This book will be of interest to all those who have engaged with hypertext either as creators or as users. They will discover that screen writing has a history going back to a number of avant-garde practices which already incorporated a screen imaginary into the creative work. Readers of this volume will be offered a privileged insight into a debate between detractors and advocates of the new modes of writing and reading and the new means of cultural transmission (CD-ROM, the Internet, digitisation); they will thus be able to weigh up for themselves the assets and illusions, the heuristic merits and politico-commercial issues at stake. May these reflections convert the globe-trotters of hyperspace into knowledgeable navigators!Cet ouvrage intÃ©ressera quiconque est confrontÃ© Ã lâ€™hypertexte, que ce soit en tant que concepteur ou en tant quâ€™usager. Il dÃ©couvrira ici que lâ€™Ã©crit dâ€™Ã©cran a une histoire qui remonte Ã certaines pratiques avant-gardistes qui avaient dÃ©jÃ intÃ©grÃ© un imaginaire de lâ€™Ã©cran dans leurs crÃ©ations. Il entrera de plain-pied dans un dÃ©bat entre dÃ©tracteurs et partisans des nouvelles modalitÃ©s dâ€™Ã©criture/lecture et des nouveaux supports de transmission culturelle (cd-rom, Internet, digitalisation), afin quâ€™il puisse lui-mÃªme faire la part entre les atouts et les leurres, entre les mÃ©rites heuristiques et les enjeux politico-mercantiles. Que ces rÃ©flexions puissent convertir les globe-trotters de lâ€™hypersphÃ¨re en navigateurs avertis!
