SANTAELLA, Lucia  y  GABRIEL, Martha. Why Black Mirror gives so much to think about?. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.62, pp.932-947.  Epub 30-Ene-2020. ISSN 1981-416X.  https://doi.org/10.7213/1981-416x.19.062.ds01.

Already in its first season, the Black Mirror series gained great popularity. The reasons for this are many. Among them, it is worth highlighting the dystopian way in which the narrative develops the questions related to the future of technologies from signs that are already visible in the present. For this, the episodes make use of hyperbole, that is, the exaggeration in the treatment of the chosen themes. The internet is full of websites and blogs that comment on and seek the fairest interpretations for each of the episodes that are often ingeniously engendered. The aim of this paper is to compare the exacerbation of the series’ themes with the compositional strategy of Edgar Allan Poe's horror tales. The intention is to highlight one of the most fundamental characteristics of the series narrative montage in order to subsidize its use in educational contexts.

Palabras clave : Dystopia; Hyperbole; Montage; Terror; Educational use.
