OITTANA, Leonardo Marcos. Velocidad y comunicación: La revolución de las transmisiones según Paul Virilio. Trama comun. [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.1, pp.177-194. ISSN 1668-5628.

This paper addresses certain aspects of Paul Virilio’s work with the intent of recovering a particular and innovative thought that will allow us considering some of the issues currently dealt with in communication studies, especially those focusing on the relationship between media, perception techniques and various forms of experiencing space and time. In this respect, the aim is to account for the most prominent and important aspects entailed in the revolution of transmissions and its development of an absolute and limit speed, while establishing some relations that could differentiate this revolution from a previous one, that is, the transport revolution. The modern electric and electronic means of communication - from the telephone, radio, photography, cinema, television to the arrival of Internet and the cyberspace - may have fulfilled the great dream of the human species, the most ambitious and daring project: the high-speed society, the dromological society, the race society, the dromocracy.

Palabras clave : Virilio; Modernity; Transmissions; Speed; Dromology.
