Asociada con la pereza y la ociosidad, la siesta contraviene uno de los principios fundamentales del mundo moderno: la pulsión productiva. En los últimos años, sin embargo, este hábito se ha transformado en una herramienta central de la productividad, una rutina saludable, un imperativo del bienestar, e incluso una práctica cool, vendible y consumible. Frente a esa capitalización del sueño, este libro, a medio camino entre el ensayo y la memoria, defiende la siesta como un arte de la interrupción. Un evento excesivo capaz de frenar y transformar el ritmo desbocado del presente. Associated with laziness and idleness, the siesta contravenes one of the fundamental principles of the modern world: the productive drive. In recent years, however, this habit has morphed into a core productivity tool, a healthy routine, a wellness imperative, and even a cool, salable, and consumable practice. Faced with this capitalization of sleep, this book, halfway between rehearsal and memory, defends the siesta as an art of interruption. An excessive event capable of slowing down and transforming the runaway rhythm of the present.
