Polar Inertia

First Edition

Paul Virilio

Series:
Published in association with Theory, Culture & Society

December 1999 | 112 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd

Examining how the `here and now' of space, territory, the body, are being redefined by new technologies and how this undoes simplistic versions of the globalization thesis, Paul Virilio demonstrates how technology has made inertia the defining condition of modernity. An instantaneous present has replaced space and the sovereignty of territory; everything happens without the need to go anywhere. This book will be a key reference for students and scholars of the latest thinking in social theory.
