Things Come Apart by Todd McLellan (via theguardian)

Since its launch in spring 2013, the G+C Blog has continuously developed from a typical blog with rather short posts into a reviewed open access journal. This wasn't really our own active decision, but the platform happened to take this turn. In the last three years, we have published more than forty reviewed open access papers (all with DOIs), organized several international workshops and conferences, and edited three special issues. That's why we thought it's time to adjust the design and structure of the G+C Blog accordingly.

Thus we used the last weeks to update our editorial with statements on scope, review, submission, and open access. Moreover, we implemented new technical features to highlight important elements of each contribution. Apart from the familiar print and comment buttons, the article header now also provides:

• a label showing and linking the active Creative Commons license (usually cc-by 4.0);
• in the case of authored contributions, a tooltip indicating the effected review process (peer review or editorial review);
• and if available, options to select the language version of the article.

All of these features are accessible in our latest (now bilingual) issue on Distant Reading and Discourse Analysis. This edited volume might also serve as an example for our effort to update Foucault's thinking: Can we translate his concepts into a series of operations without losing their depth and complexity? The point of this bridge-building exercise lies in the prospect of a future archaeology of knowledge or genealogy of dispositifs, which might be achieved on a collaborative or participatory basis by means of digital media. We welcome any intellectual contributions to this ongoing debate!
