«Ville panique: Ailleurs commence ici» is the philosophy essay by Paul Virilio, published by Galilée in paperback (144 pages, in French).
Virilio starts from the city as the origin of politics and strategy to explain how, since 2001, metropolitan concentration replaces the geopolitics of nations. The attack on New York inaugurates a globalized terrorism: the suicide terrorist replaces the citizen-soldier, and classical war, with a declared enemy and possible victory, disappears.
The work, published in 2004, is part of the L'Espace critique collection by Editions Galilée.
For those interested in philosophy, urbanism and geopolitics, and in critical thought on contemporary terrorism.
Paul Virilio was a French cultural theorist, urbanist, architect and aesthetic philosopher. He is best known for his writings about technology as it has developed in relation to speed and power, with diverse references to architecture, the arts, the city and the military. Virilio was a prolific creator of neologisms, most notably his concept of "dromology", the all-around, pervasive inscription of speed in every aspect of life.
