The Mystery Box: narrativa matrioska e hipermediática en J.J. Abrams
Abstract
J.J. Abrams gave a TED Conference called J.J. Abram’s Mystery Box in March 2007, in which the creator of TV fiction reveals some of his most important narrative keys. Through the metaphor of a magic box, Abrams explains his concept of the generation of mystery in his stories and leads us to the key to his narrative approach: the use of what we have called “narrative matryoshka”, with a significant presence in Lost (ABC: 2004-2010) and Fringe (FOX: 2008- 2013), which are Abrams’ works with the greatest mythology and narrative complexity. The narrative structure used by Abrams is driven and energized by the hypermedia that characterizes our time because of the creation of storylines and the collective enrichment of the original serial texts by the fandom. In this article, we analyze how this affected Lost and Fringe. Key words: Abrams, Lost, Fringe, narrative, hypermedia. J.J. Abrams pronunció una TED Conference titulada J.J.

A través de la metáfora de una caja mágica, Abrams explica su concepto de la generación de misterio en sus historias y conduce al espectador hacia la clave de su planteamiento narrativo: la utilización de lo que hemos venido a denominar como “narrativa matrioska”, presente sobre todo en Lost (ABC: 2004- 2010) y en Fringe (FOX: 2008-2013), por ser las obras de Abrams de mayor mitología y complejidad narrativa. La estructura narrativa utilizada por Abrams se ve impulsada y fortalecida por la hipermedia que caracteriza nuestros días, por la generación de entramados y el enriquecimiento de los textos seriales originales a manos del colectivo fandom. En este artículo se analizará cómo todo ello ha afectado a Lost y a Fringe. Palabras clave: Abrams, Lost, Fringe, narrativa, hipermedia.Downloads
