Hypertext syntagmas: cinematic narration with links
navigation

If cinema had to confront narration to learn how to signify then I'd suggest that hypertext has confronted (continues to confront) navigation as its great question. That I think this is completely wrong should be reasonably obvious. (If to be lost in a book is a positive metaphor, why isn't it ok to be lost in a hypertext?)
