Example text

The actual production of the text may be shared, or may be undertaken by one individual author. In their understanding of reality, the authors have reached "closure", such that there is a clear understanding of the joint project and little need for normative pressure or imperative co-ordination. Existing computer conferencing or electronic mail systems could readily support the writing-up process for Literature: how far they could support the initial negotiation of reality is more open to doubt.

We interviewed a group of industrial mathematicians who were collaborating with remotely-sited groups of researchers in fire-engineering. Their communications were by electronic mail, by telephone and by face-to-face research visits. The mathematicians were -25- Julian Newman and Rhona Newman much concerned about the problems of technical language: the meaning of the same technical terms could differ widely between mathematicians and engineers. The engineer, for example, would use the word "mapping" in accordance with an intuitive notion; however a mapping to a mathematician is a mathematical entity.

Much of the writing of theorists from Roland Barthes to the reception aesthetics of Jauss, Ingarden and Iser effectively sketched out theories of reading and the construction of meaning which seem to anticipate hypertext environments and called for greater understanding of the creative powers and autonomy of the reader. But the hypertext environment which seems, on the face of it, to require greater interaction and to provide more autonomy from readers, may actually place them more fully in the author's thrall, transforming the author from the deus ex machina of the print world, whose trace must be heeded but whose absence can be ignored, to the opponent in a sophisticated game of "Mastermind", whose strategies must be discovered to insure the player's survival.
