| dc.description.abstract | The starting point for this discussion was the process of electronic transformations of
periodicals for children and youth, which have gradually become multifunctional web
portals for many different types of users (apart from children and young adults, also parents,
teachers, and educators). As digital resources operating on the principle of convergence, such
portals have become texts of culture that are present in the cyberspace and consequently
are very popular with young recipients, who are the most active group of Internet users.
The study of the new quality of “reading online”, which is hypertextual reading (including
children’s reading), seems to be still closely connected to literature, literary studies, and
narratology. Electronic links, one of the defining features of hypertext, are also practical
manifestations of the concept of intertextuality. This article considers several separate issues,
such as hypertextual reading as a way of communication; as reminiscences, retrospections
and returns; as a game; and as community building. | en |
