| Re: <nettime> CTHEORY Interview with Paul Virilio |
Hiya, Isn't interesting how the Kosovars seem to have completely disappeared from Virilio's analysis of their own national liberation war. This master-thinker is so excited by American technology that he misses that most of the serious fighting against the Serbian occupation forces was carried out by the UCK partisans using relatively low-tech weapons. Since this all happened 'off camera', it might as well not have happened for Virilio...
