Resumen

El presente artículo analiza algunas de las ficciones clave que aparecieron en 1999: la primera película de Matrix, la tercera novela de Harry Potter y la cuarta temporada de Buffy, cazavampiros. Nuestro trabajo trata de demostrar que uno de los efectos inmediatos de estos textos, paradigmáticos de la estética postmoderna cada uno de ellos, consistió en fomentar el crecimiento de los estudios culturales a medio camino entre lo académico y lo popular. Al mismo tiempo, el presente artículo defiende, más allá de la importancia de esta bibliografía secundaria, la necesidad de tener en cuenta el contexto político y cultural de la época de estos textos para realizar un análisis correcto de los mismos.
