James I - Paul Virilio (Routledge Critical Thinkers).pdf - Routledge Critical Thinkers - MKTK

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.

Ian James is Lecturer in French and Fellow of Downing College at the

University of Cambridge. He works in the area of modern French

philosophy and literature and his previous publications include Pierre

Klossowski: The Persistence of a Name (2000) and The Fragmentary Demand: An

Introduction to the Philosophy of Jean-Luc Nancy (2006).
