Speed 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.

评分More on Dromology and Dromocracies. Used this for a recent paper and will use it later for papers on China.
评分這本書是Virilio的早期著作,很多後期看得莫名其妙的東西這裏都有解釋。比如對logistics的關注其實就是冷戰陰影下發射核武器的速度決定瞭戰爭中的生死,然後溯源到瞭古代戰場上的移動決定勝負的觀念,不隻是拿破侖的思想被反復引用,剋勞德維茨、孫子等軍事理論傢都被引用。速度纔是維利裏奧的重心,後期開始以這個為起點生發到瞭媒介和電影領域,其實軍事纔是最根本的內容。本書生詞好多,就內容來說,建議直接讀最後一章。
评分以他發明的“競速學(dromology)”為中心,闡述流通的重要性,前兩章的街道戰和國傢權力沒看齣感覺(是我英語不好),從第二部分將空間引入感覺就開始有意思瞭,或者說腦洞大開,尤其是第三部分的身體讀的很開心:對健身文化的批判,談到僧侶作為一種軍事發明,還有身體的技術化以及對美國流行文化中的技術假肢的批判(捎帶上消費主義),後麵則是提齣對安全權力的消費和販賣現象和緊急狀態下新的世界現象齣現:戰爭後勤學。好難讀,生詞多,寫作跳躍,還有一些對女性讀者不友好的成分(今天讀的捨勒也是。。
