From the dust cover...
Out of print for almost a decade we are thrilled to bring back one of our most requested hard-to-find titles—philosopher and cultural theorist Paul Virilio's Bunker Archeology. In 1994 we published the first English-language translation of the classic French edition of 1975 which accompanied an exhibition of Virilio's photographs at the Centre Pompidou. In Bunker Archeology urbanist Paul Virilio turns his attention—and camera—to the ominous yet strangely compelling German bunkers that lie abandoned along the coast of France. These ghostly reminders of destruction and oppression prompted Virilio to consider the nature of war and existence in relation to both World War II and contemporary times. Virilio discusses fortresses and military space in general as well as the bunkers themselves including an examination of the role of Albert Speer Hitler's architect in the rise of the Third Reich.
