Handouts Hypertext Hypermedia Intertext

Hypertext is non-linear writing that uses hyperlinks to allow readers to choose their own path through the information. It was coined in 1965 and allows readers to create their own meanings from connected topics across various media. Intertextuality refers to how a text relates to and is shaped by other texts through references and quotes, such as when one book alludes to or parodies another work.

Hypertext, hypermedia and intertext

What is Hypertext?

• Hypertext is writing on the web that incorporates the use of hyperlinks.

• Hypertext is read differently by each reader, and therefore each hypertext document continues
to change.

• The reader is as much a part of the writing as the writer in making meaning.

LINEAR TEXT
- the traditional text that needs to be read from beginning to end.

NON-LINEAR TEXT
- the new trend text through the use of links called HYPERTEXT.

HYPERTEXT (from)
(Hyper). Over or beyond.
(text). Letter or combination of letters to transform meaning.

Ted Nelson
-coined hypertext and hypermedia in 1965 and worked with Andires Van Dam to develop hypertext
editing system in 1968.

HYPERTEXT is simply a non-linear way of presenting information, rather than the traditional linear
process of reading from beginning to end.

Readers of hypertext may follow their own path, create their own order- their own meaning out of
the materials that connect topics on a screen to related information, graphics, videos, and music- the
information is not simply related to text.

What is intertextuality?
• Intertext is putting a text in relation to another text, usually through direct quotes or references.

• A book that quotes another book to compare, contrast, or expand on a point is using intertext.

• is the shaping of a text's meaning by another text.

• The complex relationships that exist between works of literature.

• Julia Krestiva, Literary Theorist, proposed it in 1966.

In Summary:

• A web page or a real bound book can have intertext, but only the web page can have
hypertext.

Types of Intertextuality
1. appropriation
2. allusion
3. Parody

Pastiche/Appropriation

• Collage of words, phrases or entire passages from one or more other authors that creates a new
literary work.

• Incorporate elements of plot, theme, style, and even character development.

• examples

• novel to a movie

• Comic-novel-movie

• novel-movie-tv series
• novel-movie-animation film

Allusion

• A generally implied reference to characters, scenes, plot elements, etc. that appears in another
work.

• Example in the movie The Matrix, Prometheus’s promise to Neo to show him “how deep is the
rabbit’s hole goes” is an allusion to Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland.
Parody

• Similar in form to the pastiche.

• Re-appropriates the work of others but for the purpose of poking fun rather than praising.
