How is the Internet produced as an infrastructure in post-socialist
Lithuania? Migle Bareikyte contributes to the growing field of STS
and media studies with a distinct focus on Eastern Europe. She
situates the Internet development in Lithuania's telecom industry
with the exploration of its labor practices, geopolitical
imaginaries, and critical negotiations from a bottom-up
perspective. Bareikyte further explores how fieldwork-based
research can foster new theorizations of media infrastructures.
Finally, she argues for a situated investigation of new places and
actors beyond the United States and Western Europe-such as
post-socialist regions-in order to explore the diversity of media
infrastructures.
