Isi artikel

Speculation about time and globalization at the millennium tends to announce either endings or beginnings. The difficulty in analyzing time and globalization lies in recognizing that we live in a period of overlapping, often conflicting times, processes, rates of change, and speeds of life. This article attempts to demonstrate how print and electronic media interpenetrate in a transitional period by analyzing them in terms of one another. The shortening and 'speeding up' of print in the face of electronic media is juxtaposed to the print-based metaphors and formats that shape the interfaces of wordprocessing programs. Two different facets of electronic textuality are then examined. First, websites illustrate a shift in the meaning of 'narrative': the shape of plot is lost, the rhythm of beginning, middle and end. Second, by contrast, a stunning array of creative experimentation has been unleashed by the unchecked usage of a new medium (e.g. email writing and digital storytelling). The article concludes with a call to mediate between worlds, the one that seems to be passing and the one yet to arrive.
