Abstract: Accident, one of Paul Virilio’s essential concepts, embodies his radical attitude that “it must be otherwise”. To be specific, the accident of technology interrupts the established illusion of eternal progress of human practice, and the accident of art reshapes our vision of the world. As a technique of writing, the accident of literature involves the transition of perception in different dimensions. In terms of external effects, the translucency of literary technique has paradoxical senses which are comprised of embodiment and otherness, so that the mediation approach of the technical world replaces the binary model of the natural world. Hence, the accident of literature emerges when the perceptual system alters. On the other hand, the inner logic of accident adjusts the recipient’s attitudes towards the world of the literary texts. That is, the divisional paradigm of spacetime is no longer reliable; instead, the dynamic vision of quasitemporality reveals the compromise equilibrium between narratives and intentions. The accident of literature manifests itself in the tension between time and antitime.

Key words: accident, Paul Virilio, translucency, quasitemporality
