AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF
Carrie Quill West for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies presented on June 2, 2007. Title: The Reader of the Future?: Electronic Books, Narrative, and Meaning Making.
Abstract Approved: ___________________________________________________
Dr. Debrah Bokowski, Thesis Advisor
This thesis explores hypertext theory and theories of reading process in order to understand how reading printed narrative is a different activity than reviewing electronic narratives. Within this thesis is a new term, hypertexting, developed specifically to define the process of reviewing electronic narrative. Hypertexting involves a reader acting upon a work, even as the work acts upon her. The separation of the concept of hypertexting away from the concept of reading is important in the integration of electronic books in societal discourse because the activity of reading is so closely associated with the codex form and, as users of hypermedia are well aware, hypertexting is fundamentally different from reading in that it puts greater demand on the user to define her own experience of the work.
