PAUL VIRILIO
Paul Virilio is a challenging and original thinker, whose work on technology,
state power and war is increasingly relevant today. Ian James situates Virilio’s
main texts in their political and historical contexts, as well as providing
accessible case studies from contemporary culture and media in order to
explain his philosophical concepts.
Taking
Negative Horizon
as a point of departure, Ian James introduces the
key themes in Virilio’s work, including:
• Speed
• Virtualization
•Wr
• Politics
•Art
As technological and scientific innovations continue to set the agenda for the
present and future development of culture, communications, international
economy, military intervention and diverse forms of political organization,
Virilio’s unique theoretical and critical insights are of enormous value and
importance for anyone wishing to understand the nature of modern culture
and society.
