Their gloomy universes are persistent scenarios for the nightmarish stories they tell, where unhappy protagonists are caught in extremely suffocating power systems. Such fictional worlds stand as fundamental domains to explore the greatest social and political changes experienced by men. Starting with the industrial transformation and its impact on the factory system, going through the major technological changes of the XXI century, every historical period has dreamt its own utopian and dystopian dreams. At the turn of the millennium, Revolution 2.0 has marked a new era, having a direct impact on the way we see ourselves, other people and the world. The British series Black Mirror problematizes the new exteriorized subjectivities of human beings, which are influenced by the use of digital devices (Sibilia 1999, 2008, 2012), and turns the reflection of the relationship human-technology into a dark mirror where the world around us reflects; in this time and place. Las obras distópicas forman una larga tradición de continuidades, con sus oscuros universos que escenifican futuros de pesadilla en los que protagonistas infelices se ven atrapados en sistemas de poder extremadamente agobiantes. Dichos universos ficcionales se erigen como espacios fundamentales de exploración profunda de los grandes cambios sociales y políticos del devenir del hombre. Desde la transformación industrial y el impacto del mundo fabril a los grandes cambios tecnológicos del siglo XXI, cada época ha soñado sus propios mundos utópicos y distópicos. Con el cambio de milenio, la revolución 2.0 ha marcado una nueva era que impacta en la manera de vernos, ver al otro y ver el mundo. La serie británica Black Mirror problematiza las nuevas subjetividades, exteriorizadas, influenciadas por el uso de dispositivos digitales (Sibilia 1999, 2008, 2012) y hace de la reflexión en torno a la cuestión hombre-tecnología un oscuro espejo donde mirarnos, en nuestro aquí y ahora.

| description |
Dystopian works have a long-standing tradition in our culture. Their gloomy universes are persistent scenarios for the nightmarish stories they tell, where unhappy protagonists are caught in extremely suffocating power systems. Such fictional worlds stand as fundamental domains to explore the greatest social and political changes experienced by men. Starting with the industrial transformation and its impact on the factory system, going through the major technological changes of the XXI century, every historical period has dreamt its own utopian and dystopian dreams. At the turn of the millennium, Revolution 2.0 has marked a new era, having a direct impact on the way we see ourselves, other people and the world. The British series Black Mirror problematizes the new exteriorized subjectivities of human beings, which are influenced by the use of digital devices (Sibilia 1999, 2008, 2012), and turns the reflection of the relationship human-technology into a dark mirror where the world around us reflects; in this time and place. |
