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

Group Story

The Mysterious Treasure Map

Once upon a time, in hot sunny day (Thermal) of small town called Oakville, there lived a circle of friend of adventurous friends named Alex, Emma, and Max(Synecdoche). One sunny day, they stumbled upon an old, they heard a old news from their grandma (Oxymoron), dusty book in the attic of their grandmother's house. The book contained a mysterious, old, and dusty treasure map! (Visual)

Excitedly, the friends gathered around the map and started deciphering the clues. The first clue led them to the town's historic library. As they entered, they were greeted by the Queen of Books, Mrs. Jenkins (Euphemism), who had been waiting for them, “knock knock” the sound of the door (Auditory). One rainy, cold and gray day, Max says “wha a beautiful day”. (Irony)

"Welcome, young explorers!" Mrs. Jenkins said with a smile like a clown (Simile). "To find the next clue, you must solve a word hunt. Look for the following vocabulary words hidden in these book titles: adventure, quest, treasure, discovery, and mystery." but alex says “this book is boring” (understatement)

The friends eagerly scanned the shelves, searching for the hidden words. After a few minutes, they found all the books singing and dancing arranged them in the correct order (Personification). Mrs. Jenkins was impressed by their determination and handed them the next clue and Ms. Jenkins prepared a hot and spicy noodles with juicy hotdogs (gustatory)

The second clue took them to the town's park that smell like cotton candy, hotdog, and popcorn (Olfactory), where they had to complete a vocabulary challenge. They had to find objects in the park that matched the given vocabulary words: explore, ancient, valuable, uncover, and enigma. Each time they found an object, they had to use it in a sentence to demonstrate its meaning.

As the friends completed the challenge, they felt their vocabulary skills growing stronger. They thanked Mrs. Jenkins for her guidance and eagerly followed the next clue.

The third clue led them deep into the enlightenment forest (Metaphor), but they can't take it anymore so they need a arm (Metonomy) where they had to solve a riddle using vocabulary words. The riddle went like this: "I am a hidden treasure, buried in the ground, unearth me carefully, for I am quite profundity ancient markings and a gleam so bright, I hold the secrets of the past, shining in the light. What am I?"

After some brainstorming, the friends realized that the answer was an artifact. They dug in the indicated spot and found a small, ancient artifact that shimmered in the sunlight.

Excitedly, they returned to their grandmother's house, where they discovered a hidden compartment in the attic. Inside, they found a chest filled with gold coins, and smooth gems (Tactile) and a note that read, "Congratulations, brave adventurers! You have successfully completed the word hunt and found the treasure. Use your newfound vocabulary skills to continue exploring the world!"

The friends celebrated their victory and they eat many plates (Hyperbole), knowing that their vocabulary journey had just begun. They thanked each other for their teamwork and promised to embark on more exciting adventures together.

Poem

Change of my life

From the moment I open my eyes and a cold room - Thermal

When I cried, my mother found her bloom - Assonance

Looking into my beautiful almond shaped eyes and feeling my soft skin - Visual and Tactile

As the time will come,my world will spin

Time Will clock Tik! Tok! Tik! Tok! - Auditory

And my journey begins to rock and will be unlock - Consonance

From sack of tears and my baby giggles to grown up days - Hyperbole

And the trees dance and my paths twist in mysterious ways - Personification

The next few years will so quickly fly

With laughter and joy mixed with a few tears to cry - Allusion (As I watch you grow by Kay Theese)

Back then, I needed a hand like a traverel last in a foreign city - Simile, Metonymy/Symbolism

Now, I think I could be okay standing alone in a serenity - understatement

Challenging changes, carefully characterized my life - Alliteration

I used to let go of some things because I want to be alive - Euphemism

Before, I need a silent scream - oxymoron

So that my mom will give me fragrant arome and delicious sweet strawberry ice cream - Gustatory, Olfactory

Back then, I just sing Twinkle twinkle little star

Sing Twinkle twinkle little star - Repetition

Now, I used my wheels to make memories with my friends - Synecdoche

Through thick and thin, I hope our bonds won't bends

Happiness is medicine, a firefly that doesn't give light - Metaphor and Irony

As I've grown, life taught me how wrong can do it right

So, I will cherish every moment in my high or low

And my story of life will continuously flow
