Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] The world of Black Mirror is a world irreversibly characterized by the technical action that man exercises on the environment. A world in which there is a "techno-aesthetic" dimension that ends up having repercussions on nature itself, but in which man is always at the center of the narration thanks to his sensitivity and capacity for imagination. An apparently dystopian and pessimistic view of the world, which, however, imagines not so much a society governed by technology, but a future dominated by men through technology. Starting from the hypothesis that a possible interpretative key to understanding Black Mirror lies in this subtle difference, here we would like, therefore, to reverse the skepticism about the excess of delegation and the dominant / dominated dialectic between man and technology, concentrating our reflection on a single episode: Universal Hatred (Hated in the Nation), directed by James Hawes, or the last of the third season of the series.
