THE POST-SOCIALIST INTERNET - MIGLE BAREIKYTE K...

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.
