Sažetak
This study analyses hypertext as a multilinear, decentralized and non-hierarchicized open work which in the last few decades became a separate field of study in literary criticism because of its revolutionary solutions. Hypertext as an open work is so defined by three characteristics: interactivity or the active role of the reader in the creation of meaning ; textual transmutability or permeability of network hypertexts ; and the role of the machine in the creation of the meaning or cyborg aesthetics. The openness of the meaning has led the theory to define hypertext as the embodiment of the poststructuralist Text or of the open work as a plural space of signifying. By analysing the hypertext with the support of Eco’ s notion, this study will make effort in defining the difference between the openness in the metaphorical sense, which is the basis of the poststructuralist textualism, and the openness as mechanical characteristic of every hypertext.
