'Quibbling,'
or Riddling the Reader (English)
|
Bernd
Wingert's report on a reading experiment that
performed three reading tasks regarding
Carolyn Guyer's hyperfiction: compiling the
narrative by reading, capturing certain
phenomena and peculiarities in the reception
process, and deciphering the effects of
"technology." Three different kinds of
reading (by subject; by traversing; by
assembling) were performed and are described
in this article.

Christoph

Himmel &
Hölle. Cyberspace - Realität im 21.
Jahrundert (German)
|
Roberto
Simanowski's essay takes a look into the
future and discusses the pros and cons of
Virtual Reality, as concerning visualisation,
cybersex, multiple identity, simulation ...
An excurse into the debate surrounding
mass-literature in 18th century as well as
the introduction of film reveals the
continuity of admonition in media discourses.
An excurse into Pascal and the early
Romantics reveals the continuity and
anthropological rationale of the desire for
entertainment.

Interview
with Espen Aarseth (English)
|
Roberto
Simanowski talked to Espen Aarseth about the
rapid expansion of research and development
of curricula, funded by Norwegian government,
in the field of hypertext, and the needs and
problems of classification and
categorization. He learnt why hypertext is
not a technology, but rather a dream of a
technology, why MUDs are something else than
storytelling, and to what extent the
distinction between art and commerce is
itself thoroughly commercial.

HT 1999
(English)

Bernd
Wingert's "Back to the Roots" is a detailed
review on the 10th ACM Hypertext Conference,
which convened in Darmstadt in February 1999.
It reports on such different issues as
generating glossary links in a semi-automatic
mode, adaptive hypermedia systems,
conditional linkage,
visualization
of relationships, and
gives a
helpful survey of various theoretical
approaches to the reading of hypertext-based
literature. The review also repeats some of
the questions we all carry around: How to
bridge the chasm between writers and
designers? Doesn't the labyrinthine reading
situation with hypertexts make readers, as
David Durand put it, like rats running
through a tunnel and hunting for "juicy
information"?

Hypertext in
Russia - Interview with Inna Kouper
(English)
|
Roberto
Simanowski talked to Inna Kouper about the
physiognomy of the Russian net, hypertextual
works about the Russian mentality, such as
Dmitry Galkovsky's hypertext "Endless
dead-end," the nineteenth-century Russian
equivalent of Raimond Queneau, N. Markevich,
and the mistaken conclusion that postmodern
theory is the basis for hypertext.
