  Hypermedia Joyce Studies, 3.1 (2002), Darren Tofts
Hypertextuality is a term that we have come to associate with digital connectivity, hypertext and the computer revolution.
Hypertextuality can be defined as a timely formulation of a more general, theoretical approach to understanding the way certain kinds of texts work.
While it could be argued that they were, in fact, inventing a theory of hypertextuality, we need to remember that the "hyper" paradigm has a historical context, one largely associated with the last decade of the twentieth century.

 Hypertext & Sociocultural Contexts for Education, Kurt Thumlert   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Hypertextuality, as both concept and as concrete communicational 'experience' has as one of its primary effects the interrogation of embedded educational 'givens': it intrinsically problematizes the underlying procedures and systems of value that govern the 'common sense' of institutionalized pedagogical relationships.
And while hypertextuality may pinpoint this privilege - and thereby 'remove the patina of universalism from what is no more than another ethnocentricism' (Poster, 1995) - it becomes the responsibility of educational discourse to invent practices that challenge that hegemony and its forms of cultural reproduction in and outside of both computer monitor and classroom.
The (hypertextual) question of what constitutes knowledge, what distinguishes information from misinformation, disinformation, and fringe science, is socioculturally mediated without the 'security' of conclusion, consensus, and the propriety of the final word, as practitioners 'informate' their discourses within these contexts.

Hypertextuality is part of a media technology explosion that began quite a while ago.
Hypertextuality is not just the existence of hypertexts but the cultural production of skills to use them.
Hypertextual skills are learned earlier and earlier in the curriculum, as they should be.

In Palimpsests, Gerard Genette argues that all literary texts are inevitably hypertextual (1997: 1).
The author defines "hypertextuality" as one of the five types of transtextuality or textual transcendence embracing all possible kinds of relationships between texts.
The hypertext, as it is suggested by Genette, can be easily visualised as a palimpsest, an old parchment reused many times but still carrying the traces of the previously erased texts (1997: 399).

 [EMLS 5.3/ SI 4 (January, 2000): 8.1-29] Hell and Hypertext Hath No Limits: Electronic Texts and the Crises in Criticism
Certainly a level of comfort, a purging of paranoia, is afforded by this particular deployment of hypertextuality; the reader/user is, after all, covertly and ironically assured of the potential stability of the text "beneath" the hypertext.
My argument is not one for a more rigorous theorization of nonlinearity with regards to hypertextuality, but rather for an analysis of this particular trope as necessarily inscribed within and thus simultaneous with the discourse of linearity and limitation, of signifying chains and the inevitability of their ends in meaning.
While critics often describe hypertextuality as a wild associative environment, this nonlinearity apparent at the front-end, in a text's interface, is in fact undergirded by the back-end's relentlessly linear structure.

When I give talks to humanists, I tell them that technology, especially hypertextuality, didn't enable this, it provided a stage, an appropriate technology for the kinds of thinking that we've been preparing for over a century.
The important thing was that this idea was in the air, the idea of trying to convey the multiplicity of our consciousness, the ways that we perceive the world and build it has been in the arts at least through the 20th century and arguably before well before that.
Hypertextuality --the word was coined at Vassar-- emerged in a fairly rich field.

hypertextuality, interactivity, multimediality - which determine the 'added value' of these journalisms, and provides three specific strategies journalists may use to further enhance the potential of journalism online: annotative reporting, open source journalism and hyperadaptive news sites.
These are two quite different types of hypertextuality, as one opens up new content, the other in fact leads to a spiraling down of content.
Ditto for annotation to external hypertextuality, as for increasing a newssite's adaptive capacity.

 Techne: James Joyce, Hypertext & Technology
The question here centres on the notion of solicitation-the extent to which Joyce's text can be said to both call for and motivate a hypertextuality irreducible to a stable field, or placement, whereby a text could be defined in relation to a structural episteme.
This question involves further issues of identity, myth and the technological-mechanical basis of signification, in terms of what we might also call "genetic strands." This "genetics," however, may be seen to disappoint a general hermeneutics, investing the logic of the "genetic master key" with a type of viral flaw.
For this reason it is a question of situating the hypertextual condition of Joyce's writing as something belonging to, and solicited by, a Joycean poetics, and not as a set of normative procedures imposed from outside.

 Romanticism and Hypertextuality--Prospectus
Specifically, it argues that hypertextuality can best be understood as a technologically advanced manifestation of Romantic theories of poetic structure, affect, and praxis--that hypertext 'works' in the same manner as a significant number of major Romantic writers claimed that poetry did, or at least should have.
Put in familiar terms, hypertextuality is more conducive to the form of the essay than to that of the full length book, with the important difference that it allows the cross-linking of individual essays into a complex narrative web that the reader and not the author ultimately controls.
While this study attempts to maintain as strict a focus as possible on hypertextuality specifically, as opposed to more general musings on electronic information storage and exchange, it is necessary to situate hypertextuality within the logic and landscape of Cyberspace, the material and cultural domain of its existence.

