Brooke,
\n Collin Gifford. "Making Room, Writing Hypertext." JAC<\/i>
\n 19.2 (Spring 1999): 253-68.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With hypertext, the canon of arrangement risks fading into invention; this
\nresults from the presumption that audiences have greater agency when navigating
\nthrough a hypertext, which, in turn, suggests that arrangement is comparatively
\ninconsequential.  Brooke, however, seeks to correct this misnomer by
\nregistering an affront to the oversimple division that pits hypertext’s
\nliberatory and open-ended qualities opposite print’s convention of linearity. 
\nThe canon of arrangement, that is, isn’t doomed by the variability of multiple
\npaths so long as we understand that arrangement, given its correlation to cycle
\n(Bernstein) and pattern, intervenes between print and hypertext, each
\ncharacterized at their structural extremes (containerism and free-form,
\nrespectively). With cycle and pattern as the hypertextual logics of arrangement,
\nthe problem of disorientation is less extreme and we need not abandon
\narrangement in "an electronic text-space" (261). <\/p>\n

Also:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Mustn’t rely on hypertext’s novelty;<\/li>\n
  • Readers, even with greater selective agency, are conditioned by print and
    \n related spatial expectations;<\/li>\n
  • Lefebvre’s social space: conceived, perceived, and lived;<\/li>\n
  • Linearity does not equate to hierarchy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    "Although I am contending that there is a space-element intrinsic to all
    \ndiscourse, it is important to note that this element is shaped in significant
    \nways by the technological specificity<\/b> of a given discourse" (255).<\/p>\n

    "Insofar as arrangement<\/b> remains a canon in a rhetoric of hypertext<\/b>,
    \nthen, its influence is subordinated to other canons rendered largely irrelevant
    \nto the writer in an electronic environment" (257).<\/p>\n

    "Bolter doesn’t push his discussion of hyperbaton<\/b> far enough because it
    \nleaves hypertext dependent upon the values of print texts that are violated by
    \nelectronic writing" (257).<\/p>\n

    "We hesitate to embrace more technical hypertexts<\/b> because to do so would
    \nbe to embrace the values that those texts represent for us: mechanical
    \nefficiency, speed, functionality, and transparency" (258).<\/p>\n

    "Hypertext, however, presents us with a different relationship between discourse
    \nand space, and it does so by reintroducing the visual into the verbal field"
    \n(258).<\/p>\n

    "If we hold onto the notion that hypertext is defined according to its
    \nviolation of print standards<\/b>, and arrangement<\/b> (via print’s reliance
    \non linearity) is the canon perhaps most responsible for those standards, then it
    \nmay seem reasonable to allow that canon to atrophy<\/b> in an electronic
    \ntext-space<\/b>" (261).<\/p>\n

    "The very presence of something called the ‘disorientation problem’ in
    \nhypertext studies, then, points to the possibility that hypertext may disrupt
    \nthat homogeneity, that it may enable discursive spaces different from the
    \nabstract containerism implied by print" (261).<\/p>\n

    "The containerism of print technology is an example of a constructed social and
    \ndiscursive space where the moments have become so coherent that their
    \ncoincidence seems logical and even natural" (262).<\/p>\n

    "To put it in the terms of this essay, we need to invent forms that lie
    \nsomewhere in between the containers that print has encouraged and the paralyzing
    \nfreedom of an infinitely open space" (263).<\/p>\n

    "One advantage of embracing such a re-orientation of arrangement<\/b> [in
    \ncycle and pattern] is that is allows us to more fully explain some of the most
    \nimportant claims that hypertext theory has advanced" (264).<\/p>\n

    "Arrangement<\/b> must instead be infused with the idea that its products need
    \nnot be permanent, or closed<\/b>, in order to provide the type of meaning<\/b>
    \nthat will orient readers<\/b>" (265).<\/p>\n

    "Placing our emphasis on the patterned yet provisional qualities<\/b> of
    \narrangement might be one way that we can make room for hypertext<\/b> in our
    \ndisciplinary conversation" (265).<\/p>\n

    Terms: Joyce’s "alternative organizational structures" (257), Bolter’s
    \n"hyperbaton" (257), hypertext as Quintilian’s "confused heap" (257),
    \n"disorientation problem" (258), containerism and container metaphor (260),
    \nsocial space (262), Bernstein on "the Cycle" (264)<\/p>\n
