Synopsis
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 and Minds strays from, and ultimately finds a way back to, the intuitive wisdom and intraconnection of the self.

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (540,391)
- e***u (282)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.
- e***n (392)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGreat transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
- 0***g (380)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExcellent purchase. Was able to get all three items from the one seller. Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.
