In my last post, I identified that the term \u2018intertextuality\u2019 has several different meanings throughout linguistics; it has been a term coined for many different purposes, similar to the way \u201cWeb 3.0\u201d has been used and abused in recent years. It seems that the benchmark of a \u2018serious\u2019 intertextuality study is the identification and isolation of this problem.<\/p>\n
Pre-structuralists identified intertextuality as the conveyance of varying meanings from author to reader. This largely depended on the reader\u2019s subjective norms and expectations. For instance, one text may represent itself in different ways to different readers, with or without the intent of the author. Modern theories identify intertextuality as links between texts, perhaps intentionally, but fundamentally produced by texts, not authors. (Source: Wikipedia; Beckett’s Dantes: Intertextuality in the Fiction and Criticism).<\/p>\n
In Intertextuality: Debates and Contexts, Orr identifies electronic media as catalysts to the challenging of traditional intertextuality theories, where terms such as \u201chypertextuality\u201d and \u201cinterdisciplinarity\u201d take precedence over intertextuality, effectively confining intertextuality to printed media of the past.<\/p>\n
It yet remains to be seen (through reading) what relations exist between intertextuality and modern electronic media, although several hypotheses have been discovered. If parallels can be drawn, then the development and future of hypertext, and those who use it, may be related to that of previous media models such as printed text.<\/p>\n
I will be looking into adjusting my second research topic so it concurs with the themes of this exercise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
