"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, Apple TV'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. Nora M. Isacoff's scholarship integrates scientific and humanistic approaches to exploring mind, meaning, consciousness, and collaboration. She is the Founding Director of the New York Institute for Cognitive Science and the Humanities and a full-time Lecturer in the Discipline of Psychology at Columbia University, where she teaches interdisciplinary seminars such as "Consciousness and Cognitive Science" and "Language and Mind." She co-authored the book Data and Teaching (TC Press) Jennifer Dawes is a professor and Chair of the Department of Rhetoric and Writing at University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Her previous edited collection, Dark Tourism in the American West, was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2019. Her areas of scholarly interest include dark tourism, television, and cultural studies.
