In the previous module, you have learned the definition and basic types of
intertextuality. To understand it better, this module will provide you examples of
drama where intertextuality was used
Objectives:
1. Enumerate examples of Allusion, Appropriation, Parody, Quotation and
Adaptation;
2. Identify the type of intertextuality used in a text; and
3. Apply any type of intertextuality in a chosen Filipino Drama.
INTERTEXTUALITY is the way that one text influences another. This can be a
direct borrowing such as a quotation, or slightly more indirect such as parody,
allusion, or translation
It’s time again to add new words in your word bank.
Direction: Decode the jumbled letters by using the clues in the message box.
Write your response below each box.

8. Let’s have a quick look back about Intertextuality. It was first introduced by Julia
Kristeva in the late 1960s. It means that a literary work is not simply the product
of a single author, but of his/her relationship to other texts (both written and
spoken), and to the structure of language itself.
There are different types of intertextuality. These are the following:
Appropriation
Allusion
Parody
Quotation
Adaptation
To give you a clearer idea about these types, here are some examples of well-
known novels, movies, and plays around the world.
1. Appropriation is where a text is adapted from the original text
a. The image on the left is the novel called Emma written by Jane Austen. It
was reimagined into a film starring Gwyneth Paltrow entitled Emma. This
is a true retelling of Emma story and this was then adapted into the film
Clueless. What they've done here is they have taken the general plot or
the ideas and some of the characters and brought that into a different
context they played with a plot a lot and have created quite an original
story. That technique is called appropriation.
www.shsph.blogspot.com
9. b. One of William Shakespeare’s plays is The Taming of the Shrew which
was also adapted into film and was entitled 10 Things I Hate About You.
The setting of the story is in modern time, which makes it different from the
original story.
2. Allusion is where you allude to something so it's referenced to another text
so not only can it be a reference to a text but it can also be a person a place
or an event
T.S Eliot mentions a celestial rose in his poem Hollow Men’, this rose
comes from Dante’s Paradiso. This is an allusion because he did not
mention the composer.
3. Parody is a funny interpretation of a text. Its main purpose is to entertain
the reader.
An example of this is the `The theory and Practice of Oligarchical
Collectivism’, which is a humorous imitation of the Communist
Revolutionalist’s, Leon Trotsky’s writing.
4. Quotation: - A direct reference to another text with acknowledgement
of its composer
For example, In Margaret Atwood’s speech, Spotty Handed Villainesses,
she quotes Dame Rebecca West, saying, “Ladies of Great Britain…we have not
enough evil in us”
5. Adaptation A film, TV Drama, or stage play that is based on a written
work. Unlike in appropriation, this doesn’t include twist or great deal of changes
that will affect the plot of the original story.
JK Rowling’s Harry Potter series has a film adaptation
www.shsph.blogspot.com
10. Mind map diagrams are used to outline information in a
visual and often colourful way. All you do is place a single word or phrase in
the centre of a sheet of paper and add associated ideas, words and concepts
radiating out from the centre, often with connecting links.
Directions: Make a mind map about types of intertextuality and its examples. On
the first blank, write the type of intertextuality and on the second, write its
example. You can freely cite stories that are close to your heart or built from your
interests like 21st century literature. You may use any genre. You can use the
template below or make your own design.

11. Sometimes people say that they don’t want to read other novels in their genre,
because they don’t want to be influenced by them. Unfortunately, this often
means that they inadvertently write something that’s already been done or that
completely fails to match the expectations that readers have when they buy a
book in this genre and the next thing they know, they’re influenced by the ideas,
characters and whole structure of the story they’ve read.
It’s time to unfold the types intertextuality used in some famous writings.
Direction: Identify the type of intertextuality used in the following texts. Write your
answer on the space provided before each item.
__________________1. Martin Luther King’s writing was heavily influenced by the
work of Mohandas Gandhi, especially in the area of nonviolent resistance.
__________________2. The various chapters in Joyce’s novel correspond to the
adventures of Odysseus in Homer’s epic poem
__________________3. The Legend of Bagger Vance, which was adapted into a
movie starring Will Smith, was originally written as a re-telling of the Hindu epic
Bhagavad Gita.
__________________4. To Kill a Mockingbird is a 1962 American
drama film directed by Robert Mulligan was adapted from the novel with same
title.

12. Remake-or-Break-Me Challenge
For this activity, you will be working in groups of 5. Since we are living in the new
normal setting where face-to-face interaction is prohibited, virtual conference
for video recording is highly suggested. Each person in the group should have
an individual task to complete.
Follow these steps:
1. Select any type of intertextuality technique that you either really liked or
struggle with but are now more confident with.
2. Have each person in the group select his/her role (Director, Researcher,
Script writer, video editor, etc.). All members need to play a character.
3. Select any Filipino drama and apply your selected technique. Write out
step by step process in order to recreate a scene from it.
4. Write out a script for your video presentation that describes all required
information or steps.
5. Determine what type of device and apps you will use to record your
presentation.
6. Rehearse your script multiple times.
7. Use your creativity to determine what type of video you will create. Don’t
be afraid to use your imagination.
Video must not exceed 3 minutes in length. Present your video recording next
meeting for teacher and peer evaluation.
The systems, codes and traditions of other art forms and of culture in general are
also crucial to the meaning of a work of literature. Texts, whether they be literary
or non-literary, are viewed by modern theorists as lacking in any kind of
independent meaning. They are what theorists now call intertextual. The act of
reading, theorists claim, plunges us into a network of textual relations. To interpret
a text, to discover its meaning, or meanings, is to trace those relations. Reading
thus becomes a process of moving between texts. Meaning becomes
something which exists between a text and all the other texts to which it refers
and relates, moving out from the independent text into a network of textual
relations. The text becomes the intertext.
You have just earned the magical pen. Learner, as your mighty guide, I am
proud of you for reaching this far. Congratulations!
