THE WEB ESSAY: EXPLORING ARGUMENTS
POSSIBILITIES
From "Grammatology (in the Stacks of Hypermedia)" by Gregory l. Ulmer:
In hypermedia, the scholar does not provide a
specific line of argument
, an enunciation, but constructs a whole paradigm of
possibilities
, a set of statements, leaving the act of utterance, specific
selections and combinations to the reader/user
. Or rather, the scholar's 'argument' exists at the level of the
ideology/theory
directing the system of the paradigm,
determining the boundaries of inclusion/exclusion
. (142)
