Arne Johan Vetlesen Ours is the era of globalisation. This means
that the world is expanding; pressing a key, I can immediately
reach persons living in another continent; products travel across
the world to the store just around the corner from me; thanks to
modern media, I am cognisant of events taking place right now
thousands of kilometers away. The world is expanding in the sense
that yesterday's time-space limits are rendered irrelevant; my
communications, my needs, my aspirations, transcend all such
givens. Whatever confronts me as part of my here-and-now, as making
up my present contextuality, I can - and will - easily transcend
and leave it behind. That the world is expanding means I am
expanding, insofar as my range of action, my horizon for thinking,
indeed for existing, is perpetually expanding. Expansion as such is
forever-happening; it is without limits. This is what we are being
told about the nature of globalisation. It rings true; or more to
the point, it sounds trivial. But perhaps it is neither. Let's make
a new start. Ours is the era of globalisation. This means that the
world is shrinking. It is becoming smaller and smaller. It imposes
itself upon me, wherever I go, whatever I undertake to do. It
exerts all kinds of pressure from all kinds of directions, on all
kinds of levels: psychologically no less than physically.
