Study Notes
Intertextuality
- Intertextuality refers to the practice of referencing, alluding to, or borrowing from other texts, often to create new meanings or cultural connections.
- It involves a web of relationships between different texts, where one text is related to, or builds upon, another.
Examples of Intertextuality
- A novel that reimagines a classic fairy tale is an example of intertextuality, as it draws inspiration from the original tale and creates a new narrative.
What is often mistaken for plagiarism

Intertextual Figures
- Figures that are not considered intertextual include quotes or direct references that are properly cited and attributed to their original authors.
What Intertextuality Creates
- Intertextuality creates connections between texts, establishing relationships, and fostering a web of cultural references that transcend individual texts.
