Refik Anadol
This monograph presents a visually striking exploration of Refik Anadol’s data-driven installation, created for the opening of the new BRUSK museum in Bruges. The book offers exclusive visuals and reflections on the intersection of art, technology, and memory in Anadol’s work. Working at the intersection of art, science, and technology, Refik Anadol is best known for his large-scale immersive installations and public artworks that use machine learning, AI, and big data to visualize complex systems. Anadol’s work transforms raw data – ranging from urban landscapes to brainwaves – into dynamic, multi-sensory experiences, pushing the boundaries of how we perceive space, memory, and reality. For the inaugural programme at BRUSK, the new museum for contemporary art in Bruges, Belgium, Anadol presents a major site-specific installation that immerses visitors in a datadriven landscape unique to the city.

Kafka: A Very Short Introduction
'When Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from troubled dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a monstrous insect ...' So begins Franz Kafka's most famous story Metamorphosis.Franz Kafka (1883-1924) is among the most intriguing and influential writers of the twentieth century. During his lifetime he worked as a civil servant and published only a handful of short stories, the best known being The Transformation. All three of his novels, The Trial, The Castle, and The Man Who Disappeared [America], were published after his death and helped to found Kafka's reputation as a uniquely perceptive interpreter of the twentiethcentury.Kafka's fiction vividly evokes bizarre situations: a commercial traveller is turned into an insect, a banker is arrested by a mysterious court, a fasting artist starves to death in the name of art, a singing mouse becomes the heroine of her nation. Attending both to Kafka's crisis-ridden life and to the subtleties of his art, Ritchie Robertson shows how his work explores such characteristically modern themes as the place of the body in culture, the power of institutions over people, and thepossibility of religion after Nietzsche had proclaimed 'the death of God'. The result is an up-to-date and accessible portrait of a fascinating author which shows us ways to read and make sense of his perplexing and absorbing work.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Refracted Economies
Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, diamonds have been lauded as a "glistening" driver of the northern Canadian economy. Canadian diamonds are cast with an imagined purity as though they had emerged by magic. However, these diamonds are mined on Dene land and extracted by people who fly in from afar, separated from their families for long periods of time.Adopting a decolonizing and feminist approach to political economy, Refracted Economies analyses the impact of diamond mining in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. The book centres on Indigenous women’s social reproduction labour – both at the mine sites and at sites of community, home, and care – as a means of understanding the diffuse impacts of the diamond mines. Grounded in ethnographic work, the narratives of northern Indigenous women’s multiple labours offer unique insight into the gendered ways northern land and livelihoods have been restructured by the diamond industry.Rebecca Jane Hall draws on documentary analysis, interviews, and talking circles in order to understand and appreciate the – often unseen – labour performed by Indigenous women. Placing this day-to-day labour at the heart of her analysis, Hall shows that it both reproduces the mixed economy and resists the gendered violence of settler colonialism as exemplified by extractive capitalism.

Das REFA-Gedankengut
Diese Abhandlung hat die Aufgabe, das in der Öffentlichkeit unter der Bezeichnung RE,FA-"System" bekannte Arbeitsstudienverfahren in gemeinverständliche[', dabei aber betriebswirtschaitlich-wissen schaftlich begründeter Gesamtdarstellung aufzuZieigen. Die Schwerpunkte der Betrachtung liegen einerseits auf den Fragen der Meßbarmachunig menschlicher Arbeit und einer darauf auf bauenden wirtschaftlich sachgemäßen Lohnermittlung; andererseits kommt es dem Verfasser darauf an, das einschlägige und in der Regel technisch .ausgericht,ete Schrifttum hier durch eine spezifisch auf den Kaufmann und dessen Begrüfswelt abgestellte Schrift zu ergänzen. Diese Zwecksetzung bringt es mit sich, daß die angeschnittenen Fragen in mehr betriebswirtschaftlicher Sicht untersucht und in erster Linie die mit dem RE,FA-Gedankengut zusammenhängenden kauf männischen Probleme in das Blickfeld gerückt werden. Nicht zuletzt wird der Zweck verfolgt, den K,aufmann in die dies bezüglich einschlägige Begrüfswelt des Technikers einzuführen und umgekehrt den Techniker die Gedankengänge des Kaufmanns ver stehen zu lassen. Damit soll die Schrift zu einem kleinen Teil zu einer fruchtbaren Zusammenarbeit beider Partner im Betriebe und in der Wirtschaft schlechthin beitragen.

