Adrian Miles wrote this some years ago: "While Michael Joyce once, rather famously, commented that "hypertext is the word's revenge on TV" (Joyce, 1995: 47) I'd like to suggest that hypertext is in fact cinema's revenge on the word, and what I am interested in exploring is the word's remaking of itself in the light of the cinematic. This 'allure of the cinematic' as the expression of an always immanent cinematic force probably takes various forms, however through the comparison of a particular cinematic moment or gesture - the edit - in the light of a particular hypertextual moment or gesture - the link, this force is given, in some manner, corporeal expression."
