I was about to post a reply in praise of your heroic stance, but then I had an accident refilling my fountain pen and have concluded that I would be better off handing every aspect of my pathetic life over to the robots.

Intimations of apocalypse notwithstanding, here are the journal’s plans for the future:

- 2026 will be a special issue on Le Plaisir du texte, guest-edited by Bryan Counter;
- 2027 will be a collection emerging from the recent ‘Global Barthes’ symposium in Leeds.

Et après? Who knows?
