"Loss of Spirit",Dissolution,and Return of the Subject:An Examination of Subjectivity in Virilio's Aesthetics of Speed
All cognitive activities begin with and are grounded in human subjectivity.Without human subjectivity,there would be no history of human cognition.The significance of the vast universe is observed and understood through the"discovery of man."The ever-evolving technology is also a crystallization of human subjective wisdom.In his aesthetics of speed,Paul Virilio critiques tech-nology with seemingly radical rhetoric,but at its core,his work embodies a humanistic reflection on human subjectivity.By examining the dramatic changes in the subject's perceptual experience in the era of acceleration,Virilio analyzes the phenomenon of the subject's"loss of spirit"and the predicament of its dissolution.With a nostalgic stance,he points to a path of redemption for this in-creasingly disrupted perceptual world:a return to the perceptual reality of the body and an emphasis on deep emotional experiences.
