Intertextuality and the Mosaic of Texts
Examine how a text is not an isolated entity but an absorption and transformation of other texts.
📝 Contenu du Prompt
Elaborate on Julia Kristeva's theory of intertextuality. Argue theoretically that no text exists in a vacuum; rather, every text is a mosaic of quotations, allusions, and absorption of the 'other'. Describe the mechanism by which a text reads other texts and how the boundaries between the 'writing subject' and the 'reading subject' blur in a purely intertextual analysis.
