1. A Pragmatics of Links

   This paper applies the linguistic theory of relevance to the study of the way links work, insisting on the lyrical quality of the link-interpreting activity. It is argued that such a pragmatic approach can help us understand hypertext readers´ behavior, and thus be useful for authors and tool-builders alike. (Source: Author's abstract)

5. The Pleasure Principle: Immersion, Engagement, Flow

   While few critics writing on readers and hypertext have focused on the affective pleasures of reading hypertext fiction or interactive narratives like Myst, those who assess the experience of reading them tend to assume interactive texts should be either immersive or engaging. This study uses schema theory to define the characteristics of immersion and engagement in both conventional and new media. After examining how readers' experiences of these two different aesthetics may be enhanced or diminished by interface design, options for navigation, and other features, the essay concludes by looking beyond immersion and engagement to “flow, ” a state in which readers are both immersed and engaged.

6. Reconfiguring the Author: The Virtual Artist in Cyberspace (Keynote Address)

   In this presentation, Mark Amerika will discuss the state of narrative art in online culture. The presentation will highlight issues that concern all artists working on the Internet today including the slippery tensions between text and image, the desire to pioneer new modes of interventionist cultural production and distribution, the problematization of the "individual artist/author as genius" model, and the blurring of the lines between art, entertainment and what the corporate media industry likes to call content.

10. When Digital Literature goes Multimedia: Three German Examples

    In February 2000 Robert Coover noticed the "constant threat of hypermedia: to suck the substance out of a work of lettered art, reduce it to surface spectacle". Coover's message seems to be: When literature goes multimedia, when hypertext turns into hypermedia a shift takes place from serious aesthetics to superficial entertainment. What Coover points out is indeed a problem of hypermedia. If the risk of hyperfiction is to link without meaning, the risk of hypermedia is to employ effects that only flex the technical muscles. Can there be substance behind spectacle? In this paper I discuss three examples of German digital literature which combine the attraction of technical aesthetics with the attraction of deeper meaning.
