Lesson
1 Intertextuality
Let Us Study
What is intertextuality?
Origin
The main idea of contemporary literary and cultural theory,
intertextuality, has its origins in 20 th _ century linguistics, specifically in
Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure (1857-1913). The term itself was
coined by the Bulgarian-French philosopher and psychoanalyst Julia
Kristeva in the 1960s.
Kristeva proposed a new dimension on reading texts beyond the author
and the reader’s assignment of meanings. Instead, could generate meanings
from collating of other readings and materials to the text being read. It is then
the reader makes sense of all these that intertextuality happens.
4
Try to go over the succeeding texts and learn how intertextuality was
utilized. You are familiar with most of these examples.
1. Intertextuality in Film
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S.Lewis.In this fantasy
novel for children, C.S Lewis adapts Jesus Christ’s crucifixion and
resurrection. His clever judgment weaves together biblical principles and
religion portrayed in a manner that children could relate with. The film
has cinematically presented the use of significant events in The New
Testament of the Holy Bible and transformed them into a story of hope
and redemption. Lewis uses of Edmund’s character, one who betrayed his
savior to suffer, in the character of Aslan. It introduces viewers to
interwoven themes and exhibited motives by characters such as freedom
of man, the reality of evil, losing innocence, and redemption.

3. Intertextuality in Advertising
6
author and reader have a common understanding of the alluded reference.
In this manner, the referent as intended by the author is recognizable to
the reader.
In contrast, a parody imitates of a writer or group of writers’ style in a
satirical or comical manner. Allusion and parody, among other tools, could
be used as a reference in producing texts. Daniel Chandler says, “Every
reading is a writing.” This means that intertextuality combines your ability
to relate the read text with its context, uncover its sub-context, and create
a revised text as a new output. Thus, it is good to ask the following
questions while reading and in preparing for writing.
Allusion Examples:
https://www.pinterest.ph
“That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles, And my daddy
said stay away from Juliet, And I was crying on the staircase Begging you,
please don't go.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romeo_and_Juliet#/media/File:Romeo_and_juliet_brown.jpg
3.'Christy didn't like to spend money. She was no Scrooge, but she seldom
purchased anything except the bare necessities'.
7
This is a popular allusion to
Scrooge, the famous penny-pinching
character of Charles Dickens'
classic A Christmas Carol.

How you employ another text in your work depends on what you want
to do with it. Do you want to pay homage to a great author like Homer or
Shakespeare? Then try re-staging their stories in a new setting. If, on the
other hand, you want to spoof those authors, then take whatever is silly or
humorous about them and exaggerate it in a parody.
Remember that intertextuality is not limited to the text of the same type.
This is important since many of the most sophisticated uses of deliberate
intertextuality are those that cut across different mediums and styles.
For example, have you ever tried to paint a piece of music? Or write a
story based on a philosophical idea?
Your writing and art will be intertextual whether you want them to be
or not. Latent intertextuality is inescapable! But when should you employ
deliberate intertextuality?
1. Creative Writing. It is nice to get inspiration for stories. You can draw on
other author’s stories and characters, or utilize other art forms to
motivate. Either way, when you make references to these other works you
are employing intertextuality.
8
2. Formal Essays. Deliberate intertextuality is a vital part of the research
process. When you quote a source, you take a little chunk of someone
else’s text and build it into your argument. You want this intertextuality to
be deliberate-if it’s useless, then that means you’re not quoting your
sources, which is very poor form in an essay!
Lesson
2 Hypertext
The use of the internet has become a need nowadays more than want.
The influx of information generated from the worldwide web is immensely
overwhelming, mainly because it caters to users’ short attention span. The
combination of audio and video materials, the condensed explanation of
concepts, the illustrated and animated exposition of technical procedures
have made the Internet a powerful tool in disseminating information,
conducting research, changing values, and complementing the learning
processes.
History of Hypertext
By now, the word hypertext has become generally accepted for branching
and responding text. Still, the corresponding name hypermedia, meaning
complexes of branching and responding graphics, movies and sound - and
text - is much less used. Instead, they use the strange term interactive
multimedia - four syllables longer, and not expressing the idea that it extends
hypertext.
What is hypertext?
9
Hyper +Text = Hypertext
Simply that is something beyond text, more than simple/plain/ordinary text.
Definitions of Hypertext
Hypertext most often refers to the text on a computer that will lead the
user to other, related information on demand.

In lesson 1, as you might have already figured out from the name, the
term intertextuality is now often used to describe the complex relationships that
exist between works of literature. Furthermore, in lesson 2 one good thing that
hypertext does is allowing you and the readers to shift to different web pages
almost instantly. When you get to navigate around the internet and view several
web pages is a matter of seconds or minutes, you have a greater chance of
getting a better picture of the entire scenario in a fast manner.
