Platformization, Digital Disinformation & Non-Democratic Politics
ENS Professor for Digital Studies Migle Bareikye is one of the organizers of the Summer School "Platformization,
Digital Disinformation & Non-Democratic Politics - Belarus in Comparative Perspective" to take place from 16-27 July 2024 at the European Humanities University in Vilnius, Lithuania. The Summer School will explore both the consequences of digital platforms’ omnipresence in non-democracies, with a special focus on Belarus, as well as the anti-democratic aspects of digital developments in democracies, such as digital disinformation. It emphasises the critical entanglement of both the emancipatory politicisation and deliberative democratic practices, and the unprecedented repressions in Belarus today with the reality of digital platforms. It also exploits the tension between the logics of infrastructures as stable and usually state owned and those of digital platforms as constantly re-programmable and privately owned and the ways this opposition develops and stands out in post-Soviet authoritarianism and in comparable cases.
The program features multiple contributions by Professor Migle Bareikyte as well as ENS PhD Researcher Johanna Hiebl. The full program is available online or for download below.
