description 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.
