A New Art Form: Hypertext Fiction New Art, Old Art When I taught the sociology of art, I used to give students a choice of research topics on which they might write papers.

One, chosen only by the most daring, was to create a new art form and to keep a careful and detailed journal of their efforts. I warned students that they would probably not succeed in creating a new form, and that their journal would probably be the most interesting result of the project. One student’s experience, as reported in her journal, illustrates some of the problems involved. What I had gotten her into was an insoluble problem.

You cannot look at a work of art without seeing at once how it is just like all other works of its kind and how it is quite distinctive. What can, however, be new and different is the organization that arises to see the work to completion, to provide its necessities, and, most importantly, to proclaim novelty, to say “Here is something new, different, and unlike anything done before.” The Science of Word Recognition. About fonts > ClearType The Science of Word Recognition or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bouma Kevin LarsonAdvanced Reading Technology, Microsoft CorporationJuly 2004 Introduction Evidence from the last 20 years of work in cognitive psychology indicate that we use the letters within a word to recognize a word. Many typographers and other text enthusiasts I’ve met insist that words are recognized by the outline made around the word shape.

Some have used the term bouma as a synonym for word shape, though I was unfamiliar with the term. This paper is written from the perspective of a reading psychologist. The goal of this paper is to review the history of why psychologists moved from a word shape model of word recognition to a letter recognition model, and to help others to come to the same conclusion. I will start by describing three major categories of word recognition models: the word shape model, and serial and parallel models of letter recognition. Model #1: Word Shape. American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression v. Strickland. American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression v. Strickland, 560 F.3d 443 (6th Cir. 2009), is a decision of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals involving a constitutional challenge—both facially and as-applied to internet communications—to an Ohio statute prohibiting the dissemination or display to juveniles of certain sexually-explicit materials or performances.

The Sixth Circuit panel declined to resolve the constitutional issue but, instead, certified two questions to the Ohio Supreme Court regarding the interpretation of the statute.[1] The Ohio Supreme Court answered both questions affirmatively and placed a narrowing construction on the statute.[2] Since the Ohio Supreme Court's decision, the Sixth Circuit has not reheard the case. Facts and Procedural Background[edit] The district court concluded that the amended statute’s definition of material "harmful to juveniles” was not unconstitutionally vague, and thus satisfied the Supreme Court’s tests under Miller and Ginsberg.

EPUB (short for electronic publication; sometimes styled ePub) is a free and open e-book standard by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF). Files have the extension .epub. EPUB is designed for reflowable content, meaning that an EPUB reader can optimize text for a particular display device. EPUB also supports fixed-layout content. The format is intended as a single format that publishers and conversion houses can use in-house, as well as for distribution and sale.
