from hypertext to vortext / notes on materiality & language
t
he question of materiality remains as pressing as ever in current discussions of textual genetics and hypertext, and it is the objective of this paper to provide something like a notational framework within which we might effectively engage with this question without descending either into classical hermeneutics, epistemology or empiricism, while at the same time enlisting certain aspects of their conceptual infrastructures to the work of textual theory-above all to a theory of hypertextuality.

deus ex machina (the dramatic effects of the play-within-a-play in shakespeare and marlowe)
what could this mean, the dramatic effects of the play-within-a-play? does it indicate dramatic effects that are generated by the play-within-a-play, deriving from it, or does it indicate dramatic effects that are somehow intrinsic to the play-within-a-play, and so remaining within it? or does the of in this case signify both at once; both within and without and therefore on the seam?
