Using Twitter as one of our annotations repositories?


would it make sense to exploit twitter
as a general literary-annotations database?

it appears twitter will index hashtags of any length
so we should be able to
compose
unique hashtags
associated with any web document
at any degree of granularity
and use those hashtags
to track annotations of these documents
over a seemingly unlimited time frame

so
#u003called
could be a reasonably unique hashtag
for debate of the "called up"/"called out" question
('u' for ulysses
'003' for page 3 of the 1922 edition
'called' as the least ambiguous single keyword)

similarly
#fw003riverrun
for finnegans wake
and maybe even
#fw001apostrophe
for finnegans vs finnegan's

if we post every current fweet note
as a separate tweet
that's currently under 100,000
(there's about 200,000 words,
1.3M characters)

even at the snailpace of four tweets per hour
that would only take three years
(but does twitter even throttle this at all?)

and if we're planning ahead for all documents
"u" and "fw" will be inadequate
but "jaju" and "jajfw" much less so
(more important docs deserve the shortest hashkeys)

fweet includes lots of crosslinks for motifs, etc
eg #fwcoleridge
#fwfrench

some intentional spam might need to be blocked

enthusiasts can follow each others' feeds
and use the hashtags to call up past debates
and discover new contributors

ambiguous spellings can be tagged both ways

phrases can be tagged for each important word:
#fw003past #fw003eve #fw003adams
(punctuation may need special handling)

including a fweet or pjoyce url will still leave 120chars
minus at most 20 per hashtag

long annotations can be split up or handled via a url
(ellipses could signal
twitter-threaded-replies
without hashtags)

if twitter supports full unicode in hashtags
unique hashtags can be a lot shorter
(though you'll need to copy and paste them rather than typing them in)

maybe whole chapters can get tags:
#u003telemachus

images, videos and links can be included as annotations

HJS index

[link] "Ulysses, Chaos, and Complexity" Thomas Jackson Rice

[link] "Beyond the Orality/Literacy Dichotomy: James Joyce and the Pre-History of Cyberspace" Donald Theall
 Third, his work is itself the first "in- depth" contemporary exploration of the complexities of reading, writing, rewriting, speaking, aurality, and orality.


[link] "Where are we at all? and whenabouts in the name of space?" Darren Tofts

[link] "Live Finnegans Wake Discussions in Cyberspace" Michael Ditmore
Since both of the currently operating public groups are working on a chapter apiece, it would, if fifteen more groups started work, be possible to produce a commentary that covered the entire novel in only two years.

[link] "Feydeau's Republic" Kevin Nolan

[link] "From Symptom to Machine: James Joyce & the Perversions of the Textual Apparatus" Louis Armand

[link] "From Hypertext to Codework" McKenzie Wark
Codework makes of writing a media art that breaks with the fetishism of the text and the abstraction of language. It brings writing into contact with the other branches of media art, such as music and cinema, all of which are converging in the emerging space of multimedia, and which often have a richer conception of the politics of media art as a collaborative practice than has been the case with writing conceived within the prison-house of "text."
 

[link] ""a retrospective sort of arrangement": Ulysses & the Poetics of Hypertextuality" Darren Tofts
One of the greatest textual precursors of the hypertextual, Jorge-Luis Borges, described Joyce as "the intricate and near-infinite Irishman who wove Ulysses." We would do well to remember that this weaving was done in a classical temper and was far from hyper.

[link] "Joyce's Practice of Intertextuality: The Anticipation of Hypermedia and Its Implications for Textual Analysis of Finnegans Wake" Donald F. Theall
The current web and other digital projects of the Joycean community are generating a global pan-encyclopaedic hypertextual context for the reading of the Wake.


[link] "Joyce in Exile" Petr Skrabanek

[link] ""Snow is general": Newspaper Weather Forecasting and 'The Dead'" Stephen Donovan

[link] "From the Cyberglobal Chaosmos to the Gutenberg Galaxy: The Prehistory of Cyberelectronic Language(s)" Donald F. Theall
What we have looked at today is the importance of realizing that there is a musical, choregraphic, visual art and poetic presence side by side with the techno-scientific in the emergence of our new cyber-electronic languages (our contemporary thrust for the para-oral and para-verbal) and that the history and current immediacy of that presence is an important aid to media ecologists.

FOCUS ON GIACOMO JOYCE

[link] "Through a Glass Darkly: Reflections on the Other Joyce" Louis Armand

[link] "On Not Coming to Terms with Giacomo Joyce" Fritz Senn
Somehow Joyce's early phase came to a minute climax in Giacomo Joyce and perhaps the path was cleared for new arts as yet unknown, but already prefigured.


