About the Book

Academic Paper from the year 2017 in the subject Communications - Ethics in the Media, grade: 3, University of Innsbruck (American Studies), course: American Literature and Culture: America Through the Small Screen: Television and Its Transformations, language: English, abstract: The present work analyzes the exploitation of dissociative identity disorder (DID) through the entertainment industry, with a special focus on the depiction of DID in the TV series "Mr. Robot".
