The third issue of the academic journal Cibertextualidades has just been published by Fernando Pessoa University Editions, with essays on cyberliterature, digital culture and new media.

The organizers, Rui Torres and Sergio Bairon, have chosen to discuss the relation between Knowledge and Hypermedia, proposing a reflection about the conditions of knowledge production within digital media platforms. The articles selected for publication articulate different theoretical positions, negotiating the implementation of models of hypermedia reading in different contexts. Amid this diversity, it is possible to identify an interaction between human/social sciences and communication/information technologies which transform the way we perceive and produce literature, communication, and culture. There is also a common concern with methodologies for the use of hypermedia as a tool for the creation and the communication of science. In this sense, relevant academic hypermedia productions which question the modes of representation of both analytic and reflective thinking are reviewed and analysed.

This issue discusses typologies and taxonomies for the understanding of cybertextualities.

The articles, fully available on the UFP’s Digital Library, are all written in Portuguese, but I will provide here a translation of the titles:
