I KORTHET Speed and Politics: A radical vision of speed as the destructive force shaping civilization. Bindning: Limhäftad. 8:o (upp till cirka 148x210 mm) År: Utg. 2006. Omfång: 174 s. ISBN: 9781584350408. Språk: EngelskaSPEED AND POLITICS (first published in France in 1977) is the matrix of Virilio's entire work. Building on the works of Morand, Marinetti, and McLuhan, Virilio presents a vision more radically political than that of any of his French contemporaries: speed as the engine of destruction. Speed and Politics presents a topological account of the entire history of humanity, honing in on the technological advances made possible through the militarization of society. Paralleling Heidegger's account of technology, Virilio's vision sees speed--not class or wealth--as the primary force shaping civilization. In this "technical vitalism," multiple projectiles--inert fortresses and bunkers, the "metabolic bodies" of soldiers, transport vessels, and now information and computer technology--are launched in a permanent assault on the world and on human nature. Written at a lightning-fast pace, Virilio's landmark book is a split-second, overwhelming look at how humanity's motivity has shaped the way we function today, and what might come of it.Hitta fler liknande böcker i dessa kategorier:Humaniora Politik & samhälle Utomparlamentariska metoder Hitta fler liknande böcker med dessa ämnesord:Social förändring Politiskt våld Revolutioner Sök fler exemplar av denna bokFler böcker av Paul Virilio Använd gärna länkarna nedan för att hitta liknande böcker.
