	Katica Kulavkova - Theory: Intertextual Options and Modifications (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Thirdly, on the level of stylistic procedure, “the aim of the modernist establishment of intertextual relations is to enrich the new text with meaning, whereas the aim of the postmodernist establishment of these relations is to relate the new text to already existing meaning:.
		Intertextuality means a conscious communication between at least two texts and two textualities, between one text and one context.
		Intertextuality is modified through history but what remains unchanged is a thread which bears witness that the literary process is dialogical and that every authentic text is a part of a wider linguistic, cultural and historical order.

	Intertextuality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For Kristeva (66), “the notion of intertextuality replaces the notion of intersubjectivity” when we realize that meaning is not transferred directly from writer to reader but instead is mediated through, or filtered by, “codes” imparted to the writer and reader by other texts.
		While the theoretical concept of intertextuality is associated with post-modernism, the device itself is not new.
		In these cases, intertextuality is often used to provide depth to the fictional reality portrayed in the medium, such as characters in one television show mentioning characters from another.

	Intertextuality and Dialogue
		The study of intertextuality is thus not the investigation of sources and influences as traditionally conceived; it casts its net wider to include anonymous discursive practices, codes whose origins are lost, that make possible the signifying practices of later texts.
		Intertextuality is the general discursive space that makes a text intelligible.
		The notion of intertextuality replaces that of intersubjectivity, and poetic language is read as at least double.

	Intertextuality, the hermeneutics of "other," and Mark 16:6-7: a new but not new challenge for biblical interpreters. - ...
		Reclaiming and redefining intertextuality in biblical interpretation with an appreciation for a hermeneutics of "other" can be helpful, especially an explicit and systematic "intertextual" conversation with the voices of the cultural "other" and the biblical text.
		Intertextuality is a neologism credited to Julia Kristeva, who recognized the influence of different "texts" on writing, reading and interpretation of literature (O'Day 1990: 259).
		Intertextuality, with its focus on the literary text and its semiotic and symbolic aspects, offered biblical scholars an alternative to the more conventional diachronic, or historical-critical approaches that dominated biblical interpretation throughout the twentieth century (Joy et al.: 84-85).

	Semiotics for Beginners: Intertextuality (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		But intertextuality is also reflected in the fluidity of genre boundaries and in the blurring of genres and their functions which is reflected in such recent coinages as 'advertorials', 'infomercials', 'edutainment', 'docudrama' and 'faction' (a blend of 'fact' and 'fiction').
		Intertextuality does not seem to be simply a continuum on a single dimension and there does not seem to be a consensus about what dimensions we should be looking for.
		Intertextuality is not a feature of the text alone but of the 'contract' which reading it forges between its author(s) and reader(s).

	Graham Swift, Ever After: a study in intertextuality
		Intertextuality generates tensions and excitement, even if the reader finds himself unable to solve all the intertextual riddles which are put to him.
		Intertextuality is therefore second nature to the literary discourse as such (especially if taken literally: the 'running to and fro' designated by 'discourse' already refers to the [inter-]textual movements).
		Intertextuality, which aims at a clash of texts, is symptomatic of the wish for a 'dire total', for a covering of the gaps between signs (texts) and meanings.

	[No title]
		Kristeva speaks lucidly about her well-known notion of intertextuality, expressing her intellectual debt to Bakhtin's notion of dialogism while emphasizing that the intersection of voices surrounding an utterance concerns not only the semantic field but the syntactic and phonic fields.
		She introduces a psychoanalytic element into the notion of intertextuality by suggesting that the intertextuality of the creator and the reader make them "subject-in-process" whose psychic identity is put into question.
		Intertextuality is perhaps the most global concept possible for signifying the modern experience of writing, including the classic genres, poetic and novelistic.

