GLOBALISATION, HUMANISM, MODERNITY:
IN SEARCH OF EQUILIBRIUM
Monica Grigorescu*
Our time has proved to be amazingly effective in gropingly building up
a civilization which it has proved amazingly inept at putting in order.
(André Maliaux)
After so many crises which have followed each other in as many
areas, we ought to admit that industrial and technological civilization
is creating as many problems as it is capable of resolving. The myth of
progress, one of the founding myths of our civilization, also appears to
have collapsed as a myth. The development of modern society, spectacular
as it is from an economist’s angle of vision, has not been able to society;
stop a slide into human and moral underdevelopment. A deterioration of
quality in relation to quantity makes only those things that can be actually
measured appear to be real; unfortunately, things like poetry, suffering,
or love are hardly quantifiable.
Towards the end of his eventful life, Jean Monnet, a remarkable figure of the twentieth century, reasoned that, had he been able to start all over again, he would have begun with culture. A founding father of what was later to become the European Union, he expressed that belated belief in the pre-eminent role of culture as a part of greater civilization after he had tried for several decades to build a prosperous Europe in economic terms in the aftermath of a devastating war.

Dr. Mednick, whose results have just been published in Nature Neuroscience, wanted to know what effect power napping would have on people’s visual perception. She asked 30 student volunteers to come into her laboratory. Four times on the same day, at 9am, noon, 4pm and 7pm, they were required to stare at a computer screen for an hour. Their task was to pick out a vertical or horizontal bar from a striped background - an established test of visual perceptiveness. The more quickly they picked out the bar, the more acute their perception.
All the volunteers had slept well in the days before the test, and had been warned off alcohol. During the test day, nicotine addicts were allowed to indulge their habits, but everyone had to remain uncaffeinated. Despite this cosseting, the performance of the ten volunteers who went straight through the day without a nap deteriorated rapidly. Their best scores were first thing in the morning, and it was downhill from there on. By the last session, they were taking 52% longer, on average, to identify the orientation of the bar than they had in the first.
SIESTA TIME
Finally, vindication for power nappers. Far from being lazy louts,
siesta-takers are actually doing their bit for the firm. According to Sara
Mednick and her colleagues at Harvard, just 60 minutes of shut-eye in
the middle of the day can make you perform like the fresh daisy you were
first thing in the morning. But it has to be bona fide sleep; a mere rest,
they found, has no effect.Dr. Mednick, whose results have just been published in Nature Neuroscience, wanted to know what effect power napping would have on people’s visual perception.
