NEW PAPER FROM THE CENTRE FOR INTERNET RESEARCH
Website Analysis. Elements of a conceptual architecture by Niels Brügger, 56 pages, The Centre for Internet Research, Aarhus Abstract "On the basis of an introductory discussion of interactivity, hypertextuality and multimediality, this text sets out, on the one hand, to ask what a website is as an object of study, and, on the other, to propose some elements of a conceptual architecture which may enable us to approach this question and to grasp the website analytically. It is argued that website analysis may address the following three analytical objects: the media environment (Internet and web), the textual environment (desktop, windows, web browser, and ancillary software), and finally, the textuality, which is to say, the textual elements which in a strict sense constitute the website as a textual phenomenon. The main focus is on the textual elements, their characteristics and their interrelations, and special attention is drawn to the forms and the functions of the website’s paratexts, i.e. the small texts located at the boundaries of the main text (e.g. headings, lists, breadcrumb paths, drop-down menus, and search terms entered into a search field)."
