Markku Eskelinen
& Raine Koskimaa (eds.) "There
exist a few things all the practitioners
in the networked and programmable media
can agree upon: we are facing new
aesthetic and literary and textual objects
functioning in ways that run counter to
the basic assumptions of dominant
theories.The articles in this Yearbook
take their cue from Espen Aarseth's
definition of cybertextuality, describing
and exploring the communicational
strategies of dynamic texts. The
cybertext theory may not solve all the
problems and riddles in the rapidly
expanding field of digital textuality, but
it is the most heuristic and reliable
point of departure so far. Here too it is
a perspective allowing us to make
elementary sense of the medium and start
alking across traditions, practices,
conventions and technologies. With the
mix of scholarly articles, interviews, and
technical papers, this book hopes to
create a broad forum for cybertext
discussion, in which practitioners,
developers, designers, users, critics, and
scholars may participate." Content - There
is no easy way to repeat this -
