      abstract = {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.},
