1. From Papyrus to Hypertext: Toward the Universal Digital Library

   Reflections and predictions of technology's effect on reading and writing In this study, Christian Vandendorpe examines how digital media and the Internet have changed the process of reading and writing, significantly altering our approaches toward research and reading, our assumptions about audience and response, and our theories of memory, legibility, and context. Reflecting on the full history of the written word, Vandendorpe provides a clear overview of how materiality makes a difference in the creation and interpretation of texts. Surveying the conventions of reading and writing that have appeared and disappeared in the Internet's wake, Vandendorpe considers various forms of organization, textual design, the use (and distrust) of illustrations, and styles of reference and annotation. He also examines the novel components of digital texts, including hyperlinks and emoticons, and looks at emergent, collaborative genres such as blogs and wikis, which blur the distinction between author and reader. Looking to the future, reading and writing will continue to evolve based on the current, contested trends of universal digitization and accessibility.

   en que la memoria documental de la humanidad está siendo transferida del papel a un
   nuevo formato constituido por las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación: el
   formato digital. Como lo defne Javier Celaya en el prólogo, Elogio del texto digital (2012) de
   José Manuel Lucía Megías, pretende ser un “quitamiedos” para todos aquellos que ven el texto
   en formato digital como una amenaza contra el libro impreso.
   Megías refexiona acerca del famoso debate, recurrente en conferencias y mesas redondas,
   sobre si el libro electrónico sustituirá por completo al impreso y si habrá consecuencias catas -
   trófcas en los derechos de autor y la distribución y publicación de los libros. Es común
   encontrar intelectuales que desprecian el acto de la lectura en una pantalla o que piensan que la

3. The Many Ends of Network Fictions: Gamebooks, Hypertexts, Visual Novels, Games and Beyond

   This paper presents a digital humanities structural approach to branching stories across several media forms and genres over the past six decades – with special attention to patterns of endings in different narrative networks, as well as meta-patterns that mark the beginnings and endings of genres of branching literature.
