2. Hypernews and Coherence

   This essay seeks to illuminate certain fundamental aspects of textual and cognitive coherence in the production and reading of hypertexts in general and hypernews in particular. A division into intranodal, internodal and hyperstructural coherence helps to clarify concepts and also seems to reflect certain distinctive features of hypertext as a concept representing a linguistic level above the text level. Likewise, van Dijk's conceptual distinction between macro- and superstructures proves to be useful for demonstrating how axial and networked hyperstructures respectively may maintain, strengthen or weaken various forms of textual coherence.

3. New Criticism Necessary? and Points for Hypermedia Critics

   From editors' description: Marsh's two nodes for this issue explore how criticism of hypertext and new media might differ from criticism of print literature. In New Criticism Necessary? he considers the question of 'newness' with regard to both current practice in new media and its related criticism and theory. In Points for Hypermedia Critics he proposes three 'axes' of analysis along which a formal study of new media might proceed, suggesting that hypertext/media is at once formative, performative and reformative in design and function.

5. Intent is Important (a sketch for a progressive criticism)

   Miles has contributed three nodes to this issue of JoDI. In "Intent is Important (a sketch for a progressive criticism) he discusses the question of authorial intent, arguing that hypertext criticism must not only consider a work's literary merits but also consider how what may seem to be technical imperfections can be intended, crucial aspects of a work.

6. Brandeis University, Comparative Literature Program

   The interdisciplinary program of comparative literature engages the study of literatures and cultures within and across national boundaries. It also comprises comparative analysis of literary texts and genres with visual art forms, social discourse and practices, as well as other expressions of cultural innovation.

   These forms preexist us — we are born into a certain culture, which consists of a set of discourses and practices — and shape our intellectual awareness of culture. They are not, however, static, but dramatic in nature and continually undergo change.

   Analysis of cultural differences, diversities and similarities will promote a greater knowledge of the rapidly changing globe we inhabit and also deepen students critical understanding of their own culture.

7. Generating Books: Paradoxical Print Snapshots of Digital Literary Processes

   Since the advent of the internet, advocates and critics alike have heralded the end of the book. George P. Landow observed that hypertextuality and poststructuralism emerged at the same moment, both due to dissatisfaction with the printed book and hierarchal thought. Derrida argued the question of writing could only be opened if the book was closed. Consider, then, the paradoxical position of Vienna-based publishers TRAUMAWIEN. Recognizing that although the vast majority of the text produced by computer systems – protocols, listings, error logs, binary codes – is never seen or read by those who consume it, this text is internal to our daily thoughts and actions and is thus literary. TRAUMAWIEN conceives of the print books it publishes as snapshots of computer generated literary processes which would otherwise be disappearing as soon as they are written. This paper will discuss the iterative processes by which I generated one such book published by TRAUMAWIEN in 2010.
