[NABOKOV-L] Nabokovian Performers? ( a query)

Dear List,

It's impossible not to flaunt my ignorance about certain theories and terms which encompass special things, as close to my heart as Nabokov remains, if I want to enlist your help
Query: Is there any serious study about "Nabokov and Bakhtin" that sets its focus on modern www resources?

I was browsing thru an article about Vannevar Bush's original project, named "Memex," and its development, almost twenty years later, by Theodor Holm Nelson and Andries van Dam ( Project "Xanadu") in the field of technology - and Gérard Genette's non-electronic intra-, para- , meta-, arqui- and hypertextualities (1982)... plus George P. Landow's first chapter of Book 5 "Hypertext: the Convergence of Contemporary Critical Theory and Technology", 1992, relating the hypertext with post-structuralist theories held by Barthes, Foucault and Derrida. Many other names cited, such as Kristeva's, Bakhtin's, Pierre Lévy's.... My head spins contrafactually!

My query is stimulated by the need to know a bit more about the functioning of our present-day electronic forums (i.e., this our Nab-L), and how Nabokov's works, in particular, significantly respond in a fluid open way to innumerable possible "windows," related to ethics, aesthetics, geography, world history, literature, painting, science, sociology, semiology, his own books and other author's, aso
Do we already have Nabokovian "Performers" (our EDs, for example?)

Thanks in advance!
Jansy
