This book examines the proliferation of surrogacy storylines on TV, exploring themes of infertility, motherhood, parenting and family. It investigates how, despite reproductive technologies’ ability to flex contours of family, the shows’ narratives work to uphold the white, heterosexual, genetically-reproduced family as the ideal. In dialogue with responses from a range of female viewers, both mothers and non-mothers, the book scrutinises the construction of family ideology on television with studies including Coronation Street (1960-present), Giuliana & Bill (2009-2014), Rules of Engagement (2007-2013), The New Normal (2012-2013), Top of the Lake: China Girl (2017) The Handmaid’s Tale (2017-present) and film Baby Mama (2008). These studies raise a number of questions; is homosexuality only acceptable when it echoes heterosexual norms? Are female characters only fulfilled when they are genetic mothers? Does heterosexual romanceoverride technology in the cure for infertility? While the answers to these questions may suggest that television still conforms to heteronormative narratives, this book importantly demonstrates that audiences desire alternative happy endings that show infertile female characters more positively and recognise alternative kinship formations as meaningful.

Therefore, remembering plays a key role in generating collective memory, which allows for the exchange of mnemonic content between individual minds, creates discourses on memory and commemoration, and disseminates versions of the past that may affect the representation of HIV/AIDS in the future.

Exploring Reproduction and Gender in Contemporary Feminist Speculative Fiction
Mothers Out of this World
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026

This volume presents the work of a group of international academics on the topic of reproduction and motherhood in contemporary feminist speculative fiction. While many works of feminist speculative fiction specifically address topics such as reproduction and reproductive control, these are currently understudied within the literature on the genre. As speculative fiction allows projection into other universes and times and imagination of different interpersonal relationships, in addition to questioning biological and gender(s) limits, it inevitably participates in the erosion of fossilized visions of motherhood, giving space to the search for new possibilities in places that we could identify as utopian or dystopian. It is in this fertile terrain where the contributing authors find room to explore other pressing issues such as reproductive biotechnology, ectogenesis or cloning, xenobiology, haploid organisms, grafts with living beings or with artificial entities, microchimerism and more that contemporary speculative fiction represents.
