From Metaphor to Hypertext : an Interplay of Organic and Mechanical Metaphorics in the Context of New Media Discovering
Original language description
Hypertextual linking of information is one of the basic principles of digital media. We suppose this principle to be discovered in metaphorical thinking with the help of the so-called absolute metaphors. We derive the notion of an absolute metaphor fromHans Blumenberg's metaphorology, and we interpret metaphors according to Max Black?s interaction theory. Our aim is to interpret these absolute metaphors as being open to new implications, just as they are open to a pragmatically determined dialectical interaction of organic and mechanical metaphorics. We follow the direction of interactions within these metaphorics in a philosophical attempt to explain the nature of mechanical and organic systems. In particular we will analyse the metaphors ?association is trail? (Bush), ?computer is a clerk? (Engelbart) and ?hypertext is a Xanadu? (Nelson). All these metaphors are both organic and mechanical. That is why we can say that hypertext is both an organic and mechanical system.
