Etica criminale. Le trasformazioni della figura dell’antieroe nella serialità televisiva
Abstract
Scopo dell’articolo è mostrare come nelle più recenti produzioni della serialità televisiva sia emersa la figura di un protagonista sempre più negativo, assimilabile alla figura di un eroe tragico. Questa figura atipica di protagonista solleva la questione della sua accettabilità da un punto di vista etico da parte dello spettatore. Un tentativo di risposta a tale quesito viene cercato nella prospettiva dell’etica narrativa di derivazione Ricoeur e McIntyre.
