Hypertexts and internet literature

In ' hyperfictions ', or fictional hypertexts the linearity of the text is broken and the roles of the author and reader have changed by the empowerment of the recipient in the reading process

→ The author of a hypertext does not dictate the sequence of episodes within the text.

→ The reader is free to decide in what order he or she wishes to read the individual parts of the text.

→ The 'text' therefore offers a variety of readings rather than a single story.

Characteristics of hyperfictions:

- non-linearity

- interactivity

- intermedial features

Inter-Art Studies / lntermediality: Literature and Other Art Forms

Intermediality - interaction between art forms, between literature and other media

The most common topics:

- the thematization and formal representation of music, painting, photography and film within literature.

- adaptations of literary works in other media (for example, electronic media such as television, radio or video).

A) Music and Literature

Three main areas of study:

• literature in music (for example, programme music),

• combinations of music and literature (for example, vocal music),

• thematic and formal references to music in literature (for example, the thematization of music and musicians, verbal music, word music, formal and structural parallels with music) - Musicalization of fiction.

Popular music analysis

interpretation of the language + musical analysis:

- rhythm (with beat as a means of emphasising ele­ments)

- melody and harmony

- sound

- production and marketing strategies (media presentation and star cult)

B) Art and Literature

• structural correspondences between various artistic and literary procedures (for example in the case of the collage)

• coincidental convergence between art and literature when artists and authors react to specific cultural topics

• images that are based on texts (for example representations of biblical or mythical material or historical paintings based on works of historiography)

• descriptions of images (‘ekphrasis’)

• text-image combinations; 'emblems', consisting of a title, an image and a short text describing the image and its relation to the title

C) Photography and literature

- photographs give the impression of representing immediate reality, although they in fact always depict past realities

- precise and detailed reproduction of its object, an extremely objective medium
