Gray - Professor für Deutsche Literatur und Leiter des Department of Germanics an der University of Washington in Seattle - und Sabine Wilke - Professorin für Deutsche Literatur am Department of Germanics der University of Washington - leiten die Erstellung eines Hypertextes zum Wien um 1900. Diese Website besteht aus Texten, Bildern und Tondateien und soll im Literaturunterricht, aber auch in anderen Fächern eingesetzt werden. Neben solch bekannten Websites wie dem 'Klassiker' Victorian Web und dem Perseus-Web (vgl. dazu den Beitrag "McDonald's of Education") ist das Vienna-Web ein weiteres Beispiel der pädagogischen Nutzung von Internet und Hypertext. Roberto Simanowski ließ sich von Richard T. Gray und Sabine Wilke erklären, was das Vienna-Web ist, wie es zustande kam, welches Ziel es hat und welche Kosten es verursacht - und erfährt dabei zugleich einiges über das Wien um 1900.

- Articleand/and/and - reading and thinking hypertext: an interview with J. Yellowlees DouglesSimanowski, Roberto (2000-03-25) , S. 1-6J. Yellowlees Dougles, Director of the William and Grace Dial Center for Written and Oral Communication and Assistant Professor of English at the University of Florida, has been researching and writing on social construction of digital technologies and on hypertext focusing on the the applicability of literary theory, narratology and aesthetics to hypertext environments. In her essay "How do I stop this thing" (1994) she discusses the effect of hypertext's displacement of closure on the act of reading with special regard to Michael Joyce's "Afternoon". Her recent book "End of Books or Books without End" (2000) - "A classic of hypertext theory and criticism" (Jay David Bolter) - examines how interactive fiction works, takes a careful look at the state of hypertext criticism today, and suggests how the future development of interactive narratives relate to the New Realism. (see extended abstract, order from Eastgate Systems). Roberto Simanowski talked with her about satisfactions and limitations of hypertext, about its three paradoxes, and about her hyperfiction "I Have Said Nothing".
