2. Amor de Clarice

   Following Genette's forms of paratextuality, the process of quoting or re-writing in this poem involves a hypotext - the antecedent literary text (Clarice Lispector's "Amor") - and a hypertext, that which imitates the hypotext (the poem "Amor de Clarice"). Both hypotext and hypertext were performed and recorded by Nuno M. Cardoso, and later transcribed within Flash, where the author completed the integration of sound, animation, and interactivity. Following the hypotext/hypertext ontology, there are two different types of poems. In half of them (available from the main menu, on the left), the main poem (the hypertext) appears as animated text that can be clicked and dragged by the reader, with sounds assigned to the words. In these poems, the original text (the hypotext) is also present, as a multilayered, visually appealing, but static background. The sound for these movies was created by Carlos Morgado using recordings with readings of the poem.

4. Memoirs from Hijiyama

   This exquisitely designed site contains poetry in several modes: in lines of verse, as visual poetry, and as an e-poem that responds to the reader’s symbolic presence in the text: the pointer. The site is conceptualized “as a grave” made of [web] pages, words “flung to the far corners / of the earth” (quoted from the site manifesto). Each page consists of images and words arranged and offer the reader two ways of viewing the composition: discover (which keeps links hidden for reader to explore the surface of the image for them) and unearth (which provides a sepia tone for the background and reveals the links in the text, along with useful labels for them). Verbally it is also a collage of voices: from the victims to the pilot of the Enola Gay, who delivered the bomb in Hiroshima. This work is a powerful memorial to those lost in Hiroshima (and by extension Nagasaki). Simultaneously fascinating and horrifying, factual and ironic, the work reminds us of the very human side to the event and its aftermath.

5. Hypertextual Forms and Functioning of Their Units in Russian Literature of the 10s of XXth century – 10s of the XXIst century

   The theoretical background of the paper lies in postmodernist writings of Jacques Lacan, Jean-Luc Lyotard, Giles Deleuze, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida and Roland Barthes as well as in hypertextual studies carried out in the 1990's and 2000's by Jay David Bolter, Stuart Moulthrop, George Landow, Espen Aarseth, and Janet Murray. Four basic approaches to the hypertextal studies are surveyed: poststructuralist, describing but not naming the subject (R.Barthes, J.Derrida, J.Deleuze); utopian, dating back to the 1990 and claiming that hyperfiction could replace all the linear and paper communication (J.Bolter, M.Bernstein); narratological, tracing the nature of hyperfiction in the history of literature and narration (J.Murray), and ludological (E. Aarseth) speculating on hypertext’s correlation with game. Building on all of those, the paper suggests syntagmatic approach. The research is aimed to build a meaningful opposition between non-hierarchial hypertextual language and the paradigm of the natural language. The hypertext is defined as a text consisting of combinatorial permutable units that require an active reader.

7. Poem by Nari does Windows

   This hypertext poem examines language and instructions from help menus and other documentation in the Windows 98 operating system, juxtaposing it with texts and images from other sources (credited in “Windows”) as well as with original material. The formatting for the Windows texts is designed for readers to read them clearly, allowing for Microsoft’s prosaic, utilitarian voice to emerge clearly and deliver instructions for procedures that seem unnecessarily complex. The “Poem by Nari” texts (Warnell’s poetic persona) are made strange and poetic through visual formatting: primarily by eliminating spaces between words, arranging streams of texts in columns, and capitalizing by constraint rather than by convention.

8. Beyond Codexspace: Potentialities of Literary Cybertext

   First written and published in 1996, the unrevised form of this essay now comes across, in
   certain respects, as ancient history – a function of the notorious acceleration of cultural and
   media development since the explosive growth of the Web after 1994. And yet, it chiefly
   describes a productive engagement with writing in programmable and, latterly, networked
   media which dates back, in my own case, to the late 1970s, an all-too-human, rather than
   silicon-enhanced, historical context.
