As Extremidades de Thirteen Reasons Why: Suicídio é comunicação?

Abstract

Streaming consumption, which in Portuguese is called fluxo de mídias, is increasingly consolidated. Netflix follows this type of distribution in its content. Since 2011 in Brazil, the platform currently has a reach across the globe. Its original titles became a great differential for the communicational dynamics inserted in this post-media convergence ecosystem. They are exclusively digital works, accessed strictly by the user's subscription at a certain monthly fee, in addition to the need for internet for execution. In this work we present a critical reading from the Extremities vectors applied to the original juvenile title 13 Reasons Why, in addition to the brief systematization of Gestalt Therapy. Our objective is to insert in the critical reading a sensory and subjective perspective to the context of technology, mental health, communication dynamics and suicide (centrality of the serial narrative analyzed). From this perspective, we made the critical analytical path of the series from the deconstruction, contamination and sharing of that title, and the convergence present in languages, experiments and performances in total symbiosis between communication and suicide. It was found that we are facing a cognitive increase between the multiple factors interfered by biotic and abiotic agents on this user subject, expanding connections, hybridized languages and emerging flows. Based on that, the series under analysis materializes for a discussion centered on the need for new spaces for dialogue, the development of critical skills for reading and listening, in addition to looking in places bordering on marginality for the light of a taboo theme for translated research transdisciplinarity.
