    Study Notes

    Hypertext and its Features

    • Hypertext refers to a digital text format that allows users to navigate between different pieces of information via links.
    • A key feature of hypertext is non-linearity, enabling users to access content in a non-sequential manner.
    • In the World Wide Web (WWW), hypertext is exemplified by website hyperlinks that connect various web pages and resources.
    • Hypertextuality describes the relationship of texts with one another, where any text can reference or link to other texts.

    Hypertext vs. Traditional Reading

    • Hypertext differs from traditional linear reading as it allows for branching pathways through information rather than following a single, fixed narrative.
    • Readers of hypertext have the freedom to select their own paths, leading to a more interactive and engaging experience.

    Intertextuality

    • Intertextuality is the relationship between texts where one text influences or references another, enhancing understanding and interpretation.
    • It involves connections between works that relate in themes, language, or characters, allowing for deeper analysis.
    • Intertextuality influences text interpretation by providing layers of meaning that arise from the connections established between multiple texts.

    Types of Intertextuality

    • The intertextuality that involves borrowing and reimagining another text to create something new is known as transformative intertextuality.
    • An allusion is a reference within a text to another text, person, place, or event, enriching the reader's understanding.

    Critical Reading

    • Critical reading goes beyond surface-level understanding, focusing on evaluating arguments, identifying biases, and analyzing language and structure.
    • It involves forming evaluative statements, often assessing credibility and unearthing underlying assumptions.
    • Critical readers emphasize questioning the intent and context of the text, making informed judgments based on evidence and reasoning.

    Assertions and Statements

    • An assertion is a declaration made about a specific topic, often reflecting a strong belief without necessitating evidence.
    • Some assertions are fact-based but difficult to verify due to complexity or uncertainty.

    Parody

    • Parody is a literary device that imitates another work to "poke fun" at it, often to entertain by exaggerating characteristics of the original.
    • The purpose of parody is both comedic and critical, providing insight into the original work's themes or styles.
