Implications for Situating the Internet as Infrastructure: 223 Bibliography 231 330 $aHow is the Internet produced as an infrastructure in post-socialist Lithuania? Migle Bareikyte contributes to the growing field of STS and media studies with a distinct focus on Eastern Europe. She situates the Internet development in Lithuania's telecom industry with the exploration of its labor practices, geopolitical imaginaries, and critical negotiations from a bottom-up perspective. Bareikyte further explores how fieldwork-based research can foster new theorizations of media infrastructures. Finally, she argues for a situated investigation of new places and actors beyond the United States and Western Europe-such as post-socialist regions-in order to explore the diversity of media infrastructures. 410 0$aDigitale Gesellschaft 606 $aInternet access$zLithuania 606 $aMass media$zLithuania 606 $aPolitical science$zLithuania 610 $aDigital Media. 610 0$aMedia Studies. 610 0$aPolitics. 610 0$aSociety. 610 0$aSociology of Media. 610 0$aSociology of Technology. 615 0$aInternet access 615 0$aMass media 615 0$aPolitical science 676 $a015.41053 700 $aBareikyte?$b Migle?$f1987-$4aut$01725461 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bNZ-WeVUL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910831595703321 996 $aThe Post-Socialist Internet$94128536 997 $aUNINA
