The ACM Hypertext conference is a premium venue for high quality 
peer-reviewed research on hypertext theory, systems, applications, 
publishing, artwork and related practices. It is concerned with all 
aspects of modern hypertext research including social and intelligent 
media, narrative systems and applications, authoring, reading and 
publishing hypertext, workflows and infrastructures as well as 
reflections and approaches.

All accepted contributions will be published by ACM and will be 
available in the Proceedings via the ACM Digital Library. Selected 
contributions will be invited to submit an expanded version after the 
conference to a special issue of the New Review of Hypermedia and 
Multimedia.

Submissions are welcome in the following tracks:

Interactive Media: Art and Design

Track chair Dr Sam Brooker (Richmond American University London, UK)

This track is dedicated to papers that explore creative expression 
through digital technology. Submissions may showcase new approaches to – 
or applications of – interactive media technology for creative 
expression, or evaluate existing work from a new perspective. Hybrid 
presentations that mix theory and practice are welcome, though work 
should be rooted in hypertext as method or approach.

Topics include but not limited to:

•             Demonstrations: Live exhibition or exploration of a new or 
existing creative work.

•             Critical analysis: Reflection on or discussion of 
pre-existing works or theoretical approaches.

•             Traversals: Demonstrations performed on historically 
appropriate platforms, with participation and commentary by the authors 
of the works.

•             Interdisciplinary creative work: Evaluation or 
demonstration of creative work that crosses disciplinary boundaries

Authoring, Reading, Publishing

Track chair Dr Leah Henrickson (University of Leeds, UK)

This track is dedicated to exploring how hypertext has transformed 
authoring, reading, and publishing by disrupting, subverting, or 
complementing book and media culture and practice. Submissions may focus 
on specific case studies or theories of new emerging practices, 
rhetorical analyses, or methodological reflections that take inspiration 
from fields such as book history, digital humanities and/or media studies.

Topics include, but not limited to:

•             Authorship: Contextualising the production of hypertexts.

•             Book history: Historically-informed frameworks, theories, 
and concepts for understanding hypertextual production, dissemination, 
and reception.

•             Digital scholarly editions and adaptations: Hypertextual 
representations and reconceptualisations of extant texts.

•             Digital storytelling and electronic literature: How 
hypertexts are used to communicate ideas and facilitate alternative 
textual experiences.

•             Reading practices and reader response: How hypertexts are 
read (or not read) and interpreted.

•             Rhetorics and poetics: How hypertexts are framed in 
popular and scholarly discourse, as well as theoretical considerations 
on forms of expression supported by hypertextual formats.

•             Text, paratext, and multimodality: Manifestations and 
effects of digital forms of intra- and intertextual connectivity.,

Workflows and Infrastructures

Track chair Dr Davide Picca (Université de Lausanne, CH)

This track is dedicated to hypertext systems and their professional 
applications to the GLAM field  in order to facilitate access to 
cultural knowledge. The main purpose is to illustrate through the 
different contributions to the track, how STEM disciplines can help and 
support the preservation and dissemination of tangible and intangible 
cultural resources. This track welcomes contributions that present 
real-world applications of hypertext systems, with a focus on the 
benefits, challenges, and gaps that emerge from daily practice in fields 
of study such as (but not limited to) Digital Museology, Intangible 
Cultural Heritage applications and NLP approaches to cultural resources.

Topics include, but not limited to:

•             Semantic knowledge: How formal ontologies and formal 
modelling can contribute to organise cultural knowledge

•             GLAM applications: Pipelines and digital curations for 
restoration and preservation of cultural artefacts

•             Digital Museology: Innovations, trends as well as 
practical challenges encountered  in the fields of museology

•             Intangible Cultural Heritage applications: How Big Data 
workflows and digital transformation methods can be applied to cultural 
objects

•             NLP approaches to cultural resources: Computational 
semantics and pragmatics, machine translation and multilingual NLP for 
cultural objects

Social and Intelligent Media

Track chair Dr Grégoire Burel (Knowledge Media Institute, UK)

The social and intelligent media track is dedicated to the understanding 
and modelling of sociotechnical systems and their role in shaping 
communication and information access, both virtually and offline. 
Submissions should consider any online systems that include socially and 
AI-mediated information such as social networks, recommender systems, 
online publication tools and discussion platforms. As the focus of this 
year conference is “Humanity within”, authors are encouraged to submit 
interdisciplinary articles centred around the impact of social media and 
AI on how hyperlinked content is accessed and consumed and its impact on 
Humanity. This track welcomes submissions that further the understanding 
of the technical inworkings of digital communities and their societal 
impact, as well as novel methods and algorithms that shape online 
communication, content creation and socially-mediated information access.

Topics include, but not limited to:

•             Privacy and Anonymity in Social Media – The way social 
media protect and/or blur the lines between the real and virtual world.

•             Inclusiveness of Social Media – The role of social media 
in including minorities, disabilities and minoritised communities.

•             Diversity and Representativeness of Social Media – The way 
social media favour (or not) content diversity and its 
representativeness as well as the involvement of individuals (e.g., echo 
chambers, content moderation).

•             Immersive Social Media (e.g., metaverse) – The development 
and impact of new interaction paradigms on real-world interactions and 
online communication.

•             Network Effects in Social Media – The impact of social and 
hyperlink ties on content access and distribution e.g., information 
access, ranking, misinformation and bot networks).

•             Social Media Algorithms – The structure, development, 
design, and analysis of social media platforms and algorithms.

Reflections and Approaches

Track chair Dr Mariusz Pisarski (University of Information Technology 
and Management in Rzeszow, PL)

This track considers how hypertext has transformed society and its 
tools: new perspectives, future directions, and ongoing transformations 
that challenge our assumptions about hypertext. This track welcomes 
submissions focused on (but not limited to) critical reflection on the 
evolution of hypertext systems, paradigms for new hypertext 
applications, as well as theories for understanding and navigating the 
complexity of digital communities enabled by hypertext design and systems.

Topics include, but not limited to:

•             Histories of hypertext: hypertext systems in critical 
discourse, technology discourse and in the arts community.

•             Histories of social media: how the pioneering formulas of 
early systems – such as BBS, MUD and email discussion groups –  evolved 
to modern social media.

•             Designs, paradigms and theories: evolution of hypertext in 
scholarly and artistic practice

•             Self-reflectivity of systems: historical impact of one 
hypertext system upon another; remediations, migrations and borrowings 
of features in contemporary writing/reading platforms

•             Visual histories and meta-histories of social media and 
hypertext: hypertext and social media communities and ideas in visual 
and big-data analysis.
