HyperNietzsche is the model for a research hypertext that enables a delocalized community of specialists to work in a cooperative and cumulative manner and to publish the results of their work on the internet.
 |
No. A journal publishes mainly unpublished scholarly essays, while our hypertext publishes all sorts of contributions: we do certainly publish articles, but also entire books or brief commentaries of a few lines on a precise point or ultradiplomatic transcriptions of Nietzsche’s manuscripts.
A second difference, we do not publish exclusively the latest research, but all interesting scholarly contributions. And in addition to contributions, HyperNietzsche provides access to primary sources: texts, manuscripts, biographical documents, etc.
Not to mention that a journal has by definition a periodicity, a division into ‘numbers,’ an editor who is responsible for publishing it, and an editorial board usually nominated by the editor. HyperNietzsche has no periodicity, no numbers, no editor, and our editorial board is elected by the community of Nietzsche specialists.
|
|
No, but it is an infrastructure for research and publishing that can serve to establish and publish one or more electronic editions, and to bring them into dialogue with one another and with the critical essays.
The team that is developing HyperNietzsche has also taken on, in addition to the development of the hypertext system, the task of establishing a pilot edition of a collection of Nietzsche’s texts and manuscripts from the period of the philosophy of the free spirit (1876-1881) as an example of the new publishing possibilities offered by this research hypertext.
|

Hypertext, a word invented by Ted Nelson that has now become shopworn from overuse, simply designates a collection of digitized documents, connected by links, more or less structured, and equipped with a navigational interface. The greater the structure, the more it resembles a database; the less the structure, the more it resembles chaos.
We speak of hypertext or hypermedia apropos HyperNietzsche in order to underscore the fact that its website is not constructed according to the now classical process of textual indexing combined with search functions that operate within the field created by the indexing. Rather, it is structured according to a navigational interface that uses:
1) the subdivisions of Nietzsche’s published works and the archival classification of manuscript documents;
2) the intertexual references contained in scholarly articles. HyperNietzsche transforms these documents into a net of hypertext links that connect the contributions to one another and to the original material.
Organizing the material in this way will not be disorienting to Nietzsche specialists because it follows the same principles that organize the object of their study, that is, the materials on which they work.
These two modes of organization are brought together in a mutually complementary relationship via the principle of dynamic contextualization.
|
This principle is one of the most original aspects of HyperNietzsche. While the user navigates the site, moving from one page to the other, this feature makes available precisely those documents that are relevant to the page that is presently being viewed.
For example, if the user selects a manuscript page, the system immediately makes accessible, without the need for additional complicated searches, all the transcriptions and translations available for the page, as well as all the relevant text-genetic paths and all the critical essays that refer to the page.
If the user selects a critical essay, the contextualization mask will present a list of all the Nietzsche texts and manuscripts cited by the author of the essay, and a list of all the contributions that are cited in, or that cite, the essay being viewed.
|
You will have access to all the documents made available to us by the archives that possess the manuscripts, and all the critical essays that authors have submitted to us. In accordance with our OpenSource philosophy, contributions to HyperNietzsche are free, authors are not compensated, and all submissions must be approved for publication by the editorial board.
|
|
All authors who want and are able to publish their work in book form, to retain a copyright for it, and to be paid for it, are warmly encouraged by us to do that as well. HyperNietzsche offers the means and medium for supplementary publication; our intention is to supplement, not to replace, other media.
As far as we know, however, it is rather difficult to make money publishing scholarly books on Nietzsche. In point of fact, usually the contrary is true: scholarly authors are often obliged to help defray the cost of publication in order to be able to publish their texts … with print runs of about 300 copies and minimal distribution.
HyperNietzsche, in contrast, demands no contribution from the authors. At the same time, through the work of our editorial board, we are able to assure that our publications meet the most rigorous scholarly standards. What is more, free access on the internet permits global distribution of the published material. In the scholarly world, wide distribution through a prestigious institution provides a symbolic capital that is more significant than the meager revenue earned through copyrighted material. Moreover, it is increasingly the case that an article available at the click of a mouse is more likely to be read, discussed, and cited, than one that must be purchased in expensive book form or in a journal from an academic publisher with limited distribution, or searched for – often in vain – in libraries and reading rooms.

