Resumen
El trabajo propone tópicos de reflexión sobre la serie televisiva Dexter, emitida por el canal Showtime. Como narración proveniente de la industria cultural estadounidense su éxito llevó a que se difundiera en todo el mundo y que sus fans se multiplicaran. La serie tematiza la historia de un asesino serial diferente a los del cine hollywoodense. Dexter no quiere ser quien es y lucha contra una parte de él mismo que tiene como impulso matar; como él lo llama: su pasajero oscuro. En medio de esa historia se entrecruzan múltiples temas que tocan a la condición humana. El mal y el bien, la justicia y la injusticia, los héroes y los antihéroes son cuestiones constantes en la serie. Asimismo, las relaciones familiares, sobre todo entre el personaje protagónico y su hermana, son centrales a la hora de decodificar este discurso que, gracias a las tecnologías digitales, cuenta con adeptos de todo el mundo.
This paper proposes topics of reflection on the Showtime television series, Dexter. As a narrative from the American cultural industry, success led it to spread throughout the world, multiplying its fans. The series is about a serial murderer with a different story than the Hollywood ones. Dexter doesn’t want to be who he is and fights against a part of him that has killing as an impulse –his “dark passenger”, as he calls it-. As the story unfolds, multiple threads related to the human condition intersect. The good and evil, justice and injustice, heroes and antiheroes are regular issues in the series. Also, family relationships, especially between the main character and her sister, are essential while decoding this speech that, thanks to digital technologies, has followers all over the world.
