      abstract = {This book focuses on the example of surrogate motherhood  to explore the interplay between new reproductive  technologies and new ethnographic writing technologies. It  seeks to interrogate the potential of fictional  multimodality in ethnography and to illuminate the  generative possibilities of digital artefacts in  anthropological research. It also makes a case for the  tailor-made character of ethnographic writing in the  digital era, arguing that research quests and  representational modalities can be paired together to  develop unique narrative forms, corresponding to each  particular topics traits and analytical affordances.  Focusing on the intersections of assisted reproduction  technologies and digitally mediated writing, this study  casts light upon the value of the affective, the fictional  and the real in the anthropological research and writing of  relatedness. Analyzing the situated knowledge of  ethnographers and research interlocutors, it experiments  with multimodal storytelling and revisits the century-long  debate on the affinity between an object of study and the  possibilities for its representation. As the first attempt  to bring together digital anthropology, fiction writing and  the ethnography of surrogacy, this book fuses the genealogy  of feminist critique on the orthodox, phallocentric, and  heteronormative aspects of academic discourse with the  input of digital humanities vis-a-vis troubling the  conventional formal properties of scholarly writing. Anna  Apostolidou holds a PhD in social anthropology (University  College London) and a PhD in digital education (Hellenic  Open University). She has taught, conducted research and  published extensively on gender and sexuality, digital  learning, refugee education, surrogate motherhood and  fictional digital writing.},