Some private archives will certainly be interested in raising the value of their collections by permitting them to be published in hypertext format. It increases the visibility of the collection, stimulates research on the subject, and thereby increases the value of the original documents.
As far as public archives are concerned, the conservation and dissemination of their collections is simply an integral part of their mandated mission. A system like HyperNietzsche achieves simultaneously both maximal conservation, because the researchers have less need to make use of the originals, and maximal dissemination, via the internet and the use of dynamic contextualization, which connects the manuscripts immediately via hyperlinks to the relevant scholarship.
Not to mention that this system would provide financial supporters of the archives with complete, direct access to the collections that their contributions subsidize. And that with this system, researchers who are not able to travel to the archives – whether on account of distance or physical limitations or lack of means – would be able, thanks to the internet, to conduct their work on equal terms with colleagues who do have physical access to the archives.
|
No. But it offers a system for organizing information in which digitized versions of Nietzsche’s published works and manuscripts and of scholarly essays can be brought together and made accessible via a navigational interface and a system of coherent links between the primary sources and the secondary literature.
|
|
We do not have a single reference edition, because the function of HyperNietzsche is to incorporate all of the editions whose scholarly value has been validated by the editorial board, whatever the various editorial criteria or technical solutions of the editions may be. In our opinion, it is unlikely that there will ever be a single, definitive edition. Our purpose is to put in place an instrument that guarantees that scholarly work (editions, commentaries, philosophical interpretations) will enjoy broad and free dissemination and will be openly confronted by alternative work. This does not mean that we consider the Colli-Montinari edition to be passé or faulty. If only it were in the public domain, of if Adelphi, Gallimard, De Gruyter etc., were interested in the idea of free distribution, this would be the first edition that we would want to integrate into our hypertext. But in general, HyperNietzsche is more interested in the publication of the future than in the digitization of the past.
|
Never. HyperNietzsche, as a hypertext system, is presently in Version 0.2, which allows for the reception, review, publication, and reading of scholarly essays. Over the course of the next two years we will be opening up the other parts of the hypertext.
But HyperNietzsche, as a collection of texts by and about Nietzsche, will never be complete. Think of it as an expanding public library with virtual walls. As long as there are people who want to read and write about the subject, and as long as governments dedicate money to supporting culture, it will never be finished.
|
HyperNietzsche will always be free. We hope the community of Nietzsche scholars will always find the means to guarantee the survival of their research tool. But even if that turned out not to be the case, HyperNietzsche could not resort to an access fee to insure its survival. On the contrary: an access fee would only decrease the number of users and, thereby, the influence it has within the scholarly world. Beyond that, this would mean a complete change in its legal structure, not to mention its Open Source philosophy.
|
|
The concept of Open Source comes from the information sciences world and is the contemporary expression of one of the fundamental principles of scientific method and practice as they were constituted early in the 17th century: the idea that science is an open enterprise that cannot advance in secret, with only exclusive or restrained dissemination of information; the idea, in other words, that the sharing and dissemination of findings is the most effective method for solving problems and advancing a discipline.
In the humanities, Open Source signifies, on the one hand, the availability of electronic versions of primary materials (texts, images, sounds, film sequences, works of art, archaeological objects), and on the other, the publication on the internet of the results of the research. In January 2002, the HyperNietzsche Association co-organized a colloquium at the École Normale Supérieure titled “Open Source in the Humanities: Open Models for research and publication on the internet” (see: L’Open Source dans les Sciences Humaines. Modèles ouverts de recherche et de publication sur Internet.)
|
HyperNietzsche is the property of the HyperNietzsche Association, and thereby, of all the Nietzsche specialists who belong to it and who publish contributions in the hypertext. It is therefore in their interest, and in the interest of their affiliated institutions, to guarantee the preservation of their work by insuring that the server functions well and that there is regular backup of the data. Presently, the server is located at the École Normale Supérieure, Paris, within the Institut des Textes et Manuscrits Modernes of the Centre National de Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), and the team that administers the project is located at two sites: the one in Paris, and the other at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich. This project is supported by the CNRS, the French Ministry of Research, and the Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung (under the aegis of the Zukunfts-Investitions-Programm of the German government).