Kafka
Franz Kafka died in 1924, when he was not yet forty. During his life he published only seven small books, but he left behind three unfinished novels and a mass of stories, reflections and personal writings which were published after his death. His novels in particular, alongside short stories such as The Judgement and The Metamorphosis, have made him one of the most widely read, significant and influential writers of the twentieth century. His writings show an extraordinary ability to speak to the changing concerns of later generations.This collection of essays, illustrated with manuscripts, archival material, postcards and family photographs, not only sets Kafka in the context of his life and times but also shows how his own experiences nourished his imagination. Literal travel in Western Europe enabled him, as his notebooks reveal, to practise descriptive writing. Imaginative travel through reading strengthened his fascination with remote spaces and made him aware of European colonialism. Familiar settings in his fiction become alien and bewildering. When writing about animals, he sought to enter imaginatively into their non-human way of being. This book is a celebration not just of Kafka’s achievements and creativity, but also of how – even 100 years after his death – Kafka continues to inspire new literary, theatrical and cinematic creations around the world.

Refocus: the Films of Kelly Reichardt
Over her six-film career, including works like Old Joy, Meek's Cutoff and Certain Women, the independent filmmaker Kelly Reichardt has established a highly individual perspective on questions of gender, feminism, socioeconomics and sexual orientation, set within an aesthetic framework that is guided by the low-budget techniques of 'slow cinema', minimalism and neorealism. In this close reading of her films and production methods, E. Dawn Hall defines Reichardt's auteur characteristics, arguing that she offers a contemporary and sustainable model for independent filmmakers in America.

Graphic Refuge
Graphic Refuge is the first in-depth study of comics about refugees, asylum seekers, migrants, and detainees by artists from the Global North and South. Co-written by two leading scholars of nonfiction comics, the book explores graphic narratives about a range of refugee experiences, from war, displacement, and perilous sea crossings to detention camps, resettlement schemes, and second-generation diasporas.Through close readings of work by diverse artists including Joe Sacco, Sarah Glidden, Don Brown, Olivier Kugler, Jasper Rietman, Hamid Sulaiman, Leila Abdelrazzaq, Thi Bui, and Matt Huynh, Graphic Refuge shows how comics challenge dominant representations of the displaced and bring a radical politics of refugee agency and refusal into view. Rather than simply affirming the “humanity” of the refugee, these comics demand that we apprehend the historical construction of categories such as “citizen” and “refugee” through systems of empire, settler colonialism, and racial capitalism.Building on scholarship in critical refugee studies, architecture and infrastructure studies, and postcolonial theory, Davies and Rifkind argue that refugee comics move us through this wider recognition and towards more expansive ideas of refuge as a lived political relationship.

REFLEXIONS
Dans la lignee des grands ecrits aphoristiques (songez en effet a Nietzsche, Spinoza, Wittgenstein), ce texte, plus construit et plus systematique qu'Imo Pectore qui le precede, poursuit la pensee radicale de son auteur, et sa critique serree des societes africaines. En point de mire : les valeurs morales et philosophiques du continent, qui non seulement contribuent a affaiblir l'Africain, mais encore entenebrent sa pensee, pervertissent son comportement quotidien, comme elles pervertissent la tenue de nos administrations et economies. De la lecture de ce texte fort, limpide et magistral, qui porte d'ailleurs pour sous-titre Le Livre Des Nouveaux Africains, texte d'examen et de reevaluation des valeurs mene par le philosophe Ivoirien, nul ne sort indemne, mais au contraire contusionne d'abord, endolori; puis ravigote, nous voulons dire : confiant en l'avenir du continent.

Refugee Talk
'A wide-ranging, erudite and multi-faceted analyses of the fundamental problem of who gets to be counted as human' - Kate EvansRefugee Talk explores cultural responses to the ongoing refugee crisis. Looking at ethical questions and political rhetoric surrounding the refugee experience, the authors uncover the reality behind the fraught discussions taking place today.With an understanding of how to meaningfully negotiate responses through philosophy, media representations, art, activism and literature, the authors insist that a radically different approach is needed, advocating for, along with other reorientations, a new refugee vocabulary as a launching pad for interventions into polarised debates.By centring conversation as a method and ethical practice to engage in the discourses surrounding refugees, Refugee Talk is structured around dialogues with academics, activists, journalists and refugee artists and writers, creating a comprehensive humanities approach that places ethics and aesthetics at its core.
