This open access book shows how figures, figuring, and
configuration are used to understand complex, contemporary
problems. Figures are images, numbers, diagrams, data and datasets,
turns-of-phrase, and representations. Contributors reflect on the
history of figures as they have transformed disciplines and fields
of study, and how methods of figuring and configuring have been
integral to practices of description, computation, creation,
criticism and political action. They do this by following figures
across fields of social science, medicine, art, literature, media,
politics, philosophy, history, anthropology, and science and
technology studies. Readers will encounter figures as various as Je
Suis Charlie, #MeToo, social media personae, gardeners, asthmatic
children, systems configuration management and cloud computing -
all demonstrate the methodological utility and contemporary
relevance of thinking with figures. This book serves as a critical
guide to a world of figures and a creative invitation to "go
figure!"
