1. From Lexias to Remediation: Theories of Hypertext Authorship in the 1990s

   How electronic-writing technologies will affect authorship remains an
   important issue in hypertext theory. Theorists agree that the author’s function
   has changed and will continue to change as writing migrates from the page to
   the screen, but they disagree on the specifics of how print-based and
   hypertext-based authorship differ and whether this digital migration constitutes a radical break from the age of print. Early hypertext
   advocates, writing in the early 1990s, claimed that naviagational features, such
   as hypertextual links, transfer a large degree of textual control from writers
   to readers, thus blurring the distinction between the role of the author and
   that of the reader. More recently, theorists began to dispute the idea that the
   hypertextual reading experience was necessarily more creatively empowering than
   reading a printed book. Exploring the arguments of influential hypertext
   theorists, this paper traces developments in hypertext theory in the United
   States during the 1990s. It describes how poststructuralism has informed

3. Re-construyendo la novela para un nuevo milenio. Postestructuralismo, discurso, lectura, autoría e hipertextualidad ante los nuevos caminos de la novela

   El postestructuralismo como conjunto de ideas teóricas de pensamiento ha forjado algunas creaciones novelísticas a lo largo de los últimos cuarenta años de tal forma que la novela en su conjunto, si bien paso a paso, está modificando su anterior estructura lineal, aunque el cambio no se haya generalizado aún, salvo en la literatura hipertextual propiamente dicha, gracias a la difusión y experimentación de las nuevas tecnologías. Me gustaría repasar la importancia que algunos de los principios del postestructuralismo han tenido sobre la estructura de tres novelas diferentes de autores, países, literaturas y décadas distintas, como ejemplos clave de una evolución.

4. Hypertext Theory

   In this text, Astrid Ensslin writes about hypertext through a medium-nonspecific sense and a more modern medium-specific meaning. She writes about what hypertext theory relates to and what its characterizations are, explaining how hypertext allows the users to interact through the use of textual and/or multimodal components. She also writes about when hypertext theory first emerged, how its been changing since the late 1980's and how its been establishing the field of hypertext criticsm and related areas surrounding digital fiction and poetry research.
