'Essential: to start from the body and employ it as a guide.' (Nietzsche, The Will to Power)

The appearance of such a book within the field of organization studies has been long overdue. It can be recommended to readers on many counts: the originality of the contributions, its concern for the body, its concern for feminist issues, and its scholarship. Most of these essays are supported by a wealth of interesting empirical material