	INTERTEXTUALITY AS INTERTEXT AND BOURGEOIS PROJECT
		There is no doubt that Sartrean totalization is a parallel concept with intertextuality in the sense that it solves the same problem and allows the public and private, the individual subject and the culturo-linguistic subject to exist within the same physiology and express itself.
		We find, in fact, that intertextuality was discovered in the late fifties or early sixties by the Argentine--Jorge Luis Borges and described in the story "Pierre Menard, Author of Don Quixote." It might be maintained that he discovered deconstruction at the same time.
		Intertextualism as a common-sense and enthusiastic methodology probably does not escape the western logos; I don't think anybody ever thought we could and most of us never wanted to.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Intertextuality
		Intertextuality is therefore a very useful concept – indeed some would say essential for literary study, as it concerns the study of cultural sign systems generally.
		Intertextuality is, in a sense, at this stage of its history, impossibly freighted with meanings and uses; the intertextual networks and chains of significance set going by the concept intertextuality are now almost impossible to contain, cover and summarize.
		Intertextuality should not be, but frequently is, used to refer to the intentional allusion (overt or covert) to, citation or quotation of previous texts in literary texts.

	Amardeep Singh: "Intertextuality" is under attack
		The intertextual reader/interpreter then is free and unfettered in tracing the relations between texts; there is no authorial intention to defer to, since the will of the author is not capable of fixing meaning.
		Given the problems with theories of intertextuality, the use of the term intertextuality is dubious, as it implies that language and texts operate independently of human agency.
		And so intertextuality is a term that should be shaved off by "Dutton's Razor," the principle that jargon that does not illuminate or elucidate but rather mystifies and obscures should be stricken from the lexicon of sincere and intelligent humanists.

	Intertextuality and Media
		In contemporary media scholarship, the concept of intertextuality is used to describe both an interpretive practice of audiences and a stylistic device consciously employed by producers of media.
		Far from being a consequence of the death of the author (as the first version would suggest), intertextuality is an identifiable stylistic device consciously employed by the author, or in the case of media texts by the producer, to invite a particular audience response.
		“Intertextual cinema,” he writes, “is reserved in the present study for films and the work of cineasts that exhibit conscious, marked, or dominant uses of intertextuality.

	Trapped in language: aspects of ambiguity and intertextuality in selected poetry and prose by Sylvia Plath - Critical ...
		Through intertextual links, both with different cultural and literary contexts and within the canon of her own work, Plath establishes the kind of lexical ambiguity that, according to Su, "occurs when two or more distinct meanings or readings are tenable in a given context, rendering choice between the alternatives an uncertain one" (55).
		Intertextuality allows Plath to direct the readers' interpretation according to an overall aesthetic an d thematic effect.
		Nevertheless, because intertextuality is so clearly bound up with ambiguity, when Plath asserts authorial dominance through intertextuality, she reveals that this strategy is not without dangers: her intertextual nets, by creating a multitude of possible references, diversify the expectations and interpretations of her readers in a way that may be contrary to her own intentions.

	Nicholas J. Fox: Intertextuality and the Writing of Social Research
		Intertextuality is the process whereby one text[1] plays upon other texts, the ways in which texts refer endlessly to further elements within the realm of cultural production (Barthes, 1977).
		I shall argue that intertextuality is a means to demonstrate the limits of discourse, but also, significantly, a stratagem by which it becomes possible to challenge and resist discourse - to open up the possibilities of becoming other (Bogue, 1989; Curt, 1994).
		Intertextual approaches break the distinction between researcher and researched, in as much as the researcher becomes part of the social which is being explored.

	intertextuality
		For example, the phrase ‘nautical but nice' is a piece of intertextuality, in that it is a variation of an older slogan 'naughty but nice', originally used to describe cream cakes (and reputedly invented by Salman Rushdie).
		Intertextuality can be an important component of an advert's meaning, in that the original text being referred to established a message which the second text can then use and elaborate on.
		Intertextuality is no observer of boundaries: it doesn't have to involve a particular slogan for a specific product.

	Language and Intertextuality
		Intertextuality moves beyond the language network to that of discourse, and focuses on how different discourses are referred to within a text, as internal rather than external influences.
		The intertextual network can function in many different ways: as a shared universe of story or mythology (as in the ancient Greek oral bards [Bolter, 106] or contemporary fan fiction); as a theoretical approach (reading texts from a perspective based in Freud or Marx); or as an aesthetic ideology (the Romantics, the Surrealists, the Neoclassicists).
		The diversity of these ways of reading and writing, and their flexibility, demonstrate that, while intertextuality is founded on the text, it is not a static quality of it, but rather is dependent upon the act of interpretation.

