Conference Series
Text Affects is the forum for exploring how texts — from hypertexts and digital narratives to literature and social media — shape human experience: influencing social change, reframing histories.
With an interdisciplinary and supportive approach to scholarship, the series brings together researchers from diverse fields including hypertext studies, book history, and digital aesthetics – fostering connections and bridging gaps between disciplines and practices.
Text Affects vision aims to be more than a conference: more a laboratory for fresh ideas, a supportive scholarly community helping guide innovative research from inception to maturity. Text Affects complements the conference with a community strategy that supports all accepted ideas with staggered publishing opportunities and peer-to-peer editorial constructive support.
Text Affects 2025
This year’s edition looks into the Future of Intelligence. What are the principles of human intelligence we cherish? What innovations in intelligent media should we pursue to support the different forms of human intelligence? Why and how is human intelligence different from artificial ones in addressing the challenges of today and the future?
