Abstract
[en] This dissertation explores the various ways in which the series Black Mirror questions the notion of humanness. Through the presence of human beings being treated as if they were not human, as well as AI entities being treated as human, the series provides numerous instances of dehumanization that are analyzed here. This dissertation also provides a original model of dehumanization which divides the phenomenon intro three subtypes.
