I have long sought new ways to think about queerness–in the hope that a multitude of genders and identifications, bodies written and read in a variety of ways, in a variety of orders, is assumed, that queerness proliferates and oscillates back and forth across all the divides that create "perversions." In this age of tertiary orality, electronic texts, hypertexts, which themselves are networks that can be written and read in a variety of ways, in a variety of orders, offer us new potential means for thinking about queerness. As we race over our polymorphic electronic spaces, by means of hypermedia, Delueze and Guattari's spaces of rhizomes supplant conventional reasoning while, as Robb Pocklington has suggested, Derrida's chora, "directional voids in layered hypertext," or "desire-charged spaces in fabrics of possible knowing," may "disperse 'place' along hypertextual pathways" (Pockington, "Troping Videality" 6-7, 10). Hypertexts transform reading and writing by exploding bodies of texts into a multitude of potential paths of inquiry, the chora, those "directional voids," or "desire-charged spaces," just as, by means of a conceptualizing queerness that allows different means of reading and writing bodies, one could say we are able to explode bodies, cultural artifacts or texts themselves, also into a multitude of potential paths of inquiry.

The chorographer–like the queer, whose genders/sexualities continually morph in their own chorography–"may detour at any (con)junction," producing a "new chora at any location in the videal fabric." Replacing what we now think of as composition, chorography, as Pocklington suggests, "weaves together dozens or even hundreds of threads," the chorographers, like queers, having "found themselves and their texts already having been constructed at the speed of light" (10). At the speed of light, texts/bodies become wavy and impermanent–potential–and expose the glimmery connections of holes, worm-tunnels.

By what means may hypertexts be engaging our thinking about queerness in new ways? Partly by citing/siting/sighting "queer hypertexts," I focus on this inquiry.
