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

2. Storyspace 1

   Storyspace, a hypertext writing environment, has been widely used for writing, reading, and research for nearly fifteen years. The appearance of a new implementation provides a suitable occasion to review the design of Storyspace, both in its historical context and in the context of contemporary research. Of particular interest is the opportunity to examine its use in a variety of published documents, all created within one system, but spanning the most of the history of literary hypertext.

   EDITOR'S NOTE: This paper is interesting for the technical background it provides on many often-analysed works of electronic literature.

3. Biomorphic Typography

   BioMorphic Typography is a new conception of writing and a morphing typeface driven by biofeedback. It enables users to become aware of their autonomic physiological functions while they type, in real-time. In doing so, BioMorphic Typography seeks to challenge longstanding Western notions about the relationship among the senses, representation, and technology.
