Minton, Jonathan2022-01-062022-01-062003https://mediarep.org/handle/doc/18578Is it possible to argue for an underlying "intention" of a networked assembly such as the online literary journal Word For/Word? The very nature of its digital medium invites non-linear, non-sequential readings, thus making it problematic to think of its assembled works only as discrete, autonomous texts. I propose that one way to answer this question is to rethink "intention" in terms of textual encoding. Intention, in this regard, is not a by-product, or end-result, of writing, nor the manifestation of an author's "original" idea, but an always on-going textual drift. My project explores the methods in which JavaScript can clarify this dynamic and seemingly infinite drift of textual intention by encoding and particularizing its recombinant processes.engCreative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 Genericdigital literatureDigital Poetry79110.25969/mediarep/176231617-6901
