While I do agree creativity and the possibility for new things to be made still exists, I would have to say that many pieces of media that claim to be 'original' still derive from past texts. The literary theory states that people still indirectly copy and adapt all the time, even if the media itself is different.

What are some examples of texts being related back to one another

# data[].attributes.body
I find this very interesting and how intertextuality can influence our reading experiences and perspective. I love how it can enhance our beliefs of the book and can help recognise links between different texts that may have paid homage to or made a reference.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree. while yes, many texts are adaptations and have some sort of intertextuality. I believe that there would have to be some original texts.

# data[].attributes.body
How can we determine original meanings and texts if every text is built off of ideas that have been used before them?

Reading Intertextuality- A Symphony

# data[].attributes.body
This article was published in August of 2021 by Master Class. In this article it discusses that intertextuality is the idea that all literary works are influenced by pervious texts. This essentially states that no work is entirely original. This idea was introduced by Julia Kristeva in the 1960's and she believes that intertextuality can either be deliberate which means that they have intentional references, adaptations or homages or latent which means it was an unconscious influence and it wasn't intended. Some examples of intertextuality include that 'The Lion King' is a retelling of 'Hamlet" and 'Ulysses' mirrors 'The Odyssey'. There are 3 general tips for using intertextuality which are explore different genres, acknowledge influences and to avoid plagiarism. Intertextuality enriches storytelling by connecting literature across time and making new works deeper and more meaningful.

# data[].attributes.body
I completely agree with this post! But if every text has been influenced or inspired by another, where did the first text ever made take inspiration from? Was there any inspiration?

# data[].attributes.body
This article explains how authors use intertextuality to pay homage, critique, and extend conversations started by others. It is a way for strong writing to build upon other strong writing.

# data[].attributes.body
I also find this point interesting and agree with it completely. Adding references and mentions from past texts into a new one is an amazing way to add depth and a new yet nostalgic feel to a story, despite how re-used a trope may be.

Group 5- Points to agree and disagree with

# data[].attributes.body
Agree-

Intertextuality is inevitable: Every written work has been influenced by prior texts, whether it is consciously or unconsciously.

Deliberate vs. Latent Intertextuality: Some references made are intentional, like retellings and homages, while others happen naturally because of a vast influence of previous literature.

Intertextuality can be creative and innovative: Writers can borrow elements from past wrongs to create something new, like changing genres, perspectives or settings.

Intertextuality is not plagiarism: While referencing and drawing inspiration from other works is normal, directly copying someone else’s writing without credit is unethical.

Disagree-

Everything Has Already Been Written: While themes and archetypes may recur, new storytelling techniques, worldbuilding, and narrative structures continue to emerge

There were many things that in this text that i find interesting.

"no text is truly or uniquely original." - This statement is interesting to me because there are many ways this could be debated, for example, one could argue that there would have to be a text/media that is truly and uniquely original because one text had to have started without any background knowledge. In saying that, one could also argue that they would've drawn inspiration from conversing with others and observing things that happen around them, but would that still be considered interTEXTuality?

"Any work of literature that is involved in the creation of a new text is considered intertextual." - This statement is interesting to me because it talks about the same ideas as the one i discussed before, it is easily debatable and can carry the same arguments i had before.

# data[].attributes.body
This text makes many statements about how all literary texts are not original and unique, they have been developed using ideas or statements from prior texts. It also states how the concept of intertextuality is a literary theory which explains how all texts have been influenced or are altered versions from previous literary works.

There are 2 types of intertextuality, deliberate and latent. Deliberate intertextuality is when a text or phrase has purposely been used whilst latent intertextuality has made a reference to a literary work coincidentally.

How does knowing other texts create a deeper meaning to readers?

# data[].attributes.body
Whilst i find this interesting and agree with some of the points here, i think that there has to have been a text that didn't draw inspiration or use intertextuality whether it was deliberate or not because there once was the first text to be created that wouldn't have had anything to take inspiration from.

How can this lead readers to have a deeper understanding of texts?

I agree with this because i think that intertextuality does help enhance our interpretations from texts and helps recognise links between 2 or more texts.

Intertextuality enriches the reading or analysis of books by allowing readers to see connections between texts, which can deepen understanding and appreciation of themes, characters, and the context.

This extract emphasises the fact that no test exists by itself. The meaning is shaped through authors and readers consciously or subconsciously engaging with earlier works. This experience leads to a deeper meaning throughout the text.

I think that the overwhelming use of canon, whilst a fertile ground for inspiration, is limiting the voices of the authors from more diverse backgrounds.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with this statement because not all intertextuality uses are payed as homage, many authors will use it get financial advantage off other composer’s work.

