O discurso de ódio na contemporaneidade das redes sociais de Internet em Black Mirror.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the episode Hated in The Nation, from the television series Black Mirror. Observing the use of freedom of expression for creation of hate speech, through the use of internet social networks, in the dystopian universe presented by screenwriter Charlie Brooker. In the discussion, there is a brief explanation of the concepts of utopia, as well as the emergence of its antithesis (dystopia) and the presentation of the main elements that contribute to the narrative. The work is divided into an introduction, which includes the motivations for raising this discussion, justification and main objectives addressed, two chapters and final considerations on the issue raised. In the first chapter, an overview of the TV series and the historical context will be found, as well as the definition and appearance of some important terms for this discussion, such as utopia and dystopia. The second chapter has the discussion about the modern panorama of hate speech on the internet, alluding to the theme addressed in the chosen episode. The episode highlights the tendency to use social networks negatively in a modern and futuristic world, in which social problems become more evident with the advent of the internet and users become judges of the attitudes of people with influence. For this analysis, the basis used was the study: “Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil”, by psychoanalyst Philip Zimbardo. At the same time that Black Mirror brings technology as something incredible and pleasant, which are already habits of our existence (mainly of generation Z), in the end all this always leads to a bad destiny.
