Title of the paper : A Temporal Analysis of About Time

 

Author or topic : Rob Swigart‘s About Time

 

Abstract : In this second paper I am going to analyse the temporal aspects of Rob Swigart’s About Time, a hypertextual story. This format gives way to a great amount of possibilities regarding chronological order, and About Time makes a very interesting exploitation of these possibilities. Following the non-linearity by which this text is driven, I have analysed each chapter separately so that any of them could be accessed at any given moment. Unfortunately due to the technical restrictions imposed by the author I have not been able to provide links to specific parts of the texts that are quoted, however they have been tagged appropiately for an easier access from About Time’s main website. This paper’s index can be viewed by clicking here, or you can enter directly into the different parts, divided in an Introduction, a Conclusion and two separate timelines (Past: Part IPart IIPart III; Present:Part IPart IIPart III). This same paper is also presented in blog format.
