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.Digitale GesellschaftInternet accessLithuaniaMass mediaLithuaniaPolitical scienceLithuaniaDigital Media.Media Studies.Politics.Society.Sociology of Media.Sociology of Technology.Internet accessMass mediaPolitical science015.41053Bareikytė Miglė1987-aut1725461MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQNZ-WeVULBOOK9910831595703321The Post-Socialist Internet4128536UNINA
