  3. Defining Shape - When is a text? The question ‘when is a text’ immediately suggests an engagement with that which is deemed to be ‘not-text’, or that which is defined as outside or other to text at any given point. For example, many of the discussions about the constitution of the text take up conceptual questions of the relations between text and context or between text and commentary. (Lee 2005)