[link] "Apology in Another's Hand: Giacomo Joyce: Who?" M.E. Roughley
the actual writing of the words "Giacomo Joyce" and Ellmann's description of the name, written "On the upper left-hand corner of the front cover," as "inscribed in another hand" 

[link] ""Ghosts In The Mirror": Perception And The Visual In Giacomo Joyce" Clare Wallace

[link] "Transformations of the Book in Joyce's Dream Vision of Digiculture" Donald F. Theall
Yet from whatever Joyce learned, particularly in Zurich and Paris, it was his unique contribution to craft "a vicociclometer, a tetradomational gazebocroticon," which would anticipate the impacts on communication and expression of digitalisation and the convergence of media that would accompany it.


[link] "Problems of Annotation in a Digital Ulysses" Michael Groden
It is our challenge in "Digital Ulysses" to demonstrate, perhaps in a new way, the value and utility of annotations.

[link] "Finnegans Wake: Losing Control in Book III iii" Jane Lewty

[link] "Semiotic Perturbations: What the Frog's Eye tells us about Finnegans Wake" Mark Nunes
I suggest instead that a dynamic semiotics would treat the Wake as a process that exposes the role of perturbations in the production of meaning, as well as the necessity of a system to compensate for perturbations by reaching moments of semantic stability.

[link] "Writing After: Joyce, Cage" Louis Armand

[link] "A Eumaean Return to Style" Sam Slote
Eumaean style thus remarks that style is always errant in the home that is language. 

[link] "Aurality and Adaptation: Radioplay in Ulysses" Jane A. Lewty

[link] "Mind Factory: From Artifice to Intelligence" Louis Armand
Between thought and intelligibility, then, exists a technological movement of redefinition and re-relation, in whose dynamic we might say intelligence itself is somehow constituted.


Finnegans Wake III.3 and the Third Millennium

[link] "The Ghost of Modernisms Yet to Come" John Marvin

[link] "Gat-toothed Alysoun, Gaptoothed Kathleen: Sovereignty and Dentition" William Sayers

[link] "Visualising Joyce" Ian Gunn & Mark Wright
The intention here is research into the details of Joyce's Ulysses yet it is possible to imagine a Grand Theft Auto meets The Sims virtual reality Ulysses where the Dublin of 1904 is rebuilt with Lawrence Collection street scenes pasted onto the façades

[link] "Joycean Choreo-graphies of Writing in Stephen Hero and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" Laurent Milesi
The quintessential, quasi-alchemical sifting of epiphanic ingredients and the conditions of epiphanic revelation, paradoxically through a dissolution of its centrality in A Portrait, had thus to retain and transform in the crucible of art this crucial difference between religion and aesthetics in order to recast more effectively the still predominantly rhythmical-gestural, quasi-mythical foundation of art.

[link] "On Relativity, Synaesthesia and Materiality " Louis Armand

[link] "Parallax Opoponax" Valerie Benejam

[link] "Feigning Dublin: Joyce's Repositionings of his Readers" Alan R Roughley
The creation of textual positions with which the reader can textually situate him- or herself is only one of the numerous strategies by which the Wake assists its readers, and its use of pronouns for the interpellation of its readers is inscribed in a writing that identifies itself as "prepronominal."

[link] "Being-for-Others in "Two Gallants": Sycophancy and Symbiosis" Jim LeBlanc

[link] "Bad Joyce: Anti-Aesthetic Practices in Ulysses" Brian Richardson

[link] "Bootstrapping Finnegans Wake" Alexandra Dumitrescu
As we have seen, Joyce's world structures as multiple-centred network organised around what we can call vortexes: agglomerations of meanings around which segments of text gravitate, describing recursive movements.

[link] "The Problem of Genesis in the Texts of Joyce" Jed Deppman
The lengthy and absolute genesis enshrined, with whatever degree of irony, in the villanelle scene in A Portrait has in Ulysses been fragmented into shorter, more individualized ones. There is no pretense to a single poetics of genesis, no aesthetic vocabulary or metaphorical system from Aquinas or the book of Genesis to underpin the various scenes of writing. On the contrary, the conceptual and metaphorical frameworks that guide our understanding of the genetic processes examined above – Stephen's excretion, Bloom's default to cultural norms, Mulligan's masturbation – are all presented as obviously partial and insufficient.
