Intertextuality refers to how a text is influenced by other texts through techniques like allusion, parody, quotation, and adaptation. It was coined by Julia Kristeva in 1960 and means "to intermingle while weaving." Intertextuality provides a richer reading experience by bringing new meanings and interpretations through connections to other works, and it questions ideas of authorship and originality while helping students create new texts.

Historical Perspectives on Authorship
Professor Renee Hobbs explores historical perspectives on authorship in a fully-online graduate seminar in digital authorship.
Literature and Intertextuality
1) The concept of intertextuality was originally developed by Julia Kristeva in the 1960s and refers to how texts reference and borrow from other texts.
2) Kristeva argued that readers approach new texts with preexisting knowledge and meanings from other texts they have consumed, shaping their interpretations.
3) Key proponents of intertextuality theory include Julia Kristeva, who coined the term, and M.H. Abrams, who defined it as the ways a text echoes or is linked to other texts through citations, allusions, assimilated features, or participation in common literary conventions.
Postmodernism
Postmodernism is difficult to define but can be characterized by six key concepts: the death of grand narratives like religion or philosophy that structured society, metafiction where works are self-reflexively aware of their status as texts, intertextuality where works reference other works rather than reality, hybridity as works incorporate different genres and styles, fragmentarism as narratives lack clear structure, and the dissolution of personal identity. Postmodernism emerged in the late 20th century after disillusionment from World War 2 and the 1960s, and is seen in cultural artifacts beyond just philosophy, including popular music videos.
Transtextuality and American Comic Strips
This document discusses concepts of transtextuality and metafiction. It defines transtextuality as the relations between texts, including intertextuality, paratextuality, metatextuality, hypertextuality, and architextuality. Genette identified five types of transtextual relations. The document then explores how transtextuality relates to and can be seen as a precursor to metafiction. Metafiction references both reality outside the text and the text itself as an artifact. Comic strips are discussed as an example where transtextuality and metafictional devices are used.
Narrative
Claude Levi-Strauss suggested that narratives are driven by binary opposites such as light/dark, good/evil, etc. and move towards equilibrium or resolution. Vladimir Propp studied Russian folk tales and identified a limited number of character types. Tzvetan Todorov identified most narratives follow a three-part structure of an initial equilibrium, a disturbance, and a final resolution or new equilibrium. Roland Barthes believed texts have denotations and connotations that can have open or closed meanings. Robert McKee developed a five-part narrative structure of an inciting incident, progressive complications, crisis, climax, and resolution.
Intertextuality & postmodernism
The document discusses intertextuality and postmodernism. Intertextuality refers to the relationships between texts or how creative works reference each other. Postmodernism emerged in the 1960s and challenges conventions and theories through self-conscious references to previous styles and genres. Examples are provided of how Lady Gaga's music videos contain intertextual references, such as shots that reference the film Chicago and Kill Bill, as well as imagery that references the Rolling Stones.

This document summarizes a research paper that examines the use of parenthetical expressions in Ahmadou Kourouma's novel "The Suns of Independence". The study identifies different types of parenthetical expressions used in the novel, such as those in parentheses, between commas, and between a comma and period. It analyzes examples of each type of parenthetical expression to understand their linguistic impact and contribution to meaning. The research finds that while parenthetical expressions are not essential to the meaning of the sentences they appear in, they provide important context and help interpret implied sociocultural meanings in the text.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher, writer, and philologist in the late 19th century whose work has profoundly influenced modern thought. He began his career as a classical philologist at a young age before turning to philosophy. His writing explored philosophical concepts like the Ubermensch and eternal return and critiqued religion, morality, and the "death of God." Nietzsche suffered mental breakdown in 1889 at age 44 and lived his remaining years in an unsound mental state until his death in 1900. His work addressed cultural and philosophical issues through aphorisms and was influential though also controversial.

Intertextuality
This document discusses theories of paratextuality and hypertextuality proposed by French theorist Gérard Genette. It explains that paratexts, such as titles, prefaces and dedications, help guide readers' reception and interpretation of a text. The document also discusses Michael Riffaterre's structuralist hermeneutic approach, which views literary texts as having meaning through their internal semiotic structures rather than external references. Riffaterre believes readers move from an initial mimetic reading to a deeper semiotic reading upon recognizing ungrammaticalities in the text. He proposes concepts like the hypogram and matrix to explain how texts transform sociolectic codes and conventions to generate unique significance. The document
Modernism
Modernism was a literary movement between 1915 and 1965 that rejected traditional forms and conventions. Modernist writers experimented with stream of consciousness writing and non-linear structures to challenge readers. They consciously warped traditional forms to create something new and rejected realism and naturalism. Modernist works often have a pervasive sense of doubt and darker themes as the writers challenged everything from point of view to the nature of the hero.
Barthe- An Introduction
Roland Barthes was a French literary theorist, philosopher, and semiotician born in 1915 who made influential contributions to structuralism, semiotics, and post-structuralism. He studied at the Sorbonne and spent his career developing the field of semiotics and exploring diverse fields through his ideas. Barthes believed language and discourse could be formalized but not become a strict science. He established his reputation in the 1960s and traveled internationally presenting his work until his death in a 1980 accident in Paris.
Narrative techniques in fiction
This document discusses various narrative techniques used in fiction, including point of view, characters, setting, plot, theme, and style. It describes the first person point of view where the narrator is involved in the story directly. The third person limited point of view sees events through the perception of one or two characters. An omniscient narrator knows everything. Other techniques covered include a series of letters, diary, interior monologue, dialogue/conversation, and the use of flashbacks or flashforwards. Narrative is described as a primary tool in fiction.
Allegory and allusion
This document discusses the literary elements of allegory and allusion. It defines allegory as a story that can be read symbolically to convey a deeper meaning. Allegory provides two meanings to a poem - a surface meaning and a symbolic meaning that conveys the true message. Allusion is defined as a reference to something assumed to be known, like historical events or other works of literature. The main function of allusion is to use references that readers will understand to portray complex concepts simply.

