Covering many of the substantive areas of CMS, such as control and gender, and providing reflexive discussions and critiques, this Encyclopedia is a vital contribution to this important and unique field.With over 100 entries written by an international collective of expert scholars, it covers the full range of concepts and debates in CMS, from affect, alienation and anarchism, to whistleblowing, workplace wellbeing and writing differently.
