Abstract (in English)
From editors' description: Marsh's two nodes for this issue explore how criticism of hypertext and new media might differ from criticism of print literature. In New Criticism Necessary? he considers the question of 'newness' with regard to both current practice in new media and its related criticism and theory. In Points for Hypermedia Critics he proposes three 'axes' of analysis along which a formal study of new media might proceed, suggesting that hypertext/media is at once formative, performative and reformative in design and function.
