In search for the lost identity: a post-modern look at Lost

This study discusses the American television show Lost, in order to establish a relationship among technological advances, media and con guration of the contemporary subject, based on phenomenon of convergence as a possibility that integrates and modi es the subject. The analysis focuses on two moments. The rst characterizes its structure as a transmedia narrative, resulting in a format called convergence culture, that emerges nowadays with the mass of content and media that surround us. In the second moment, some elements are observed in the series that are correlated to themes addressed by postmodernity. Thus we intend to demonstrate how the narrative presented portrays situations of reality in ction, providing an identi cation of the post-modern subject with the show.
