Abstract

The history of hypertext has been dominated by the history of the World Wide Web. However, the inventor of hypertext, Theodor Nelson, has long viewed the web as a deeply problematic implementation of his ideas and advocated for his own hypertext system known as Project Xanadu. This essay situates Xanadu against a background of changing ideas about media and text in the 1960s and 1970s. Based on close reading of Nelson’s work, this essay shows how Xanadu was an instance of the kind of media structure that Nelson saw as most liberating and empowering.
代码和评论
超文本的历史一直被万维网的历史所主导。然而,超文本的发明者西奥多·纳尔逊(Theodor Nelson)长期以来一直认为,网络在实现他的想法方面存在严重的问题,并主张建立自己的超文本系统,即所谓的Project Xanadu。本文将《世外桃源》置于20世纪六七十年代媒体和文本观念变化的背景下。通过仔细阅读尼尔森的作品,本文展示了“世外桃源”是纳尔逊认为最具解放性和赋权性的媒体结构的一个例子。
