Postmodernism for Texts

The implications of postmodern theory for text primarily deal with textuality. The postmodern conception of texts is that they exist in a network of other texts (even in print), that they exist in relation to all other texts. For hypertext on the Web, this network conception is quite literal: all documents on the Web do exist on the same network and can potentially be part of any other text by means of a link. Also, by viewing text as a mass assemblage, the center of the work is not fixed, and is determined more by the reader than by the text itself.
