Description: It has been noted that several TV series have recently stretched the capacity of audiences to identify with evil characters. Based on an overview of several works of fiction, both literary and visual, and essays, the author proposes that we might have entered a period of ethical transition, in areas such as sexualmorals and the post-human. We may be living through a historical period analogous to the one described by French medievalist Jacques Le Goff in his classic study The Birth of Purgatory (1981): the emergence of a higher degree of ethical complexity, such as the one that required the “invention” in the 12th Century of atransitory intermediate state of purification and atonement of sins.
Se ha destacado que varias series de televisión recientes empujan los límites de la capacidad de la audiencia de identificarse con protagonistas malvados. A partir de una revisión de diversas obras de ficción literarias y audiovisuales, y ensayísticas, el autor conjetura que quizás nos encontramos en unperiodo de transición ética, asociado a la moral sexual y a lo posthumano. Quizás transitemos por un momento histórico análogo al que describió el medievalista Jacques Le Goff en su clásico El nacimiento del Purgatorio (1981): la emergencia de un mayor grado de complejidad ética, como el que requirió, en el siglo XII, la “invención” de un estado transitorio intermedio de purificación y expiación de los pecados.
