The grammar of hypertelevision: an identikit of convergence-age fiction television (or, how television simulates new interactive media)
The arrival of “new media” such as the Web and multimedia mobile devices is transforming “old media” such as television.

| Sumario: | The arrival of “new media” such as the Web and multimedia mobile devices is transforming “old media” such as television. If we consider that these new media coexist with the old ones in the same system, then it could be a valid exercise to analyze the contaminations between them. In this article, I analyze the aesthetics of new audiovisual productions-–i.e., the acceleration of rhythm, the multiplication of characters and narrative programs—and the transformations of the television interface in order to identify the pertinent traits of what I define as hypertelevision. The article concludes with a reflection on the simulation of interactive experiences in contemporary television. |
