Mediated Kinship
«
"This is a groundbreaking book and must read for all interested in critical queer and feminist kinship studies. Methodologically innovative and theoretically rigorous, it raises new questions about what counts as kinship and community as affective attachments to "biology" become increasingly mediated, animated and challenged through a range of technologies."
Ulrika Dahl, Uppsala University, Sweden.
"Mediated Kinship is a ground-breaking, richly researched, and sophisticatedly theorized book on queer motherhood, kinship and racialization, based on empirical research on the recent queer baby boom in Scandinavia and the role of social media in queer reproduction and family building. Rikke Andreassen cuts elegantly through the biology versus social proximity debates regarding priorities in queer family building, looking instead at the fascinating messiness of queer mothers’ online practices."
Nina Lykke, Linköping Unversity, Sweden.

Illustrating the fascinating intersections of online media and new kinship, this book presents a study of the increasing numbers of single women and lesbian couples reproducing by using donor sperm. It explores how they connect with each other online, develop intimate digital communities and, most importantly, locate their children's hitherto unknown biological half-siblings, throughout the world.
