A sociedade do espetáculo na contemporaneidade: uma análise da relação dos seres e a tecnologia através do episódio nosedive da série Black Mirror

Abstract

The aim of this work is to analyze the analogy between the episode Nosedive from the Black Mirror series and reality: how social networks can interfere in the behavior, psyche and relationships of the individual in the contemporary society. The research starts from a narrative film analysis of the cited episode, based mainly on the studies of theorists Bauman and Debord on society. The work was divided into three chapters: the first is intended for the conceptualization of the series, the passage from the TV format to the streaming model and the themes that are addressed by Black Mirror. The second will bring the presentation and definition of social networks, the reflections of the use of interaction media and how connections are being established and affected by the virtualization of relationships. In the third chapter, the analysis occurs through the description of the scenes, correlating with the aspects of postmodern society and with the theories brought in chapters one and two. Finally, it was possible to establish affinities between the dystopian universe and the physical world to which people are inserted.
