Tijana Rupcic

I'm currently a Ragnar Holm Fellow at KTH, where I'm working on turning my PhD research into a book.

My work focuses on the history of science and technology, with a particular interest in the development of electrical networks in socialist Yugoslavia and the broader Balkan region. I'm interested in how large-scale infrastructure projects shaped everyday life, state-building, and ideas about modernization.

In addition to this, I also research video games as cultural texts. I focus on dystopian and post-apocalyptic narratives, as well as themes of techno-religion, environmental collapse, and technological and environmental imaginaries. I'm especially interested in how games engage with ethical and existential questions in an age of crisis and rapid technological change.
