“El principio de la hipertextualidad le permite a uno tratar a la Red como la extensión de los contenidos de su propia mente. El hipertexto hace que la memoria de cualquier persona se convierta en la memoria del resto de las personas y convierte a la Red en la primera memoria mundial“.
Derrick de Kerckhove, Inteligencias en conexión.
McLuhan lo escogió a él porque era el mejor. Su delfín. Dónde el no pudo llegar, esta sociedad red en la que hubiera disfrutado como ninguno, llegó Kerckhove.
Como auténtico visionario en sus escritos provoca reflexión, crítica, revolución, cabreo… a mí, me provoca esto y más.
Mis reflexiones a cerca del hipertexto, la literatura, la mente, tienen su base en los escritos de Kerckhove. Últimamente estoy tratando de encontrar, no tanto una tautología matemática o un factor causal, sinó más bien una especie de trama, de red conceptual que apoye una tesis que me ronda por la cabeza sobre las relaciones peer2peer y el funcionamiento hipertextual de la vida, en definitiva, etología hipertextual.
Sé que me diran que es un principio teórico arriesgado, bien, de eso se trata. Se trata de romper los esquemas socio-antropológicos vigentes, de tomar consciencia de red, de red humana en un espacio. Si podemos llegar a ser capaces de abstraer este concepto de anti-individualidad mental, es posible, sólo posible que crezcamos como especie.
Evidentemente en este blog que empieza, jugaremos con muchos conceptos relacionados a todo esto, amor, sociedad, cultura, literatura y por descontado sexo.

well, her goes nothing. i feel like such a newbie, being kicked off the plane into nam.
i´ll work it out… eventually.
if the mc don’t mind, i’d rather communicate in english, just for the sake of practicing. god, it’s so rusty, yesterday i had to spellcheck “through”, and yes, i got it right.
digressions, better get used to it. weren’t you writing about hypertext and thought processes? well, hypertxt goes up and down and all the way round, and as hypertxt as mapping of non-linear thought, aren’t digressions a beautiful metaphor of precisely that concept?
i thank you for this. nice exercise. i hadn’t noticed.. well, i had, in that murky way un-languaged thoughts (that doens’t exist, we know, but just for the sake of argument) go, that my writing style is based on hypertxt. i start writing about the sunny morning (just an example, i can’t imagine an image farther away from my writing than sunny mornings)…
and see, there it is! my best friend parenthesis! that and footnotes, hyphens, etc., the grammatical signs of digression.
the thing is i start out in the sunny morning and then i go rambling about farther and farther away, not sticking to the point, until i find myself halfway through the page with one eerily long paragraph about nothing but the addenda to the sunny morning. the narrative hasn’t moved.
sticking to the point has never been my strong point (one of my worst subjects at school was logic, god, it didn’t make any sense). the easy explanation would be the drugs. but no, i’d say that the key to this writing style, besides personal idiosyncracy, is what i proposed in that article that is keeping me indebted to you: our interaction with our tools models our thought processes. the habit of jumping from window to window, the possibility of randomness to pursue one or another or all the links, ingrains itself in our brain with such force that we are abandoning sequential, linear exposition in favor of all-over-the-place (for lack of a better term) expositions.
from a to b is just boring. first, second and third, boooring. if hume already denounced the absurdity of the principle of causality (that b follows a doesn’t necessarily mean that b is caused by a), we are now way beyond this, at a point of pointlessness, uncentered, unhinged.
but better minds have already explained this. we must go further.
