数字媒介下的文学变革:英语超文本小说研究——以《保姆》文本存在的嬗变为例

The Literature Changes in the Context of the Digital Media: Research on the English Hypertext Novel——Case Study of the Changes of the Text Form in The Babysitter

作为数字媒介下一种崭新的书写样式,超文本文学以数字媒介为载体,运用超文本链接技术进行创作。其文本存在状态表现出与传统文学巨大的差异,最显而易见的区别在于从静态到动态的轨迹转变。罗伯特·库弗的短篇小说《保姆》从一定意义上实现了拟超文本小说的理念。基于此,从文本《保姆》入手,分析超文本小说的存在状态及演变进程。

As a new form of writing in the context of digital media, hypertext literature takes the digital media as the carrier, ap-plying the hypertext link to creation, whose existence form is different from that of the traditional literature, with the obvious difference lying in the change from static state to dynamic state. The Babysitter, a short story by Robert Coover, realizes the concept of the hyper-text novel in a sense. This paper analyzes the existence form of the hypertext novel and its changing process based on The Babysitter.