Secondly, we plan to make a CD-ROM (or DVD-ROM) each year that will reproduce the then-current state of HyperNietzsche and that will enable local use of the hypertext (with all the functions of on-line access). This CD-ROM will be sent to major libraries worldwide, so that it can be incorporated into their collections and made available to their users. Since most libraries are already engaged in projects to preserve their collections through digitization, we are confident that the material in HyperNietzsche, which will already be in digital form on CD-ROM, will be easy to integrate and thereby to preserve.
Thirdly, and most importantly, the problem of conservation is best solved by the very logic of Open Source: the freedom to make copies of documents in HyperNietzsche is the best way to insure their conservation. The restrictions that copyright principles place on the making of copies greatly limit the dissemination and so also the conservation of works. Systems such as LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) provide scholarly publications on the internet with a concrete application of the Open Source principle.

A brief description in six languages, with a press dossier, is available at <http://www.hypernietzsche.org/doc/presentation/> .
A more detailed but also older description is given in the book: HyperNietzsche. Modèle d'un hypertexte savant sur Internet pour la recherche en sciences humaines. Questions philosophiques, problèmes juridiques, outils informatiques, sous la direction de Paolo D’Iorio, published in Paris by Presses Universitaires de France, 2000, 200 p.. This volume is, incidentally, the first book published by the Presses Universitaires de France to be made available complete and at no cost on the web: <http://www.hypernietzsche.org/doc/puf/>.
|
No. After having developed and tested the system with Nietzsche as the main subject, our intention is to generalize the hypertext system and to write an Open Source program that would make it relatively easy to develop a system like HyperNietzsche for other objects of study (authors, philosophical problems, archival collections, etc.).
|
We believe that reports of the demise of the book have been premature. Books are ideally suited to the activity of reading, and as things now stand it would be very unpleasant to have to read 400 pages of text on a computer screen. Nor is it a satisfactory solution for each reader to print and bind an individual copy using a small printer and a stapler. We think that documents published in HyperNietzsche can provide traditional publishers with material for the publication of good books on Nietzsche, of course with the understanding that the publishers would be in contact with the authors regarding copyright matters. Further, it is our belief that availability on-line will not have an adverse effect on book sales.
HyperNietzsche will also offer a print-on-demand option, which would print, bind, and deliver a single copy of a book. Such books could consist in the reproduction of a single, long essay, or of an anthology of texts, manuscript facsimiles, and essays that have been selected by a reader who is interested in a particular aspect of Nietzsche’s philosophy.
|
One would need to address that question to the publishers themselves.
|
With a spirit of openness and collegiality: we are making available at no cost an infrastructure for research and publishing. All researchers are welcome to make use of it without any formalities and while still retaining their right to publish their work on paper or on other internet sites (see below the description of HyperNietzsche’s legal structure).
We invite all research groups who work on Nietzsche, whether on textual editing, interpretation, or other aspects, as well as individual scholars, young or old, to contribute their work to this common and cumulative endeavor.
|
The editorial board is presently composed of thirteen Nietzsche specialists from a variety of countries. The statutes of the HyperNietzsche Association specify that the editorial board will be elected every two years by all the members of the association. One becomes a member simply be publishing at least one contribution in HyperNietzsche and by presenting a letter (or email) of recommendation from one member. The first editorial board, meanwhile, was nominated by the founding members of the association.
The editorial board is responsible for evaluating, via the internet, the contributions that are submitted for publication, and for determining how to integrate such new material into HyperNietzsche.
|
We are a group of researchers, specialists either on Nietzsche or on textual criticism and genesis, computer programmers, and lawyers, with main offices in two locations: the Institut de Textes et Manuscrits Modernes of the Centre National de Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris; and the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich. Many associates, however, live and work elsewhere. Numerous institutions have funded and supported our project, including: the CNRS, the French Ministry of Education, the DAAD, and the Fondation Treilles. The prestigious Sofja Kovaleskaja Prize, awarded to us by the Fondation Alexander von Humboldt, has been crucial for our current operations.

