She has elaborated on these themes in numerous essays and has been part of many research groups that dive into the various ways social relations are organized and mediated. In this episode, Tiziana Terranova talks about her recent work on the concept of recursive colonialism, how colonialism is reproduced through repetition and diversification, as well as her interest in how technology affects the Mediterranean and the importance of looking at the history of technology from a non-Western perspective.