	4 Text typology
		Intertextuality as a standard of textuality concerns "the ways in which the production and reception of a given text depend upon the participants' knowledge of other texts" (de Beaugrande and Dressler 1981:182).
		According to Bell (1991:170-171) intertextuality refers to "the relationship between a particular text and other texts which share characteristics with it; the factors which allow text-processors to recognise, in a new text, features of other texts they have encountered".
		Intertextuality is based on what the text user, not the analyst, expects to see in the text.

	Intertextuality (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		intertextuality implies that meaning is brought to a cultural object by its audience and does not intrinsically reside in the object.
		Roland Barthes, the word 'intertextuality' points to the concept that the meaning of an artistic work does not reside in that work, but in the viewers.
		Julia Kristeva, 'intertextuality' is used to suggest the interdependence of texts, the continual deferment of meaning through and between texts.

	Intertextuality in political debates
		I focus particularly on the phenomenon of intertextual reference, which is the relation of one text, in this case the text of the debate, to other texts.
		The four dimensions for analysis of intertextual reference that are important to this analysis include repetition of previously presented information, representation and interpretation of other people's words, mentioning another text to criticize or to reject it, and making presuppositions, defined as introducing information as though it were previously presented.
		The third type of intertextual reference is the candidates' mention of their own agenda, which has been outlined in other speeches, written in campaign literature, and presented as press releases during the months preceding the debate.

		Thus, ::intertextuality:: is defined here as the recognition of the relation of a focus text among other text(s), the reading of which is based on individual experience of prior texts and knowledge of their cultural signification.
		A more direct definition of intertextuality highlights this text/reader relationship: "intertextuality is not a feature of the text alone, but of the 'contract' which reading it forges between its author(s) and reader(s)," [Chandler 2002:204].
		"Intertextuality is the recognition of a frame, a context that allows the reader to make sense out of what he or she might otherwise perceive as senseless," [Orr 2003:11].

	Intertextuality Revisited: Dialogues and Negotiations in Media Studies
		Reflecting on the use of intertextuality in the context of media analysis, I shall argue that there are essentially four areas of research of Bakhtinian inspiration that can be usefully mobilized in media studies: 1) concepts of dialogue; 2) the functions and development of genres; 3) chronotopes; and 4) the carnival.
		I would suggest, rather, that intertextuality should be used in a less ambiguous way as a concept that indicates that various dialogues and negotiations are going on between texts and authors, within and between genres, and between different systems of representation and narrative.
		The kind of intertextuality that emerges through constant exposure in any culture to foreign texts is, I believe, best analyzed in terms of Lotman's ideas of cultural transfer, since they highlight the questions of national identity and intercultural exchange that are so crucial in the context of contemporary society.

	Intertextuality as a Tool for Information Distribution
		Intertextuality, through creation of non-traditional texts as a foil to such structural violence, suggesting an academy role in educating for public discourse.
		By treating student texts as texts for intertextuality, we grant them social distance from the routine completion of "ritual assignments," and make a number of acceptable interpretations available to all students.
		In addition, an emphasis on intertextuality takes away the false sanctity of publication and makes students realize that they are responsible for evaluating authority, not for memorizing a given authority's answers.

	Boyarin's "Intertextuality and Midrash"
		Finally, the main argument of Boyarin's book is that the ambiguity of the texts is "sufficient motivation" for midrash; that the gapped quality of the text, combined with cocitation, is enough to account for midrash; one need not have recourse to a theory which sees midrash as polemical or ideological (22, 39, 45).
		Put differently, the polyphonic character of the text permits differing intertextual readings; the choice of reading is a function of the interpretive possibilities and not of ideological commitment.
		Having established intertextuality as one of two primary motivating forces in midrash, rabbinic ideology being the other, we still need to ask: what is the relationship between ideology and intertextuality in the midrashic process?

		The intriguing difference between the positions of Sebeok and Uhlig -- for those who study the evolution of literary forms in their relations with cultural value systems, that is, with ideology -- is that Sebeok assumes an absolutist view of history and Uhlig sustains a relational concept of history.
		Many of his poems are richly and complexly intertextual and parodic (in Hutcheon's sense of the term).
