Ph.D. project:
Articulations of surrogacy on the websites of surrogacy agencies and ART clinics located in Russia
The project concerns local assemblages that enable transnational surrogacy to Russia with a main focus on the surrogate, conceptualised as the material-semiotic generative node. While websites of the surrogacy agencies and reproductive clinics serve as an entry point into the worldings of Russian surrogacy, the project builds empirically on the range of data (national legislation, interviews, websites).
The project asks whether and how the status of the surrogate as human is challenged in the contemporary worldings of surrogacy in Russia provided by the agencies and clinics.
The project is theoretically anchored in new materialism.