By contribution, we mean the result of an author’s work on Nietzsche. This could be a transcription of a letter or manuscript, the editing of a text, a reconstruction of a text’s genetic path (e.g., from earlier draft to published work), a philological or philosophical commentary, a scholarly essay, a bibliography, or a translation.
The present edition of HyperNietzsche, Version 0.2 [http://www.hypernietzsche.org/doc/versions/] only accepts scholarly essays.
|
|
Articles published on the internet have absolutely the same legal status as those published on paper (see below) and therefore can certainly be included on a c.v.. That being said, one should still take into consideration that established academic practices change slowly, and that there is still some resistance to idea of giving equal weight to articles published on the Internet and those that appear on paper. This is changing, but in the eyes of some, electronic publications have less prestige and less credibility.
For this reason, an author who publishes in HyperNietzsche will receive, for each publication, a certificate that includes the names of the members of the editorial board and a description of the selection process, in order to underscore that the editorial standards of HyperNietzsche are just as rigorous, if not more so, than those of the best academic journals in the field.
In addition, through HyperNietzsche authors are able to print an unlimited number of offprints of their texts in an elegant form (simply by choosing ‘print’ next to the icon for the essay; for example: <http://www.hypernietzsche.org/print/gmelendez-1>) . When the print-on-demand system is made available, authors will also be able to order their texts on line and have them delivered by post in the form of books or offprints.
|
|
The procedure is simple because each contribution published in HyperNietzsche has a unique abbreviation, consisting of the first letter of the author’s first name, followed by the last name, a dash, and then the number of the publication. For example, the second article published by Germán A. Meléndez in HyperNietzsche would be cited in the following manner:
Germán A. Melendez, La profundización del pesimismo como clave de continuidad en el pensamiento de Nietzsche, HyperNietzsche, 13 March 2002, <http://www.hypernietzsche.org/gmelendez-2>.
The abbreviations provide direct access to articles published in HyperNietzsche. One needs only to type in the abbreviation for the desired article after the internet address http://www.hypernietzsche.org/ in order to access it. The following illustration, for example, shows how to access the first HyperNietzsche publication by Mazzino Montinari (mmontinari-1):

Just as with journal or book publications, the danger of plagiarism is always present. Pirating and forgery are not the result of the internet. The internet does, however, actually make it easier to deal with plagiarism: if an article that is plagiarized has been published in a journal on paper (perhaps with limited distribution), it is not easy to prove that the plagiarist knew of its existence. Whereas, if the text is published on the internet, with maximal distribution, it is much more difficult for the thief to pretend to have been unaware of it. Moreover, if the plagiarist then in turn publishes on the internet, any search engine would suffice to find the pirated material.
The moral of the story: if you fear plagiarists, publish on the net. If you are in the habit of trying to pass off the ideas of others as your own, publish on paper: you are less likely to be discovered.
|
|
No. The article will first be sent to the editorial board for evaluation in accordance with the HyperNietzsche Peer Review procedures, and you will then receive a positive or negative response within a time frame of between two weeks and two months.
|
|
In any language that is read by at least two members of the editorial board. Currently: English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, or Spanish.

In research and teaching the use of contracts is often neglected, and this is regrettable. Legally speaking, from the moment an author publishes an article, essay, or thesis, or makes an oral presentation (a course lecture, a conference paper) a contract is obligatory. This contract is subject to particular rules <http://www.hypernietzsche.org/licenses/faq_copyright.html>, the contravention of which nullifies the contract.
HyperNietzsche wants to respect intellectual property rights, and for this reason the Association proposes a contract to each of its authors: the HyperNietzsche License.
|
|
The HyperNietzsche License [http://www.hypernietzsche.org/licenses/hn/] is established between two parties, the author who submits a contribution and the HyperNietzsche Association.
This license is established electronically: in submitting a contribution to HyperNietzsche, the author therewith gives ascent to its publication on the internet site. In so doing, the author agrees to the terms of the HyperNietzsche License.
The license, however, includes a conditional suspension. In effect, the license will only come into effect and be definitively established if and when the editorial board, in accordance with the evaluation procedure, approves the publication of the contribution. At that point, the author must simply respond to an email from HyperNietzsche in order to establish the agreement between the two parties definitively. The email that will be sent to the author once the contribution has been approved by the editorial board will include a message to this effect: “By responding to this message, I authorize the HyperNietzsche Association to distribute my contribution and I accept the terms of the HyperNietzsche License, which is hereby established between the two parties.”
