It brings together scholars in media studies, cultural studies, anthropology, literature, philosophy, psychology, theatre and game studies to analyse the significance and reverberations of Charlie Brooker's dystopian universe with our present-day technologically mediated life world. Brooker's ground-breaking Black Mirror anthology generates often disturbing and sometimes amusing future imaginaries of the dark side of ubiquitous screen life, as it unleashes the power of the uncanny. This book takes the psychoanalytic idea of the uncanny into a moral framework befitting Black Mirror's dystopian visions. The volume suggests that the Black Mirror anthology doesn't just make the viewer feel, on the surface, a strange recognition of closeness to some of its dystopian scenarios, but also makes us realise how very fragile, wavering, fractured, and uncertain is the human moral compass. 606 $aMotion pictures 606 $aTelevision broadcasting 606 $aDigital media 606 $aFilm and Television Studies 606 $aDigital and New Media 615 0$aMotion pictures. 615 0$aTelevision broadcasting. 615 0$aDigital media. 615 14$aFilm and Television Studies. 615 24$aDigital and New Media. 676 $a302.234 702 $aCarden$b Clarissa 702 $aGibson$b Margaret 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910482954203321 996 $aThe moral uncanny in Black Mirror$92845745 997 $aUNINA
