Since the publication in 1975 of Paul Virilios Bunker Archeology, the range of Virilios critical works and their impact is now clear within a variety of subjects. Making astonishing interventions into art and architecture, geography, cultural studies, media, literature, aesthetics, and sociology, the momentous implications of which have yet to be entirely understood, Virilio is the cultural theorist for our troubled twenty-first century.Responding to this growing interdisciplinary interest, Virilio Now: Current Perspectives in Virilio Studies comprises Sean Cubitts critical overview of Virilios oeuvre, an important newly translated text by Virilio interrogating the impact of contemporary art, and eight other major original essays by noted scholars on the wide scope of Virilios writings, inclusive of Adam Sharr on Virilio and the architect Peter Zumthors Bruder Klaus chapel, and Nigel Thrifts crucial assessment of Virilios City of Panic. Substantial coverage of Virilios essential texts such as The Information Bomb is presented alongside his hypermodern conjectures on television and speed, globalization, media, and representation. Navigating Virilios accident of art, the aesthetics of disappearance, and widespread cultural devastation, additional essays bring together considerations of financial adversity, war, calamity, and the apocalypse. Dazzling yet perceptive, these texts on the post-nuclear imagination, terror, and dread are simultaneously creative and theoretical extrapolations from Virilios scenic imagination and companion essays to his most contemporary, highly original, and powerful books such as The Original Accident and The University of Disaster. Clearly introduced by the editor, Virilio Now is the preeminent single-volume on Virilios work and world available today.
