      abstract = {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 #jesuischarlie, #MeToo, social media  personae, gardeners, asthmatic children, systems  configuration management and cloud computing. Each chapter  demonstrates 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!"},
