About
Clarissa Carden is a cultural and media scholar whose research explores the intersections of technology, morality, and the uncanny in contemporary visual culture. Her most-cited work, "Introduction: The Moral Uncanny in Netflix’s Black Mirror" (2020, 4 citations), establishes her as a leading voice in analyzing how speculative fiction interrogates ethical dilemmas in a digital age. Carden’s major contribution lies in her concept of the “moral uncanny”—a framework that reveals how narratives like *Black Mirror* unsettle viewers by blurring the lines between human and machine, right and wrong, and the familiar and the strange. Through this lens, she examines how popular media reflects and shapes societal anxieties about surveillance, identity, and technological dependency. Though her citation count is modest, her work is notable for its interdisciplinary reach, bridging media studies, philosophy, and ethics. Carden’s research offers students and scholars a fresh vocabulary for understanding the moral complexities of our increasingly mediated world, making her a distinctive and thought-provoking voice in the study of digital culture.
