Descripción
Sumario:By employing the episode “Nosedive” by Joe Wright as the object of study, this article aims to demonstrate how the concepts of spectacle, biopower and gender performativity form a causal chain, with the society of the spectacle presenting itself as a favorable sociocultural context for the practice of biopower, which, in turn, would reinforce gender-specific technologies of power, thereby stiffening and restricting the possibilities for expression of dissident gender identities. When carried out on the materiality of the body, these control and surveillance strategies become intertwined, forming a cluster of regulatory powers that are difficult to differentiate.
