textualizing
Converting to words
Textualizing is the process of converting something into text form, whether that means putting spoken words into writing, rendering visual or experiential content as written description, or framing an idea within a textual framework.
The term appears most often in academic contexts, particularly in discussions of how cultures, performances, or oral traditions become fixed in written documents.
Anthropologists debated the problems of textualizing rituals that were never meant to be recorded.
