Powerpoint 和类似技术为授课和信息呈现的深刻变革做出了贡献。本文重点关注 Powerpoint 演示文稿中的指向，讨论了语音向“演示文稿”转变的各个方面。与流行的针对 powerpoint 的攻击相反，对大量视听记录的演示文稿（主要是德语）的分析证明了这些“表演”的创造力，其基础是幻灯片（以及该技术的其他方面）、语音、指向和身体形态的相互作用。指向似乎是这种演示的一个特殊特征，它允许知识在空间中定位。考虑到powerpoint是所谓“知识社会”的典型技术之一，这一方面为社会对知识的理解提供了一些指示。知识不是“再现”现实，而是通过言说和展示的循环来定义，从而成为呈现的知识而不是再现的知识。
Powerpoint and similar technologies have contributed to a profound transformation of lecturing and presenting information. In focusing on pointing in powerpoint presentations, the article addresses aspects of this transformation of speech into `presentations'. As opposed to popular attacks against powerpoint, the analysis of a large number of audio-visually recorded presentations (mainly in German) demonstrates the creativity of these `performances', based on the interplay of slides (and other aspects of this technology), speech, pointing and body formations. Pointing seems to be a particular feature of this kind of presentation, allowing knowledge to be located in space. Considering powerpoint as one of the typical technologies of so-called `knowledge societies', this aspect provides some indication as to the social understanding of knowledge. Instead of `representing' reality, knowledge is defined by the circularity of speaking and showing, thus becoming presented knowledge rather than representing knowledge.
