Textul de pe ultima copertă
"Reintegrating Severance provides a much-needed deep scholarly dive into one of the most philosophically interesting streaming series being made today. For anyone who loves the show, and for everyone interested in how popular culture moves scholarly conversations forward, the book is a must-read.”
--David Kyle Johnson, author of Sci-Phi: Science Fiction as Philosophy and editor of Black Mirror and Philosophy: Dark Reflections
Manifesting the zeitgeist of our post-pandemic world, AppleTV’s Severance probes the margins of work-life balance, the medicalization of normal human emotions, and the turbulence of disinformation, resistance, and reclamation. Fundamentally, the series grapples with systemization – how we organize and construct our histories, art and architecture, social orders, and bodies and minds. Written for both fans and scholars, Reintegrating Severance collects fifteen critical essays, each offering deep insights into an issue spurred by the series. Constructing History explores identity in the context of historical revisionism and corporate mythology; Art & Architecture builds on the first section by exploring the use of visual culture in shaping collective and personal stories; Agency, Autonomy, and Alienation dives deep into the political theories that earlier chapters have touched upon; finally, Multifaceted Bodies andMinds strays from, and ultimately finds a way back to, the intuitive wisdom and intraconnection of the self.
