This study works on two levels.
|
I am analyzing how stories are related and experienced in texts, comics and hypermedia. I am interested in how technological advances have allowed a new medium to emerge and what this does to our notions of what a story is and can be. |
I will show these three mediums together to put my hypothesis to the test. If stories are related and experienced differently in various mediums, new and old, then my study will tell a story by incorporating and using the objects of study that are also being analyzed. |
Attention to the methods employed is required for both the analysis and illustration of the mediums.
A part of my methodologies will be the development of two forms together. There will be a primary fluid, dynamic and rhizomatic online hypermedia version, and then a secondary indexical and chaptered version. The second version is a discursive and linear artifact, an imprecise map of the primary rhizome of the web territory.
