These tutorials offer web-based support for the study of our
syllabus on the notion of "information space" and its navigational
metaphors.
The sections Landscape, Art, Literature,
Hypermedia , are meant to show the interactions of the
various media in visual culture.
Each tutorial contains three sections,
Resources (marked by the
icon of the surveying instrument), listing the major reference
sources
Links and comparisons (marked
by the icon of the bridge), making connections with websites
on related topics
Interpretation (marked
by the icon of the palette), raising theoretical issues
The exploration of these resources is meant to emphasise the
topic of the seminar, the interaction between information methods
and metaphorical space: hypertextual search is both a means of
information-gathering and a paradigm of knowledge.
