This book asks how 21st century technologies such as the Internet,
mobile phones and social media are transforming human memory and
its relationship to gender. Each epoch brings with it new media
technologies that have transformed human memory. Anna Reading
examines the ways in which globalised digital cultures are changing
the gender of memory and memories of gender through a lively set of
original case studies in the 'globital age'. The study analyses
imaginaries of gender, memory and technology in utopian literature;
it provides an examination of how foetal scanning alters the
gendered memories of the human being. Reading draws on original
research on women's use of mobile phones to capture and share
personal and family memories as well as analysing changes to
journalism and gendered memories, focusing on the mobile witnessing
of terrorism and state terror. The book concludes with a critical
reflection on Anna Reading's work as a playwright mobilising
feminist memories as part of a digital theatre project 'Phenomenal
Women with Fuel Theatre' which created live and digital memories of
inspirational women. The book explains in depth Reading's original
concept of digitised and globalised memory - 'globital memory' -
and suggests how the scholar may use mobile methodologies to
understand how memories travel and change in the globital age.
