Title: The Progressive Dinner Party

URL: http://www.heelstone.com/meridian/templates/Dinner/dinner1.htm

Description: As part of the online journal Riding the Meridian, The Progressive Dinner Party invites the reader to explore thirty-nine online works by women as part of a culinary reading journey through eight different countries and four continents: Cocktails from Australia, Hors d’oeuvres from Europe, Salad from Canada, Fish from the Coasts, Entrée from the US Heartland, Dessert from the Tropics and Brandy and Coffee from New York. The website offers these tempting culinary trajectories for a transnational hypertextual and hypermedial reading experience (playing on the double-meaning of ‘menu’), as well as takes the reader through a hypertextual world map and to a virtual table, which all become an indexical transit zone for a computer-based reading journey from one electronic region of the world to another. A commentary on the collection is provided by N. Katherine Hayles and Talan Memmott. Entry drafted by: Martina Pfeiler
