Coover, Robert, Becker, Howard, Douglas, Jane, Joyce, Michael, Moulthrop, Stuart, McDaid, John and Arnold, Mary-Kim (1993): Hypertext Fiction: Structure and Narrative. In: Stotts, P. David and Furuta, Richard (eds.) Proceedings of ACM Hypertext 93 Conference November 14-18, 1993, Seattle, Washington. .
Serious literary hypertexts (notably the work of the so-called "Eastgate School") have emerged in recent years as a growing influence on both mainstream hypertext writing and on the larger literary community. By exploring the interaction between structure and narrative, and the hypertextual interplay between reader and writer, these works break ground of equal importance to literature, scholarship, and technical communication. The panel will create a constructive, collaborative hypertext live and onstage.

Joyce, Michael, Kaplan, Nancy, McDaid, John and Moulthrop, Stuart (1989): Hypertext, Narrative, and Consciousness. In: Halasz, Frank and Meyrowitz, Norman (eds.) Proceedings of ACM Hypertext 89 Conference November 5-8, 1989, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. pp. 383-384.
This panel attempts to initiate a dialogue on the implications of hypertext between information theorists and literary theorists, writers of texts and designers of text systems. Though the panelists base their views on several years of practical work with hypertext in education, they are concerned with broader social and conceptual problems raised by this technology -- its likely effect on the way we teach ourselves and others to understand texts and the way we use those texts to construct an orderly (or disorderly) world. It seems important to raise these issues at Hypertext'89 because hypertext is rapidly being recognized by humanists as a crucial and revolutionary enterprise. This recognition creates an opportunity for humanists and scientists to convene a productive dialogue which could have great significance both for hypertext and for the future of the humanities. We hope for a frank and free-ranging exchange of views and emphasize that this is a forum for questioning and controversy, not a series of monologues. Each panelist will deliver a ten-minute position statements, with the remaining hour of the session devoted to discussion. Abstracts of the three presentations follow.
