treatment is undoubtedly informed by a context where the concept of hysteria was very much in the zeitgeist. The word has more immediate relevance in history as well as other dialectic afterlives in current discourse, too.

Martínez Pessi. In 1983 a group of 154 children aged from 3 to 17 years old traveled alone to Montevideo on a flight coming from Europe. They were children of Uruguayan political exiles who were unable to come back to their own country. This action sent a clear political message for human rights defense and for freedom, but it also affected these children’s lives.

The non-serialized, binge-worthy model of releasing an entire season at once, introduced by Netflix and followed now by other streaming services, seems unable to create the same spectacle and shared collective experience of the weekly Game of Thrones phenomenon. Amazon spent $200 million just to buy the rights to adapt the popular fantasy series Lord of the
