The dual tendency of modernism to both incorporate and reject the use of calculative operations in cultural practices can easily be overshadowed by concentrating exclusively on numerical transformations and statistical representations this dilemma, however, the ambivalent view of modernism on the operative discourses of calculation might gain new interpretative relevance for present cultural complex interaction by which calculative and non-quantitative discourses intermingle all the time, instead of supposing a homogeneous field of relations without the possibility of differentiating between cultural phenomena. As a set of mathematical operations, or even as a wide range of everyday practices to organize one's life-world, calculation cannot be restricted to the field of Kafka embedded calculation in different discursive contexts, showing the ambivalence evoked by both the integration and rejection of abstract mathematical operations. ./cache/work_crpy7vb2ebexvbd6vzhlgnevqa.pdf ./txt/work_crpy7vb2ebexvbd6vzhlgnevqa.txt
