About Westworld and the meaning of time in TV series ¿Alguna vez has cuestionado la naturaleza de tu temporalidad? A propósito de Westworld y los sentidos del tiempo en las series Gómez Ponce, Ariel TV series cyclic time Yuri Lotman cultural semiotics freedom series de TV tiempo cíclico Yuri Lotman semiótica de la cultura libertad We will analyze Westworld (HBO, 2016), story that allow us to exemplify how current series are working on interesting temporal disintegrations. In a special way, this will be seen through recurrence to a cyclical time, a category developed by Yuri Lotman's semiotics in order to explain the iterative, imperfect and timeless character in certain mythical texts. However, cyclicity concern a deeper semiotic mechanics, logic productive to evaluate the way in which cultural and textual systems organize their memories and model an understanding of humanity. Therefore, we will try to sketch a theoretical proposal in order to approach a methodical application and to account for some reasons of its relevance to read productions of meaning in the temporal configurations of some recent series. In this sense, Westworld functions as a representative text, an effective narration to elucidate that, behind the formal and argumental inclusion of this temporality, there is a strong questioning about the nature of freedom and the human condition. Analizaremos Westworld (HBO, 2016), relato que nos permitirá ejemplificar cómo un amplio conjunto de series actuales se encuentra trabajando disgregaciones temporales de sumo interés. De manera especial, ello se verá a través de la recurrencia a un tiempo cíclico, categoría desarrollada por la semiótica de Yuri Lotman en vistas de explicar el carácter iterativo, imperfecto e intemporal que ciertos textos míticos adquieren. La ciclicidad atañerá, no obstante, a una mecánica semiótica más profunda, productiva para evaluar el modo en que los sistemas culturales y textuales organizan sus memorias y modelizan una comprensión de lo humano. Nos abocaremos, por ello, a esbozar una propuesta teórica de lo cíclico con el objeto de acercarnos a una aplicación metódica y dar cuenta de algunas razones de su pertinencia para leer producciones de sentido en las configuraciones temporales de algunas de las series más recientes. En tal sentido, Westworld funcionará como un texto representativo, eficaz para dilucidar que, detrás de la inclusión formal y argumental de esta temporalidad, se emplaza un fuerte cuestionamiento sobre la naturaleza de la libertad y de la propia condición humana.
