Abstract:
Textuality—which refers to the collective characteristics and circumstances of texts—is intertwined with materiality; the medium of communication influences our interpretation of the content being conveyed. With the growing popularity of technologies like large language models, perceptions of digital textuality are changing. Source code and natural language computing allow us to interact with computers in different text-based ways, drawing our attention to the digital infrastructures underpinning our experiences of digital texts. This attention supports consideration of the changing roles of those digital texts in our lives. In an increasingly digital world, content, form, and cultural perceptions of textual value continue to converge and entangle, fostering new kinds of digital textuality.
