I remember, occasionally, the additional layer of context called paratext. Paratext is the environment in which you’re reading the material: everything outside the text itself. It is the color of the walls of the room you’re in as you’re reading or absorbing something. It’s the weather of the day, it’s the temperature of the air you’re standing in. It’s the brightness of the screen you’re reading this on.
