Patterns of Hypertext
The apparent unruliness of contemporary hypertexts arises, in part, from our lack of a vocabulary to describe hypertext structures. From observation of a variety of actual hypertexts, we identify a variety of common structural patterns that may prove useful for description, analysis, and perhaps for design of complex hypertexts. These patterns include: Cycle Counterpoint Mirrorworld Tangle Sieve Montage Split/Join Missing Link Feint

Mobilizing the Poli
A detailed review of Judd Morrissey and Mark Jeffery’s The Precession. Published July 14, 2011.
--
Judd Morrissey’s newest work, theprecession.org is a website that redefines the act of reading literature on the internet in order to draw attention to the ways that reading is changing in our world. The website truly functions as the new book, with chapters that organize his intentions within the project into discrete capitulations of his ideas. My paper is mostly an analysis of the centerpiece of the website, POLI, because of its time-based nature: it uses real-time data capture and provides an extended period of time for the reading of the piece itself. POLI is a significant piece of contemporary literature because of its consciousness becomes political comment through the uses of our various languages.

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.

Navigating Nowhere/Hypertext Infrawhere
Various non-linear methods of structuring the lexia are discussed, including simultaneities and polylinearity. The simultaneity is similar to Aquanet relations. A distinction is drawn between the typical disjunctivity of the hypertext link and conjunctivity of simultaneities and relations. We begin the process of exploring the rhetoric of the conjunctive hypertext relation. Finally, the structuring of the lexia is intensified and extended into the fine structure of language itself: hypertext infrawhere.

Ut Pictura Hyperpoesis: Spatial Form, Visuality, and the Digital Word
This essay discusses the visual characteristics of hypertext (space, contour, depth) by situating it, as an artistic form, in the literary traditions that it extends and modifies. While, from a literary perspective, hypertextuality is nothing new, what is revolutionary is the way that computerized hypertext emulates the spatial and visual qualities that literary texts have historically struggled to effect. To illustrate the concept of spatial form I have chosen to analyze the mola web, a hypertext which is unique, though not abnormal, in the extremity of its link structure. One needs only think of the ubiquitous metaphor of the labyrinth in hypertext criticism or of the recent attention given to spatial user interfaces to see how dependent is the idea of hypertext on a spatial form.

Talan Memmott's "Lexia to Perplexia"
The combination of dynamic screen presentations with integrations of visual and textual ciphers is a characteristic of a net projects´ group in Memmott´s work. "Lexia to Perplexia" (2000) provokes attention as a maturated example of this group. Memmott developed "Lexia to Perplexia" as a hyperfiction combining icons, parts of codes resp. punctuation marks and neologisms via DHTML and Javascript. Users can investigate the possible screen presentations of the ten source codes resp. chapters. Memmott´s combinations of textual parts with pictures reflect relations between users (as "remote bodies"), their screens and networks. This article on "Lexia to Perplexia" explains connections between the internal parts of the project and proposes some clues for the interpretation of (relations between) ciphers in the hope to facilitate reading and deciphering.

Algunos apuntes para una novela colectiva
En este artículo Doménico Chiappe hace una lista de sugerencias a la hora de escribir literatura hipermedia:
• -Una narración hipermedia será novela si existen más de tres tramas;
• -La estructura será modular; no lineal;
• -El escritor hipermedia desarrolla una destreza para golpear la mente del lector con escenas mínimas, cargadas de mensajes;
• -Se narrará con fragmentos que el lector arma como un rompecabezas;
• -Cada capítulo contará una historia, con principio y final;
• -Libres de la dictadura del papel, los hipervínculos conducen a planos narrativos distintos, que narrarán sus propias historias: contenidos textuales, musicales, de animación, hemerográficos, orales, fotográficos, audiovisuales y plásticos;
• -Las imágenes serán ricas en interpretaciones;
• -Se permite el libre movimiento del lector, que tiene derecho de elegir sus itinerarios de navegación;
• -La calidad de la obra recompensará al lector por su interacción.Maya Zalbidea - 31.07.2014 - 10:55
