The Jew Daughter

Judd Morrissey's text The Jew Daughter appeared to me as the embodiment of the professor Hayles concept of “flickering signifiers” (from the book How We Become Posthuman). The text appears like the flickering image that the reader must control. That also reminded me of the warning of theoretician Espen Aarseth that reading the cybertext is not an easy task. Reader must carefully explore textual spaces (that is why Aarseth compared this exploration to exploration of labyrinth). Hypertextual reading is not like free floating through the text, as it is often though (more like hard work – as we today experienced). As in case of The Jew Daughter – reader must control that flickering text that could easily change without readers will. (As Bojana noticed sometime it is not so easy, the meaning of the text depends on the order of the textual sequences).
