STORYSPACE CAMBRIDGE FULL
Next, we placed each book of the Odyssey (taking the full text from Perseus) into a Storyspace writing space. The visual quality of these connections helped to structure and clarify our thinking.
STORYSPACE CAMBRIDGE MANUAL
Once we had completed this manual search, we checked our findings with an electronic search of these words using Perseus. We began our search for evidence by compiling a list of descriptors and epithets referring to all of Homer's characters. Our goal was to demonstrate this heroism using the language of the text. The first leg of our journey began with the hypothesis that Penelope was a Homeric hero-like her husband Odysseus.
Because hypertext allows translators and scholars to examine formal structures, it provides an excellent medium for translating the formulaic language that suffuses the Odyssey. Seeing the text this way underscores Storyspace's value as a tool that highlights the dynamism, interactivity, open-endedness, and malleability of a text, particularly one rooted in the oral tradition. Patterns emerge that might have otherwise remained hidden. This flexible maneuverability, likewise, yields multiple ways of viewing information. This aesthetic quality abounds in Storyspace expressly because writers can construct and display texts so that the text unfolds along multiple paths. Obviously, any writing environment that allows the author to shape ideas visually entails an aesthetic component. This aesthetic quality abounds in Storyspace. In fact, it enabled us to recapture associative links that had previously been overlooked and to examine the ways in which particular words functioned in formulae and epithets. Furthermore, because of its ability to make intertextual links, Storyspace facilitates the process of accessing and connecting those passages of the text we would like to compare. Building relationships between writing spaces within a document makes shuttling between ideas easier, so work in Storyspace bypasses the tedious process of weeding through long texts line by line or sifting through multiple layers of screens. Although the powerful text search capabilities of Perseus locate information quickly, Storyspace allows for multiple ways of categorizing, structuring, and restructuring information.
STORYSPACE CAMBRIDGE DOWNLOAD
Because we can download entire texts from Perseus into Storyspace writing spaces, we can readily examine different organizations of and linkages within the text. Storyspace and Perseus assisted us in study and writing. Storyspace assisted us in exploring the structures that bind together Homer's Odyssey, guided our scholarship surrounding Penelope's heroism, and led us to translate the story based upon this vision of the heroic Penelope. Our search for a way to unite the disparate activities required for translating Homeric texts gave us an appreciation for Storyspace as a means of sorting, compiling, and analyzing information. Storyspace assisted us in exploring the structures that bind together Homer's Odyssey While translating sections of Homer's Odyssey, we became interested in finding new ways to explore and represent the connections of significant words and phrases, and to access and compare multiple translations of these sections. Instead, translation proceeds through close reading and through thoughtful tracing of the threads of association and allusion the author has woven throughout the text. Translation is not merely the process of literal transference from one language to another. The Loom and the Weaver Dene Grigar and Mindi Corwin