The required response to this email consists simply of the author’s last name and first name, entered at the end of the message. This detail is important, because it provides the proof of the author’s wish to enter into the contract definitively with the HyperNietzsche Association. The contribution will be published on the site once this message from the author has been received.
|
|
With the HyperNietzsche License [http://www.hypernietzsche.org/licenses/hn/], the author agrees in the first place to allow the relevant contribution to be published on the HyperNietzsche site for a period of ten years, potentially renewable.
At the same time, by accepting the terms of the HyperNietzsche License, the author permits the HyperNietzsche Association to publish the text in all digital formats (CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, internet, etc.), in accordance with the user license “OpenKnowledge” [http://www.hypernietzsche.org/licenses/ok/]. In other words, the author accepts that the Association will authorize every internet user who reproduces the text (by printing or downloading from the website) to use it freely for the purposes of teaching and research. Commercial use is excluded from this authorization: anyone who intends to seek financial gain through the use of a text published in HyperNietzsche must ask for permission from the relevant author. In such cases, the author may request remuneration.
This license does not give exclusive rights to HyperNietzsche: the author is entirely free to publish the text elsewhere, whether on the internet or with a traditional publisher on paper (nota bene: in such cases, the author clearly would not be permitted to give to any other publisher exclusive rights to the text in question).
In accepting the terms of the HyperNietzsche License, the author guarantees that the work is original, that is to say, that it has not been made by copying other works, but is rather the genuine work of the author who has submitted it to the editorial board.
|
|
Certainly. The only exception would be if the author had already signed a publishing contract for the contribution in question, and if this contract expressly provides for the ceding of rights including the right to publication on the internet. In all other cases, the author is considered to have retained the rights to electronic dissemination and therefore always has the option of publishing, either privately or by authorizing a third party (for example, HyperNietzsche), or even many third parties (provided exclusivity is not granted to any single one of them), the contribution on the internet, even when it has already been published on paper.
If no contract for the publication of the contribution has been executed, as is often the case, the author certainly retains full rights to electronic publication, because in reality the author has not ceded any rights at all (one can even say that the author has not ceded rights to publication in paper form). In such a case, the author can certainly give permission to a third party to publish a text on the internet.
Therefore, all contributions (articles, essays, etc.) that have not been formally subjected to a publishing contract (one which expressly provides for electronic publishing) may be published in HyperNietzsche.
|
|
As in the previous case: if the author has signed a contract for the publication of the contribution on the internet, the question is whether this contract does or does not provide for exclusivity. If it does, the contribution cannot be republished. If the contract does not provide for exclusivity, in principle, the author may give permission to a third party to publish the contribution on another site.
If no contract has been signed regarding publication on the internet, the author is considered to have retained all the rights and may, in principle, give permission to a third party (like HyperNietzsche) to republish the contribution.
|
|
Yes. The HyperNietzsche license provides for the author to cede the rights to the Association for translations of the contribution (but again, no exclusivity is granted). If the contribution is translated, the HyperNietzsche Association will cede the rights it has to the author in turn, so that the author can benefit as well from the translation, provided all use made of it is legal. The translation is, in principle, a self-standing work, and as such is protected. Using it therefore requires the permission of the translator.
|
|
No. In no case does the HyperNietzsche License provide for payment. It expressly mentions that publication on the HyperNietzsche site does not include any royalty payment.
The HyperNietzsche Association does not manage rights. If anyone wants to republish texts that have been published in HyperNietzsche, direct contact must be made with the author of the text without intervention on the part of the Association.
|
|
Yes, absolutely. From a legal perspective, a publication on the internet is the same as a publication in a journal or in book form with a traditional publisher. It follows that a copyright is equally applicable and that the contribution has the same protections that it would have if published on paper with a traditional published.
Each author accepts that a given contribution will be circulated for the purposes of research and teaching (and with respect for the moral rights of the author), but such practice is precisely and expressly our goal: it is the essential feature of the contractual model proposed by HyperNietzsche. Without these licenses, all use of the contributions would be impossible, including use for the purposes of research and teaching.
It is important to note that, in following this practice, the author does not renounce any rights. In particular, the commercial use of texts from the HyperNietzsche website without prior consent of the author is an infringement of copyright. The permission of the author must be requested for any such use, and the author may in turn require remuneration. Contributions to HyperNietzsche are therefore fully protected by copyright.
|
|
The licenses of HyperNietzsche are designed according to Open Source logic, which the Association defends, and which seeks to support the digitization, publication, and use of scholarly work for the purposes of research and teaching, while also preserving authorial copyright, especially when such research is destined for commercial use.
To this end, the OpenKnowledge License [http://www.hypernietzsche.org/licenses/ok/] proposes:
1. to authorize all use of contributions published in HyperNietzsche insofar as such use is in the context of research and teaching, in addition to that which is provided for in French law regarding intellectual property (private copies, short citations, etc). In particular, the reproduction of complete texts is permitted if it is intended for non-commercial use. By contributing to HyperNietzsche, the author recognizes and accepts that the HyperNietzsche Association enters into an OpenKnowledge License with every user. This license authorizes each third party who downloads a text from HyperNietzsche to use it for the (exclusive) purposes of research and teaching.
2. to forbid any use of contributions published in HyperNietzsche for commercial purposes.
|
|
The OpenKnowledge License [http://www.hypernietzs che.org/licenses/ok/] authorizes each internet user who reproduces a text from HyperNietzsche (by printing or downloading) to use it freely if it is (exclusively) for the purposes of research and teaching.
By “use for the purposes of research and teaching,” we mean all non-commercial activities within this domain, and so for example, the inclusion in part or in full of contributions in HyperNietzsche as illustrations in the context of an academic course or the writing of a thesis or seminar paper, or as publications on the internet in the context of research sites or private (non-commercial, free access)websites belonging to individual researchers.
It must be emphasized that in every case it is OBLIGATORY that the source be cited. As the OpenKnowledge License indicates, the user agrees to indicate the name of the author, if possible the electronic address of the work cited, and the reference: « © License OpenKnowledge, http://www.hypernietzsche.org/licenses/ok/ ».
Every commercial use of the texts in HyperNietzsche is EXCLUDED from the license. By “commercial use” we mean anything undertaken with the intention of making a profit (or avoiding a loss) through royalties, fees, or any other remuneration of any kind. It follows that commercial use of a course manual or reading packet may not be made unless the author of the texts (retrieved from HyperNietzsche) gives permission.
|
|
To make commercial use of a text published in HyperNietzsche, the publisher must make direct contact with the author of the text, whose email address can be found in HyperNietzsche.
It is important to underscore that the HyperNietzsche Association does not play the role of intermediary or agent. The rights transmitted to HyperNietzsche do not apply to commercial use, and HyperNietzsche is therefore not able to authorize such use.
|
|
We take this license to be indispensable as long as in France (especially) a copyright exception is not officially recognized for use made in the context of teaching and research and is not applicable to the internet. These licenses serve as an substitute solution, because, in Open Source logic, the authors of HyperNietzsche agree to allow their contributions to circulate widely and freely (but only insofar as they are used for the purposes of research and teaching).
Such fair use is not recognized in French copyright law and in that of other European countries. (Under these laws, all use falls under the monopoly of the author, whose permission must be received in all save very rare cases such as brief citations or private copies). Therefore, only a contract such as the one used by HyperNietzsche provides a solution. This is the reason why we employ a contractual model that relies on two licenses, one entered into by the authors and the Association, the other entered into by the Association and the users.
|
|
Yes. HyperNietzsche does not ask for exclusivity from its authors, and so a text already published in HyperNietzsche may be published elsewhere, either on paper or electronically.
However, nota bene: exclusive rights to the text in question may not be given to another publisher because the text will have already been published (on the HyperNietzsche website). In fact, this is the only constraint placed on HyperNietzsche authors: they must give up the right to offer exclusive rights to their text to a third party, because this would mean that further publication of the text would be blocked, and that the text would not be permitted to circulate freely for the purposes of research and teaching.
