Book Description: Self professed urbanist', political thinker, and critic of the art of technology', Paul Virilio is one of the most significant and stimulating French cultural theorists writing today. Increasingly hailed as the 'archaeologist of the future' and the inventor of the concept of dromology', Virilio is noted for his proclamation that the logic of ever increasing acceleration lies at the heart of the organization and transformation of the contemporary world. Paul Virilio incorporates a variety of studies and asks who is Paul Virilio? What is the significance of dromology and disappearance? And what are the principal cultural themes of his important writings? The first book to afford a properly critical evaluation of Virilio's cultural theory, it includes an interview with Virilio; a recently translated example of his work; and a select bibliography of his writings. The commissioned contributions by leading cultural and social theorists examine Virilio's work from his early speculations on military and urban space to his current writings on dromology, politics, new communications technologies, disappearance, and the fallout from the information bomb'. Paul Virilio is required reading for all fellow archaeologists of the future, dromologists', and other students of critical cultural and social theory.
