134HYPERTEXT 3.0 The system then produces a panel containing places to tFpe any desiredlabels for the linked passages; it automatically adds the title of the entire texr,and the writer can describe the linked passage within that text. For example,if I created a link between the hypermedia equivalent of my text for the previoussection of this chapter and a passage in The Scope of Anthropology,Intermedia would automatically add the title of that text, "The Erosion ofthe Author," to which I would add a phrase, say, "L6viStrauss & myth as network."At the other end of the link, the system would furnish "Claude L6viStrauss, The Scope of Anthropology," and I would add something like "L6vi-Strauss & society as network." When a reader activates the link marker in themain text, the new entry appears as an option: "Claude L6vi-Strauss, 7heScope of Anthropology: (L6vi-strauss& society as network)J' Storyspace linkinginvolves a roughly similar, if simpler, procedure: to link from a phrase toanother document, one highlights the phrase, moves the cursor to a palettecontaining an arrow clicks on it, and then clicks on the other document, atwhich point a panel appears in which one can place a description. To make alink in HTML (which only permits one link per anchor), one has to tFpesomething like how menthink in myths, or use a handy html editor like BBEdit or Dreamweaver,which would add the HTML tag () after I typed in the informationbetween quotation marks (../..ilevistrauss/1.html).In Storyspace, Intermedia, and similar programs, linking the second text,the passage from Foucault, follows the identical procedure with the single exceptionthat one no longer has to provide a label for the lexia in the main text,since it already has one. In HTML one has to sacrifice this second link or findanother appropriate phrase to which one could add a link.If instead of linking these two brief passages of quotation, documentation,and commentary, I created a more complex document set, focused onDerridean dfbordement, one would follow the same procedure to create links.In addition, one would also create kinds of documents not found in printedtext, some of which would be primarily visual or hieroglyphic. One, forexample, might take the form of a concept map showing, among otherthings, uses of the term ddbordement in "Living On," other works by Derridain which it appears, and its relation to a range of contexts and disciplinesfrom cartography and histology to etyrnology and French military history.Current hypermedia systems, including popular World Wide Web browsers,permit linking to interactive video, music, and animation as well as dictionaries,text, time lines, and static graphics. In the future these links will takemore dynamic forms, and following them will animate some procedure, say,
