Lecture

INTERTEXTUALITY is...

A text's meaning is shaped by another text.

It is about the interrelationship between related works or similar works of literature that mirror and influence how the audience interpret the text.

It also refers to the author's borrowing and modification of a prior text or to a reader's referencing of one text in reading another.

Technically speaking, intertextuality is a combination of a Latin prefix Inter which means "between", "among", "in the midst of", "mutually", "together", and "reciprocally" and Textuality which refers to all attributes that determine the communicative content under analysis as an object of study. It is not a literary or rhetorical device, but rather a fact about literary texts - the fact that they are all intimately interconnected. This is applicable to all texts such as, works of philosophy, novels, films, newspaper articles, songs, and the like. In order to further understand intertextuality, it's important to understand the broad definition of the word "text" itself. Each text is greatly affected by all the texts that came before it, since those texts have influenced the author's thinking and exquisite choices. Remember that every text, on its broadest sense is intertextual.

Julia Kristeva was the inventor of the term "intertextuality." She was influenced by both Ferdinand de Saussure and Mikhail Bakhtinian through their models and attempts to combine their major theories toward the origin of language.

Types of Intertextuality

a. Deliberate Intertextuality forging a relationship between the old text and the new one.

b. Latent Intertextuality pertains to everything you've ever seen or read that sticks somewhere in your memory and affects your understanding of the world which contribute to building your specific worldview which, in turn, determines how you write or create art.

Intertextual Figures

Allusion - a figure of speech where an object from unrelated context is referred to covertly or indirectly with another. It is left to the audience to do or make the direct connection. Where the connection is directly and explicitly stated by the author, it is instead usually termed a reference.

Ex. You don't have to be William Shakespeare to write poetry. (William Shakespeare was used here to explain ones prowess in writing poetry.)

Quotation- is a written form of the oral echo. It can be in tagged and untagged form. It can also be direct and indirect.

Ex. According to violin player Itzhak Perlman, "The most important thing to do is really listen."

Calque - is a loanword from the French noun calque which means tracing; imitation; close copy. It means to borrow a word or phrase from another language while translating its components, so as to create a new lexeme in the target language.

Plagiarism - When using intertextuality, it is usually a small excerpt of a hypotext that assists in the understanding of the new hypertext's original themes, characters or contexts. While this does seem to include intertextuality, the intention and purpose of using of another's work, this is now what allows intertextuality to be excluded from this definition.

Translation-means to transfer in a stable meaning. It is the process of translating words or text from one language into another.

Pastiche- imitates the style or character of the work of one or more other artists.

Parody-any cultural practice which provides a relatively polemical or comical allusive imitation of another cultural production or practice

Short Story

Lily and the Glowing Forest

Once upon a time, in a little town surrounded by big hills, there was a girl named Lily. She was always happy and had shiny eyes like morning dew.

One sunny day, Lily decided to explore the woods. The trees talked to each other, and the air smelled like fresh pine. Deep in the woods, she found a hidden spot where fireflies lit up the night like stars.

Lily watched the fireflies twinkle, making the dark woods feel magical. It was like they were telling stories with their lights.

Suddenly, a voice spoke from the shadows. It was smooth and spooky, like a ghost. "Who's there?" it asked.

Lily stepped forward nervously and explained she meant no harm. She just wanted to enjoy the beauty of the woods.

A fox appeared, its red fur glowing in the darkness. It praised Lily's kindness and disappeared.

As Lily went back home, she felt warm inside. The memory of the fireflies stayed with her, giving her strength and comfort whenever she needed it. And from that day on, Lily knew that even in the darkest of times, there would always be a little light to guide her way.
