| Sumario: | The first genuine appraisal of Virilio's contribution to contemporary art, photography, film, television and more. This collection of 13 original writings, including a newly translated piece by Virilio himself, is indispensable reading for all students and researchers of contemporary visual culture. Paul Virilio is one of the leading and most challenging critics of art and technology of the present period. Re-conceptualising the most enduring philosophical conventions on everything from technology and photography to literature, anthropology, cultural, and media studies through his own original theories and arguments, Virilio's work has produced substantial debate, compelling readers to ask if his criticism is out of touch or out in front of traditional perspectives. Key features. A wide-ranging treatment of Virilio's key theoretical concepts and themes from across his work on visual culture so far Surveys Virilio's aesthetics and socio-cultural ideas and how they function within his highly politicised approach to visual culture Examines Virilio's thinking from his initial works on war and cinema to his latest theoretical conjectures on art, perception and seeing |
