Nanna Lilletvedt Sæten

PhD student in political theory using the history of time/temporality/historicity in political thought to investigate whether digital technologies are changing time. Following the rich field of time studies, Nanna is interested in the political implications of time, specifically as it is conceptualised in technology. In accordance with theories of time in modernity she seeks to investigate to what extent the temporality of digital technologies challenges or continues the experience of accelerating time since the industrial revolution. Technologies of particular interest: crypto currency, high-speed trading, deep-learning neural networks and quantum computing.
