HYPERTEXT SCHOLARSHIP IN AMERICAN STUDIES (http://chnm.gmu.edu/aq)
How will hypertext and new media change the nature of scholarly
argument, communication, and publication? Although there has been much
theorizing about hypertext and scholarship, there are very few concrete
examples of scholars using hypertext and new media to present the results
of sustained inquiry into the subjects that they study. In order to
encourage experimentation in this arena, American Quarterly in
collaboration with the American Studies Crossroads Project at Georgetown
University and the Center for History & New Media at George Mason
University has launched an experiment in hypertext publishing.
Last Spring we solicited proposals for scholarly hypertext projects
and selected four "articles" to be developed. The "beta" versions of those
articles have now been published on line. We invite you to take a look and
offer your own reactions in the on-line forum that we are sponsoring. In
June, American Quarterly will publish a print forum in which three scholars
will offer their comments on the experiment and the authors will present
brief statements about their intentions.
The four articles are:
** "The Spanish American War in US Media Culture" by James Castonguay
** "Dreaming Arnold Schwarzenegger" by Louise Krasniewicz and Michael Blitz
** "Hearsay of the Sun: Photography, Identity, and the Law of Evidence in
Nineteenth-Century American Courts" by Thomas Thurston
** "From Hogan's Alley to Coconino County: Three Narratives of the Early Comic
Strip" by David Westbrook
The articles are posted at http://chnm.gmu.edu/aq
