Multitasking <strong>and</strong> the Zen of Cyberspace<br />
Multi-taskers composing in cyberspace need to become more<br />
conscious of their choices in order to take full advantage of electronic<br />
writing tools. In spite of the lure of becoming lost in the funhouse,<br />
w<strong>and</strong>ering the maze of cyberspace, we need to be here now, <strong>and</strong><br />
our students need to be here now, instead of trying to be here,<br />
there, <strong>and</strong> everywhere at once.<br />

BEAUTOPIA: A Hypertext Performance<br />
In this hypertext, I interrogate the language, imagery, <strong>and</strong><br />
ideologies of cosmetics advertisements <strong>and</strong> related texts; I invoke<br />
the feminist underst<strong>and</strong>ing that “the personal is political,” combining<br />
autobiographical reflections with an analysis of the discourse <strong>and</strong><br />
industry of cosmetics. The thematic focus of the work is rooted in<br />
my urge to rethink the social — I ask, through the construction of this<br />
polyvalent (hyper)text: can we begin to invent a materially grounded<br />
utopian vision through the lens of contemporary female beauty<br />
