Resumen de Interactivity in fiction series as part of its transmedia universe: the case of Black Mirror: Bandersnatch

Begoña Ivars Nicolás, Francisco Julián Martínez Cano

• The special episode Black Mirror: Bandersnatch (Brooker and Slade, 2018) is one of the few interactive experiences that can be found in a fictional series episode. Interactivity, as a generator of transmediality, can be considered in two ways: interactivity with respect to content, content interaction, when contributions, recognized and/or rewarded, are interventions by the user but directed and controlled, without intervening the main plot of the piece, and influential interactions, which can influence the course of history. This text studies how the use of interactivity in Bandersnatch contributes to generate a transmedia universe of the chapter, as well as the series.
