J. Abrams ha evolucionado a partir de la gestión de la verdad y el tiempo ligada a sus grandes protagonistas femeninas en Felicity (WB, 1998-2002), Alias (ABC, 2001-2006) y Fringe (FOX, 2008-2013), mediante una progresión a tres niveles: la identidad cambiante de sus heroínas, las mutaciones genéricas que corrompen tal identidad, y las ideas de temporalidad serial que socavan la continuidad espacio-tiempo. De una serie que asimila sus moldes y juega a denunciarlos (Felicity) a otra que explora las trampas del tiempo habitando sus límites (Alias), y a otra que transforma esos interrogantes en una división ontológica entre universos paralelos (Fringe).Universidad de Navarra201720172012info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10230/33352reponame:Recercat.
