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 ideas are becoming increasingly influential, although they remain misunderstood and in contention by many. Virilio Live is a collection of past interviews given by Paul Virilio which provides a guide to his contribution to social and cultural theory. By using the interview form, John Armitage (one of the leading authorities on Virilio), extracts a direct, succinct form of commentary which facilitates comprehension and enlivens the thought of this key thinker. Here, Virilio speaks incisively 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' . the 'information bomb'. Virilio's thought on Foucault, Baudrillard, Dleeuze and Guattari. the perfromance artist Stelarc. the Persian War and the Kosovo War. Prefaced by Virilio, this book contains two newly translated pieces and two previously unpublished pieces, suggestions for further reading, and a select bibliography of Virilio's key works.
