MORELLI, María del Rosario. Análisis de la serie "Dexter": Una aproximación a su relato en la cultura de la convergencia. Trama comun. [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.1, pp.151-161. ISSN 1668-5628.

We currently live in a convergence culture, and the TV shows we consume are another space where this new cultural environment is shown. The entertainment has taken the shape of transmedia storytelling, in which the way media is consumed is as important as the way it is produced. This article attempts to exemplify the current narrative and media situation with the case of the TV show Dexter. This corpus has, on one hand, interesting characteristics in the story it narrates. In turn, the Dexter universe is another example of the convergence culture, since it has narrations in different media, and a large number of fans active in the consumption and production of that world. First, the paper describes briefly the plot of the show, to then approach the characteristics of its story. After that, it is analyzed its insertion in the convergence culture, investigating the influence of its transmedia narrative in the story it tells.

Keywords : Story; Transmedia storytelling; Convergence cultura; Jenkins; Dexter.
