The discussion of movement in this project can be expanded by the addition of the idea that hyperspaces might help to create a sense of collapsing both time and space.

Anne Wysocki and Johndan Johnson-Eilola explore this idea in their text on the permutations of literacy, "Blinded by the Letter." They first explain that, "With new communication technologies, we want to be able to -- we feel we can -- move from one end of space to another nearly instantaneously; we can bring any set of places--any set of things--together as one" (363). They add, "...with new communication technologies, space, like information, can become less something we experience and more something we simply work with/in, making creative connections and reconnections" (364).

Wysocki and Johnson-Eilola are interested in the way our sense of connectedness might lead to a more active sense our ourselves as producers of meaning. They point out that, "If we understand communication not as discrete bundles of stuff that are held together in some unified space, that exist linearly through time, and that we pass along, but as instead different possible constructed relations between movement among (and within) sign systems" (365).

While I would like to maintain a sense of the gaps in reason which can be made more evident through hypertextual structures, I also feel that it could be valuable to explore this idea of reader/viewers as travelers who shape their experience as they move through time and text space. One of the reasons that I cling to the possibility for personal intervention in the making of meaning in the face of the warnings about the dangers of efforts to transcend race through integration or color avoidance, is that I see efforts to re-situate ourselves within various frameworks as part of the larger social effort to both create and maintain coherence while exploring difference.

My sense of this larger effort is that the complications involved in trying to understand the ways we represent ourselves and are represented by others are in some ways beyond the power of frameworks which are designed to focus solely on differences of race, sexual orientation, class, etc. So that for me, any effort to understand these categorizations with/in the times and spaces of my real-world experience needs to provide room for the almost endless complexity that is involved in inter-human connections.
