Abstract : The sources for studies of alienation can be found in the theoretical explanations of modernity proposed by thinkers in the 19th century. Following on extensive changes in the processes of production in the 20th century and the ongoing digitalization of industry into the current century, alienation has taken on new forms, with a focus on the management and exploitation of the body. This article introduces these themes and how they are examined in the eight articles of the monograph. © International Sociological Association.