The events that take place in the series are hypertextual, and characters are aware of the non-linearity of events and their connect ability.
With the concept of connectivity taking such an active role in Lain, the characters should be considered hypertextual as well.
In "Layer 01: Weird," an e-mail states, "if you stay in a place like this, you won’t be able to connect," implying that one must get on the Wired, a hypertext environment, in order to connect with other people.

The range of possibilities for e-education in economics created by the web's connectivity, interactivity, and hypertextuality, however, have only begun to be explored.
Educators warn that connectivity and interactivity threaten the tradition of personal contact with one professor and a few other students with whom the student sustains an ongoing conversation for at least one term within a small classroom.
They also worry that hypertextuality plays to the shortened attention span of a generation raised on TV and video-games.

 sandbothe.net: Interactivity - Hypertextuality - Transversality
Whereas the linear book or essay text artificially linearizes the complex entangled relationships which exist between our thoughts and forces them into a hierarchical ordering, hypertext allows a direct representation of the structures and connections which are belatedly and inadequately recreated in a book through footnotes and indexes.
This is already demonstrated by the resistance with which the establishment of a consistently hypertextual practice meets.
Work with these tools, but also the hypertextual structure itself lead to the user being refered, from the supposedly pure theoretical investigation which he strives for, to institutional entanglements, to seemingly remote connections and political contexts.

Nonetheless, we have from the start commissioned hypertextual editions of and resources about other authors and works of the Romantic period, deliberately employing the "circles" metaphor to suggest the centrifugal expansion of concentric ripples that we believed would ultimately characterize any intellectually vital Web site.
Hypertextuality may, in and of itself, be decentralizing, but the Web, as a hypertext collection, seems to work against this decentralization in important ways.
What is important is that we recognize the logic of these two counter-tendencies and try to learn how to operate dialectically in the space between them rather than falling into the trap of assuming that one of two binary poles represents the "true" nature of the medium.

 Hypertextuality - Sergio Cicconi
The hypertextual page seems to have similar characteristics: it is that portion of hypertext within a frame with the size of the monitor.
On the basis of such specifications it should be easy to see that the object previously identified as hypertextual page becomes now a page-node, that is, a portion of a multimedial document centralizing and coordinating a series of object-nodes, each of which has to be conceived as a (temporarily) minimal signifying hypertextual unit.
We have seen that each hypertextual page-node can have a variable (and, sometimes, very large) number of object-nodes; a number that is theoretically limited only by the capabilities of the hypertextual program.

Hypertextuality in Genettean sense deals with systematical grafting of a new text (a hypertext) upon a previous text (a hypotext) in a way that is not commentary.
These imitations and transformations are formal and thematic, and it is safe to say that cybertexts add a third option, the functional one, as well as transform the previous two.
Scholars are very welcome to attach their favorite meanings to every morph, or forced to change their approach as there's no way to slow down the rotational speed (rpm) of any hermeneutic circle under such circumstances.

Hypertextuality asks us to re-examine and redefine our understandings of such terms.
But to the participant in hypertextuality, such tractability forms the essence of its intellectual charm and utility: because the hypertext is easily wrought, we can dart here and there, to and fro on the developing narrative of our own reading path.

Whether hypertextual theory and practice incorporates Barthes' construct of 'text' (1977) as described, as method and discourse, here is of some interest for our project.
In similar vein, Worthen, for example, writing on hypertextuality and performance of Shakespeare, suggests that 'contemporary dramatic performance takes place in the intersections between texts and bodies, writing and enactment, literature and theatre' although quite what this means is elusive (my itals, 2002, p.7).
The links that we examine between intertextuality and hypertextuality may be as much metaphoric as real since the language used to describe them reflects the open-ended and often playful constructs of poststructuralism.

The “textology” I employ is adapted from current notions of “hypertext” and aims to model and explain the functioning of Howe’s text in terms of the role and subjectivity of the reader-position they call for.
This is not to concur with the rhetoric of the unprecedented novelty of digital textual forms, what Christopher Keep effusively describes as the “alterity of the hypertext, the unassimilable excess upon which signification depends.”5  For Keep, “[digital] hypertextuality challenges the very possibility of totality upon which the codex book depends.
Howe’s poetry—which strives for both an avant-garde interrogation of referentiality and for a feminist (cultural materialist) critique—will be used to exemplify how a hypertextual “performance” necessitates embodiment and agency, overcoming the infinite regress of postmodern subjectivity without reproducing the privileged lyric subject of modernist poetics.

This paper takes as a given the premise that an artistically open hypertextuality must allow its concept of external structure to be as arbitrary as possible, notwithstanding the extent to which highly particular models of structure have become extremely popular.

This paper applies the contemporary theory of hypertext to medieval Byzantine manuscripts, using deeply significant and multi-layered illustrations from the 1066 Theodore Psalter of the Stoudious monastery near Constantinople.
Hypertextuality in this Psalter appears as predictable, complex interactions between the text and the illustrations in the manuscript and the text as it relates to other manuscripts and to its historical context.
Marginal writings and illustrations serve as hypertextual lenses for viewing their creators, the scribes, and the historical epoch in which they emerged.
