Abstract

This paper problematizes the power and the political dimension in the digital era, based on Paul Virilio's thought, which proposes a study around the cybernetic society and the virtual web.  After a contextual introduction about Virilio, the text develops the concepts of time, speed, power and chrono-politics.  Then the idea of political body and the Virilio's critical perspective about the technical revolutions are studied; finally, some relations between power and politics on the digital technical horizon of the 21st century are summarized.
