In Of Two
Minds ,
the University of Michigan Press combines a collection of essays and
speeches by Michael Joyce, co-creator of Storyspace. This collection adds a needed
aspect of scholarship to the growing field of hypertext studies by
combining the work of poets, artists, teachers, scientists and feminists
and shaping their insights into a uniquely effective method of inquiry
that illuminates emerging perspectives in using technology for teaching
and writing. Of Two Minds joins George Landow's
Hypertext and Jay Bolter's Writing Space in
defining the current of issues, conflicts, and future dreams in
hypertext studies.
Each of Joyce's essays winds in and around the others, in many areas repeating what has gone before, but connecting within a different context--like a hypertext in print. Through this collection Joyce demonstrates how hypertext and electronic writing are much more than new tools for completing the same old task. Of Two Minds is divided into three sections; Of Two Minds, Siren Shapes, and Contours. |
