Text as Artifact

"Text as artifact" refers to viewing written content—such as documents, books, or digital texts—as cultural artifacts that reflect the values, beliefs, and context of the time and people who created them. It considers texts not just for their information, but as objects that carry historical, social, and cultural significance. This perspective helps us understand how texts influence and are shaped by the society around them, making them valuable for studying history, culture, and human expression.
