In his widely acclaimed book "Hypertext" George P. Landow
described a radically new information technology and its
relationship to the work of such literary theorists as Jacques
Derrida and Roland Barthes. Now Landow has brought together a
distinguished group of authorities to explore more fully the
implications of hypertextual reading for contemporary literary
theory.
Among the contributors, Charles Ess uses the work of Jurgen
Habermas and the Frankfurt School to examine hypertext's potential
for true democratization. Stuart Moulthrop turns to Deleuze and
Guattari as a point of departure for a study of the relation of
hypertext and political power. Espen Aarseth places hypertext
within a framework created by other forms of electronic textuality.
David Kolb explores what hypertext implies for philosophy and
philosophical discourse. Jane Yellowlees Douglas, Gunnar Liestol,
and Mireille Rosello use contemporary theory to come to terms with
hypertext narrative. Terrence Harpold investigates the hypertextual
fiction of Michael Joyce. Drawing on Derrida, Lacan, and
Wittgenstein, Gregory Ulmer offers an example of the new form of
writing hypertextuality demands.
