Time, Space and Social Media: The Politics of Technology and Temporality

Alina Utrata chats with Nanna Saeten, a PhD candidate in Politics and International Studies at the University of Cambridge about her research on time, temporality and technology. They discuss how technologies of time have been used as tools of nation-building, why high-frequency trading and blockchain depend on human understandings of time as well as algorithms, whether technology is really “speeding up” or changing our experience of time and how social media has changed the way we experience political events across time and space.You can follow Nanna on Twitter @NannaLS, Alina Utrata @alinautrata and the Anti-Dystopians podcast @AntiDystopians.
