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!