Review of A Map of Misreading
1. This book review summarizes Harold Bloom's 1975 book "A Map of Misreading" which expands on his theory of poetic influence outlined in "The Anxiety of Influence". Bloom argues that poetry is defined by intertextual relationships between texts, with newer poets struggling to differentiate themselves from their precursors through creative misreadings.
2. Bloom outlines six "revisionary ratios" - forms of creative misreading like irony and synecdoche - that represent psychic defenses used by poets to work through their anxiety of influence. He maps how these ratios can be applied in readings of individual poems.
3. Bloom draws on the Kabbalistic concept of divine creation to present a model of poetic creation defined by

Robert Musil's other postmodernism, by M. Freed
This document provides an analysis of Robert Musil's engagement with philosophical modernism through his novel Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften and his concept of "Essayismus". The author argues that Musil critiques philosophical modernism's tendency toward subject-centered reason and certainty, and develops Essayismus as a discursive alternative that reimagines modernity without relying on the self-privileging of modern philosophy. Positioning Musil within debates about postmodernism, the author contends that Musil's work points to a nonmodern postmodernism distinct from typical postmodern critiques that aim to overcome or destabilize philosophical modernism.
Fundamentals of Literature: Fiction ppt

A CRITICAL APPRAISAL OF THE DECONSTRUCTION THEORY
Deconstruction theory argues that texts do not have single, fixed meanings. Rather, meanings are produced through the interaction between reader and text. The theory emphasizes exploring new interpretations of texts and understanding how language and ideologies shape interpretations. Key concepts of deconstruction include the idea that meanings are hidden and must be uncovered through close reading, and that authors do not have autonomous control over the meanings of their works. Deconstruction aims to reveal multiple meanings in texts and how reader perspectives impact what is interpreted.
NEW CRITICISM AND CULTURAL MATERIALISM.pptx
The document discusses New Criticism, a formalist literary theory movement from the mid-20th century. New Criticism emphasized close reading of texts to discover how they functioned as self-contained aesthetic objects, independent of authorial intent or reader interpretation. Key concepts of New Criticism included the intentional and affective fallacies, ambiguity, irony, paradox, and tension within a text. New Criticism formulated a method of close reading to uncover a text's meaning through examining elements like speakers, audience, setting, and central metaphors.
Introduction to Prose.pptx
The document defines and describes different types of prose. Prose is straightforward writing that differs from poetry in its lack of consistent structure like meter and rhyme. There are three main varieties of prose: descriptive writing depicts things as they are seen; narrative prose describes events; and expository prose involves definition, explanation or interpretation of topics. Some common forms of prose discussed include novels, short stories, essays, biographies, and autobiographies. Novels are long fictional narratives published as books, while short stories are complete works with intensity and a singular focus. Essays attempt to shed light on a topic, biographies tell the life of an individual, and autobiographies reveal selected experiences from the writer's own life.
Metafiction in Coetzee's Foe
This document provides an overview of metafiction in J.M. Coetzee's novel Foe. It defines metafiction as fiction that is self-referential and self-conscious of its own constructed nature. It discusses different types of metafiction used in Foe, including historiographic metafiction and situational metafiction. Techniques like self-referentiality, intertextuality, mise-en-abyme, digression, and the use of authorial alter-egos are analyzed. The document concludes that Foe is a multilayered metafictional novel that both references and adapts the works of Daniel Defoe.
9.-INTERTEXTUALITY.pptx
Intertextuality refers to how texts gain meaning through references or evocations of other texts. It involves incorporating elements of prior texts into new works through allusions, quotations, translations, pastiches, parodies, and other intertextual figures. An example is a writer borrowing and transforming an aspect of a previous text. The concept of intertextuality was introduced by Julia Kristeva in the 1960s and reflects the idea that all texts absorb and transform influences from other texts.

