Narrative and Hypertext 2025

Workshop on narrative systems

To be held in conjunction with Hypertext 2025, Chicago

The Narrative and Hypertext workshop (NHT) aims to provide an interdisciplinary forum to bring together individuals from the humanities and technological communities to share work and discuss state-of-the-art research on narrative from both a technical and aesthetic perspective. This is the 11th iteration of one of the longest running and most successful workshop series at ACM Hypertext.

• Adaptive and Personalised Narratives
• Narrative Analysis
• Narrative Generation
• Social Media as Narrative
• Interactive Fiction
• Authorial support systems

• Interdisciplinary collaboration on narrative
• Interaction and Narrative
• Location-based Narratives

• Transmedia
• Mixed Reality Storytelling
• The experience of writing Hypertext
• Extended Reality Hypertext
• Ethics of Narrative Hypertext
• Mixed Reality Ethical Frameworks

Researchers and practitioners working with hypertext or narrative will be invited to attend this workshop. Participants will be asked to submit a short (between 3 and 7 pages CEUR format) position paper on their current work. Authors of papers selected for presentation will be informed 3 weeks after the submission deadline. All the position papers of participants will be made available on the workshop website initially and later (if possible) through the ACM Hypertext adjunct CEUR proceedings.

The planned event is a half day Hybrid workshop with sessions based around short presentations of the paper submissions from attendees, with emphasis on Q&A and discussion.
