In this article a confrontation between G. Stein's compositional procedures and contemporary hypertextual forms of writing is envisaged and launched. The collection of Stenian critical texts titled "How To Write" (1931) is juxtaposed to Katie Clapham's "Brain Versioning 1.0" (2008) as presented in the journal of women's innovative writing "How2" (2009). The hypothesis is that the two works, very distant in time, genesis, and function, share a common ground of experimentation challenging any canonical constraint in the creation of poetry and forms of art.

Abstract
In this article a confrontation between G. Stein's compositional procedures and contemporary hypertextual forms of writing is envisaged and launched. The collection of Stenian critical texts titled "How To Write" (1931) is juxtaposed to Katie Clapham's "Brain Versioning 1.0" (2008) as presented in the journal of women's innovative writing "How2" (2009). The hypothesis is that the two works, very distant in time, genesis, and function, share a common ground of experimentation challenging any canonical constraint in the creation of poetry and forms of art.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
