Answering this question: 

lets say I was inspired by this manifesto, how exactly would I construct a review in this manner?

Reconstructing is to describe (or rather pointing to) the points of the medium that build up to a narrative (so any part of the description must, by definition of a narrative, have a relation with another part of the description). Instead of, or in addition to, describing (through technical terms or through metaphors), you can provide more intuitive references to the content. For example, when reconstructing literature, I quote a lot. For painting and movies, I provide images with annotations. For music, I haven’t decided yet. I think about including timestamps that can be clicked to play the corresponding segment.

Hello,

Thank you for your interest!

You’re right, that’s “all you have to do,” with an emphasis on attention span and sensory memory. For a TV series, there is actually an argument that the whole series can be considered a self-contained unit. It’s your choice (conventional medium delimitation). As a rule of thumb, I would only do that if the TV series is short (2 seasons max) or has a sense of closure, but that’s a personal choice.

Regarding emotional impact, the point of reconstruction is that it looks at the “raw data” before the emotional impact. By doing this, it can actually change the emotions you get from the content. So it’s not about eliminating emotion, but more about focusing on our perceptions first. The emotions will follow, even though they’re not mentioned by the reconstruction. You have a point about value implicitly held by reconstruction. But the only purpose of reconstruction is to enable the sharing of objective content. So it’s, by its very nature, and contrary to traditional interpretation, not worth anything by itself. It melds into the background.

For reconstructions, there are examples in the book, published on my site. I’m currently working on writing down the reconstruction of As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner. There are also many reconstructions I need to type or translate from French (some paintings and movies), but the most interesting ones are those about music, and I need to decide how I’ll present reconstructions of music. The project is in its infancy, so there’s a lot to do.

If you’re interested, I can send you links (can’t disclose them here due to forum policies).
