Books by Carl Rhodes

A review of how organizations are represented in various examples of contemporary culture. This book demonstrates how that culture can be read as an embodiment of knowledge about organizations and explores the potential of such knowledge and the way in which the culture can reflect on the spirit of resistance, carnivalisation and rebellion.

This book assembles some of the bits that break off in the process of this collision. It plays with the already contested boundaries 'correct images' and 'correct narratives' of a legitimate organization studies so as to attest to a destabilization of any theory and method that would desire to capture, reproduce and indoctrinate knowledge.The book brings together a group of the most exciting, innovative and original thinkers and writers working in the field of organization studies today.
