Abstract

In the fictional TV series Severance, a chip inserted into workers’ brains enables a company to split employees’ work and life selves. As they enter the lift at the corporate office, people transform into and out of their work selves. Asiya Islam uses this extreme example to reflect on her research with women workers in India, considering the dynamics and implications of transforming the self for work.
