His discourses on speed, military technology, and modernity are highly influential among urban and cultural theorists, but he has influenced the work of many in other fields as well, including media theory, international relations, art history, cultural politics, architecture, and peace studies, to name a few.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first authoritative study of the life and work of Virilio, Steve Redhead's \u003ci\u003ePaul Virilio: Theorist for an Accelerated Culture\u003c\/i\u003e explains and analyses Virilio's work, correcting many mistaken interpretations that have surfaced in the literature over the years. Although now retired from his position at the École Spéciale d'Architecture in Paris, Virilio remains an active political and cultural thinker and commentator with a significant catalogue of work stretching back to the 1950s. Redhead reviews Virilio's intellectual career, from his days hanging out in an architect's office in the 1960s to his recent creation of a major art foundation exhibition on 'the accident' in the wake of 11 September 2001. \u003ci\u003ePaul Virilio: Theorist for an Accelerated Culture\u003c\/i\u003e is a rigorous and accessible introduction to Virilio that places him in the pantheon of critical thinkers in today's accelerated culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Redhead\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080203909X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802039095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/26\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.46h x 6.10w x 0.76d","brand":"Steve Redhead","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48621789249791,"sku":"9780802039095","price":71.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/paul-virilio-steve-redhead-9780802039095","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
