This organization produces a Borges-style ordering of short pieces addressing the slippages of cyber-subjects.

In this sense, the web project 'e-dentidades' is articulated via a hypertext structure and, in a symbolic manner, we have also opted to represent this (option)/part of the text, the incorporation of methodology, as a footnote - incorporating the methodology rather than structuring it as the principal body.” In this sense, Zafra represents a uniquely post-modern (aside from her close reading of various theorists) attempt at organization wherein the footnote dominates the page, with a text lacking a backbone but full of 'feet.' Later in the footnote she indicates that ” the structural difference of hypertext discoursed is that it suspends the reader between interconnected references and centrifuges, abandoning the him/her to the vertigo of possibilities between levels, fragments and distinct styles,” further indicating that ” hypertext discourse is as much the text as the text-as-reflection of the structure of the web, suggesting in this referentiality a metonymic as much as metaphoric relation, an epistemological metaphor.” Zafra's cv is located at: http://www.pdipas.us.es/r/rzafra/cv.htm }, keywords = {derrida, embodiment, foucault, identity, linguistic-ruptures, mary-weaver, new-media, spanish}, posted-at = {2005-08-22 03:48:01}, priority = {0}, title = {e-dentidades: loading-searching-doing (cartograf\'{\i}as del sujeto on line)}, url = {http://www.web-side.org/remedioszafra/index.html} }
