1. Interview with Michael Joyce

   Archivist Gabriela Redwine interviewed author Michael Joyce during his visit to the Ransom Center in April 2009. Excerpts from the interview are available as audio files and transcripts. Joyce talks about the reader community around early hypertexts, before they were even published and were just being passed from person to person on floppy disks, about connections between his work and Modernist authors (Stein, Joyce), about lowercase letters not being an obvious requirement to early computer programmers, about e-lit authors having to be their own critics and about the sensation of writing the first line of afternoon and knowing that this was different from conventional literature.

2. Ex-foliations: Reading Machines and the Upgrade Path

   In Ex-foliations, Terry Harpold investigates paradoxes of reading’s backward glances in the theory and literature of the digital field. In original analyses of Vannevar Bush’s Memex and Ted Nelson’s Xanadu, and in innovative readings of early hypertext fictions by Michael Joyce and Shelley Jackson, Harpold asserts that we should return to these landmarks of new media scholarship with newly focused attention on questions of media obsolescence, changing user interface designs, and the mutability of reading. In these reading machines, Harpold proposes, we may detect traits of an unreadable surface—the real limit of the machines’ operations and of the reader’s memories—on which text and image are projected in the late age of print.

5. Electronic literature or digital art? And where are all the challenging hypertextual novels?

   Lack of new and challenging, interactive hypertextual fictions causes a continuously growing frustration among literary scholars like myself. While we are witnessing a growing and exciting field within digital poetry, and especially digital art as such, hypertextual fictions seem to have become part of and/or floating into interactive digital performance and installation artworks. Noah Wardrip-Fruin’s CAVE-work Screen and Camilla Utterback’s Text Rain are among digital artworks based on text and words. According to Roberto Simanowski in “Holopoetry, Biopoetry and Digital Literature” (2007), however, Utterback’s work in particular, must be seen as a work of digital art rather than literature, since its aim is not to be read but to be played with. So how much text, how many literary generic traits must a hypertextual fiction include to be called literature and not digital art?

6. Perspectivas y problemas de la narrativa hipertextual

   Este artículo presenta los aspectos innovadores y los problemas de la ficción hipertextual. La novela hipertextual de múltiples autores presenta el siguiente problema: la noción del autor en la época postmoderna se disuelve con la múltiple autoría y el copyleft. El tiempo del discurso no es necesariamente lineal, porque no hay modo de escapar de la secuencialidad en el signo lingüístico, ni siquiera en la linealidad fragmentaria de Rayuela podríamos aproximarnos a la linearidad de un relato hipertextual, poque se trata de una realidad polifónica, de múltiples voces. Como consecuencia, la principal característica de una novela de estas características es la polidiacronía.
