AS REPRESENTAÇÕES DO EU NA VIDA COTIDIANA DE BLACK MIRROR/QUEDA LIVRE

Abstract

This work aims to make an analysis of the narrative in the episode "Nosedive", from Black Mirror, produced by Netflix, from concepts of the presentation of self, by Erving Goffman. It seeks to identify the application of concepts in the episode from an update of technologies and social networks in fictional daily life. We identify serial fictions as relevant media products in everyday life and explore how their representation in the media can point out fundamental issues for understanding society. From the analysis and reading of authors such as Thompson and Kelnner, we find that the narrative studied presents Goffman's concepts, showing the forms of representation of characters in the "real" and "virtual" world, as well as updating them by increasing staging time that social networks provide.