Post structuralism for slide
This document provides an overview of post-structuralism. It discusses how post-structuralism emerged in the 1960s and focuses on how language shapes thought and reality rather than serving as a transparent medium of communication. It discusses some key writers of post-structuralism like Roland Barthes, Jacques Lacan, Julia Kristeva and Michel Foucault. Some of the main ideas discussed are that the meaning of a text is interpreted by the reader rather than defined by the author, and that meaning is multifaceted rather than singular. It also discusses how post-structuralism views language and discourse as historically constructed rather than stable or universal.
Literary theories reader oriented
This document discusses the shift in literary theory from objective to subjective approaches. It outlines how 19th century scientific objectivism gave way to recognition that perception involves subjectivity. Gestalt psychology showed objects look different in different contexts. Reader response theory emerged, arguing readers actively interpret works based on their own experiences and contexts. Theorists discussed include Iser, Jauss, Fish and others who see meaning as constructed in the reading process rather than inherent in the text. Advantages of this approach include recognizing varied interpretations, while disadvantages include lack of criteria to evaluate interpretations.

Post-structuralism emerged as a critical response to structuralism in 20th century French philosophy. It rejects the idea that meaning is fixed or that a text has a single, definable purpose. Post-structuralism emphasizes that meaning is dependent on the reader's own context and experiences. It views identity as complex and shifting rather than singular, and seeks to deconstruct assumptions and power structures through analyzing how meaning changes based on perspectives. The goal is a multifaceted interpretation of texts through considering many variables like culture, identity and knowledge systems.

Unit III Postmodernism
This document provides an overview of postmodernism and related concepts. It defines postmodernity as a historical period beginning in the 1960s, and postmodernism as both a style in culture and thought. Postmodernism emerged from modernism and is characterized by deconstructing concepts like truth, language, history and reality. A key aspect is metafiction, which draws attention to itself as an artifact and examines the relationship between fiction and reality. Historiographic metafiction further blurs the lines between fiction and history.

This document provides an agenda and information about applying New Criticism techniques to analyze literature. It begins with an agenda for the class that includes a lecture on New Criticism and a discussion of applying it to The Great Gatsby. It then provides an overview of New Criticism, describing it as a formalist approach that focuses only on elements within the text itself and aims to find a single, unified interpretation. Key aspects of New Criticism discussed include its use of paradox, irony, ambiguity, and tension to create complex meanings. Examples are given of each technique. The document concludes with typical questions New Critics ask themselves when analyzing a text and instructs students to read about Feminist Criticism for the next class.
Literary theory an-overview
Literary theory provides tools and principles for understanding literature. It examines the relationship between authors and their works, and how elements like gender, class, and history influence interpretation. Literary theory also considers genre evolution and formal literary structures. Recent theory explores how culture shapes texts more than individual authors, and how texts shape culture in turn. Literary theory draws from fields like linguistics, philosophy, and psychology to become an interdisciplinary study of culture through texts. Different theories rise and fall in popularity within literary studies.
LITERARY-CRITICISM.pptx
Literature studies provide several cultural, personal, and intellectual benefits. Reading literature can help with cultural understanding, emotional growth, personal development, language skills, critical thinking, and entertainment. Studying literature also develops analytical, interpretive, and creative abilities. Literary criticism aims to understand meaning, structure, style, and context of literary works. It benefits appreciation and understanding of works and author intentions. Literary discussion is casual conversation about a work while analysis is a structured examination and interpretation provides deep meaning explanation. Literature has developed over periods and movements characterized by themes like classicism, humanism, reason, emotion, realism, and experimentation.
Intertextuality
The document discusses intertextuality, which refers to how texts derive meaning from other texts through allusions, borrowing, and transformations. It provides examples of intertextuality in TV shows like The Simpsons through references to other media. Intertextuality in The Simpsons includes references to classic films. Examples are also given of intertextuality in music videos, which often reference famous movies or other music videos through borrowing imagery and themes.

- 1. INTERTEXTUALITY Intertextuality is coined in 1960 by French Literary Theorist Julia Kristeva. The term “intertexto” which means “to intermingle while weaving” came from Kristeva herself. Intertextuality is a text/literary piece meaning that is being influenced by another text or literary piece. TYPES OF INTERTEXTUALITY 1. Allusion - actually a figure of speech - it is an indirect reference on something or someone from a classic or famous literature) 2. Parody - when one piece or writing uses many of the same elements of another but does it in a new and funny way o it is mimicking to comment 3. Quotation - direct reference to another text - quotation is as simple as quoting famous lines from famous characters from previous stories 4. Adaptation - a recreation of a piece - it is somehow free to deviate from the original piece’s details, it must stick to the original storyline Intertextuality is important because of the following: 1. It leads readers to a much richer experience in reading. 2. It provides new interpretations as it brings into the text another meaning, concept or story. 3. It shows the connection and the continuity of texts and of cultures. 4. It also allows us to recall earlier texts to gain new insights and meanings relevant to the present time. 5. It also raises questions concerning the nature of authorship and originality. 6. It can also help students to make their own texts from the knowledge of others and referencing other texts. 7. It shows how a similar idea can be expressed through different cultural practices.
