Abstract
In this book, we will depart on a journey to better understand and explain how the nature and emergence of complex networks links with our social technologies. We will focus, in particular, on languages, knowledge, and networks. By doing so, insights from the fields of network science and media research are combined. As a first step, we look at the current state of this combinatory exploration within media research.

Foucault’s historiographical practices, in turn, have been influenced by his reading of Friedrich Nietzsche who noted on the historical method: ‘through which any previous “meaning” and “purpose” are necessarily obscured or even obliterated’ (Nietzsche, 1987: 77).
