A propaganda onipresente e a crítica ao ambiente urbano:

o retrato do situacionismo na série televisiva Black Mirror

Abstract

This article is intended to relate works by author Guy Debord, including his collaboration in the European social criticism movement Situationism (1957) and his theory of the "Society of the Spectacle", with the British series Black Mirror, created by Charlie Brooker. Terms present in situationalist theses such as Deriva and Psychogeography, as well as the intensive approach to utopia, serve as the basis for criticism and analysis of episodes of the series, such as Fifteen Million Merits (2011), the one chosen to be studied in this work. The omnipresent propaganda and criticism of the human creation of the urban environment are the main points connected, shared by both works, which shows the presence and actuality of the situationist theses in the 21st century.
