Berthold Gunster Omdenken at work
the Dutch art of flip-thinking
Why... ...do we work anyway? ...do we often put on an act at work? ...do we try to prevent any mishaps, or friction, by introducing endless bureaucracy? ...do our 'solutions' only make the problem worse? ...does one co-worker continuously act like a baby, and the other like a bully? ...do we work in a world of busy-busy-busy, stress, and burn-out? ...is there so much unspoken suspicion between employers and employees? And how... ...could we omdenk (flip-think) these problems? Bron: Flaptekst, uitgeversinformatie

In this collection of essays, fourteen very different authors respond with distinct and challenging perspectives. Some report on their own experiments and experiences; some offer probing analyses...

The concept of assemblage has emerged in recent decades as a central tool for describing, analysing, and transforming dynamic systems in a variety of disciplines. Coined by Deleuze and Guattari in relation to different fields of knowledge, human practices, and nonhuman arrangements, "assemblage" is variously applied today in the arts, philosophy, and human and social sciences, forming links not only between disciplines but also between critical thought and artistic practice.
