I loved reading this. It’s exhausting having such easy access to so many superficial words written about pop culture that reveals nothing about the art it describes, and conversely it’s a thrill to read something written with such obvious love and attention to detail, that enriches and rewards attention to the art in question. Thanks!
Thank you for reading it! I really appreciate it. I spent so much time thinking about it, that it’s rather exciting to release some of those thoughts into the world.
I would be lying if I could analyse something... anything... with this level of richness. Will leave with two things... enjoyed the read and learned a few things [metamoderism might be my new favorite thing], and very much hyped for the new season!
Thank you for reading it! Metamodernism is the best! To learn more, start with the links in the bibliography at the end (the sites Notes on Metamodernism and What Is Metamodern are excellent) also, I’m doing a podcast w Tim Vermeulen which isn’t specifically *about* MM, but is in the same area. (Ignore the Hanzi group that calls themselves MM. It’s a different thing…)
I, too, absolutely loved the first season and am eagerly awaiting season two. I hadn't considered the themes you discuss in relation to the show and how they mimic our current existence in relation to digital and real self. Most illuminating :)
Thank you for reading it! I don't think any of this was in the mind of the writer at all, but the series fit perfectly with the stuff I was already working on so took it from there.
Just left you a really long comment and Substack deleted it when I tried to check the name of an actor before I published 😩
The short version is I loved this piece and have you watched Patriot, which has very similar themes about Self and which also has Michael Chernus in it?
This is so freaking good, I almost read every word... and I can rarely read that far into a long article, plus I had to think a lot (in a good way). I relate! I live in this world the author describes. I feel this metamodern dissociation! Plus I love Severance even more now that I can think about it on another level. 🙏 Thank you for your time putting this together. Shared on my humble tumblr https://neuromantic.org

😭😭😭😭 That’s so annoying… No, I’ve not watched Patriot! You’re now the 3rd person to mention it in the past few months. *puts it on my watch list*
It’s really good. I’d love to know what you think if you do watch.
