our survival will be threatened. Rather, as Gergen proposes, we must reverse our understanding: it is out of the process of relating that emerge what we take to be the entities and their character. Care for the entities must be replaced by care for the process. This brief introduction to a relational perspective is bountifully illustrated with innovative practices - in education, healthcare, organizational development, peace building and more. All function to enhance well-being through relational process.
Social Construction on the Edge
The overall approach taken in this collection of essays is on the edge of social constructionism in that it emphasizes the spontaneous, expressive-responsiveness of our living bodies as providing the background glue that holds us together in all our relationships.
