Omschrijving
This book analyses some of the key problems explored in Paul Virilio's theorising on war and security.
Paul Virilio has developed a provocative series of writings on how modern societies have shaped the acceleration of military/security technologies - and how technologies of security and acceleration have transformed society, economy and politics. His examination of the connections between geopolitics, war, speed, technology and control are viewed as some of the most challenging and disturbing interventions on the politics of security in the twenty-first century, interventions that help us understand a world that confronts problems that increasingly emerge from the desire to make life safer, faster, networked and more efficient.
Security, Technology and Global Politics examines some of the key concepts and concerns in Virilio's writings on security, society and technology: endo-colonization, fear and the war on terror; cities and panic; cinema and war; ecological security and integral accidents; universities and ideas of progress. Critics often point to an apocalyptic or fatalistic element to Virilio's writings on global politics, but this book challenges this apocalyptic reading of Virilio's work, suggesting that - while he doesn't provide us with easy solutions to the problems we face - the political force in Virilio's work comes from the questions he leaves us with about speed, security and global politics in times of crisis, terror and fear.
This book will be of interest to students of critical security studies, political theory, sociology, political geography, cultural studies and IR in general.
