Description:
"Los espaoles en Chile: A Distributed Multimedia Edition" blends computer technology and the comedia to produce a text that engages the user beyond the limits of traditional printed material. First, the project joins a modern, critical edition with its unedited original by linking a version written in hyper-text markup language (HTML) with digitized images scanned from the early publication. Next, the edition provides an instantaneous connection to a collection of resources accessible via hyperlinks. Because the critical bibliography, glossary and explanatory notes appear when called upon they do not interrupt the readers flow of the interest. Third, the inclusion of graphic materials such as representations of stage designs, costumes, blocking, machinery, historical materials and related artistic works, immerse the user in contextual information that contributes to his or her understanding of the play and its relation to Spanish and world literature. Finally, the unique opportunities of digital multimedia, such as sound, animation and video facilitate the perception of the relationship between text as performance. The contribution of each of these elements to Francisco Gonzlez de Bustoss Los espaoles en Chile at once enlivens the seventeenth century text and enriches the readers experience with Spanish Golden Age theater.
