Anotace

Paul Virilio is arguably, the most provocative French cultural theorist to have emerged in recent years. Renowned for his concept of `dromology', or the logic of speed, Virilio's writings are eagerly awaited by a large and growing audience.But, as much as Virilio's ideas are becoming increasingly influential, they remain misunderstood and in contention by many.This book offers the reader a guide through Virilio's contribution. Using the interview form, Virilio speaks incisively and at length about a vast assortment of cultural and theoretical topics, including architecture and `speed-space', `chronopolitics', art and technoculture, modernism, postmodernism and `hypermodernism', the time of the trajectory and the `information bomb'. His thoughts on Foucault, Baudrillard, Deleuze and Guattari, the performance artist Stelarc, the Persian War and the Kosovo War, are also gathered together.Edited by one of the leading Virilio authority's, the book contains a Preface written by Virilio and an accessible introduction. Four of the interviews appear here in English for the first time. The volume comes with suggestions for further reading and a select bibliography of Virilio's key works. The collection is a vital introductory text and an important reference work for students of cultural theory, sociology and political philosophy.
