In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Linkmaps Linkmaps amount to suggested routes through the wiki network, particular sequences of ePathways that have been found to be illuminating in one way or another. An example is eWorld, a linkmap of nodes that leads from Leapfrogging the Text to Museum of Verbal Art to Resynchronizing the Event to Systems versus Things. En route the surfer will have an opportunity to think about a textless world, the new-media landscape for literature and oral tradition, an ancient Greek myth of transformation, the re-creation of performance events, and communication without “things.” What’s more, the entire itinerary revolves around the core OT/IT thesis of the Pathways Project. But that’s just one option. Potential surfers may opt to follow this or another of the predesignated patterns listed below (any of which they can always exit at any point). Or they may choose to strike out on their own, fashioning their experiences at every juncture—effectively creating their own linkmaps as they go. The freedom to explore and to construe is nearly absolute (Variation within Limits), and all we ask in return is that web-surfers consider the option of visiting the site and contributing their newly discovered itineraries to the Pathways Project Linkmap Digest as possible “guidebooks” for future users. To share your linkmap, you will need to create an account by clicking on the Sign Up link at the right of the horizontal orange bar that appears before the start of every node.

Citizenship in Multiple Agoras → A Foot in Each World → Misnavigation → Excavating an Epic The eWorld: This node-sequence explores several aspects of the electronic world, or eAgora, and its trademark activities. Leapfrogging the Text → Museum of Verbal Art → Resynchronizing the Event → Systems versus Things The oWorld: This linkmap offers a perspective on the oral world, with emphasis on its similarity to the eWorld and difference from the world of texts. Excavating an Epic → Homo Sapiens’ Calendar Year → Online with OT → Museum of Verbal Art → Why Not Textualize? → oAgora Textual Limits: These nodes collectively discuss and argue against cultural assumptions regarding textual superiority.