# data[].attributes.body
push your vocab a bit more and say things like "financial advantage"

I tend to agree with this because I also believe that every text is related back to another

The article explains the origin of intertextuality, what it is, who presented the original idea of the term, different types of intertextualities, examples of the different forms of intertextuality, how we can identify it and how it has evolved over time.

What is interesting

I do not agree with the theory that "no texts can exist in isolation, and that every text is just an adaptation of another". I think some texts like "The lord of the rings" and "Jurassic Park' are modern original ideas that haven't been done before

# data[].attributes.body
Literary theory is especially intriguing to me; the concept that originality is scarce, recycled and rare to find uniquely in nowadays media is eye opening and really makes you think about what you're consuming as the audience.

# data[].attributes.body
Intertextuality connects known ideas between texts to create new ideas, challenge perceptions, and to help audiences understand and conceptualize ideas better.

# data[].attributes.body
Aren't there other texts or films that incorporated dinosaurs before "Jurassic Park?"

# data[].attributes.body
I have the same opinions in not agreeing with "no texts can exist in isolation, and that every text is just an adaptation of another" because i believe that there had to have been original ideas at at least one point in time. In saying that i don't agree with the movies mentioned being original because even a text mentioning dinosaurs before could have been seen as being used to create "Jurassic Park"

# data[].attributes.body
I agree as I believe that implementing intertextuality in your texts will challenges audiences perceptions, and help audience understand ideas more thoroughly.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with that no texts can exist solely without isolation, every text is just an adaptation of another

# data[].attributes.body
Although you make a good point, I think you're wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
While I agree that it is possible for an entirely original text, I disagree that the Lord of the Rings is free of an intertextual influence as there are clear inspirations from historical mythology and legend.

# data[].attributes.body
I somewhat agree with this. Although, I feel there is still so much possibilty and creativity out there for new pieces to be made.

How do they influence, reflect or reference each other?

I agree with the statement "Intertextuality connects known ideas between texts to create new ideas, challenges perceptions, and to help audiences understand and conceptualize ideas better". However, I would like to know more about how it challenges perceptions.

Intertextuality isn’t just about borrowing ideas—it transforms how we see texts. Even AI and technology follow this pattern, showing how all knowledge builds on what came before.

# data[].attributes.body
Intertextuality refers to the relationship between different texts and how they influence, reflect, or reference one another.

Intertextuality suggests that no text exists in isolation, and it often brings in cultural and historical references. Through engaging with intertextuality it fosters critical thinking and encourages readers to make connections between different texts. Intertextuality also reveals how ideas and themes evolve over time.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that intertextuality isn't about just borrowing ideas and find the notes about AI technology interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
Intertextuality is more than borrowing ideas. It connects and transforms ideas. Your insight shows a strong understanding of intertextuality and how it is used.

# data[].attributes.body
The article explains intertextuality as a way writers connect ideas across time, creating new meaning through references and influences.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with this as authors making a historical reference in a modern context will allow them to expand/deepen that idea.

Arianna

This text had many statements that i agreed with and i found that there was a lack of ones that i disagreed with.

"as all written text makes intertextuality possible" - I agree with this statement because, since intertextuality can be described as drawing inspiration and using media from different texts, then this statement would be true because anything that is created/written can have inspiration drawn from it.

"nearly all works contain some form of reference to another work of the past." - I agree with this statement because it aligns with the same ideas that i have about intertextuality and how we draw inspiration from past texts. This statement doesn't say that all texts have elements of intertextuality, but most and that is something that i agree with.

# data[].attributes.body
This extract talks about how every piece of literature is built off of systems and ideas that have already been done by works before them, also known as intertextuality. It states that we have to remember original meanings of texts in order to understand adaptations, and to recognise the links between different texts. Written by Tzina Kalogirou & Vasso Economopoulou (PhD in modern Greek literature).

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with your statement. Understanding original meanings to understand new adaptations as it builds a layer and stronger connections between texts while also building on the audiences perception of pre-existing ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
What I found interesting in the groups 'summary of article' is that it highlights a key idea in literary theory: that no text exists in isolation, every work is influenced by past works. It creates questions about how meaning changes and evolve overtime. Do adaptations and reinterpretations change the original meaning, or do they simply add new layers?

# data[].attributes.body
This extract explores the idea that texts gain meaning through their connections to other texts and it explores the idea that teachers should help students recognize these links to improve their critical thinking and reading skills.

"Intertextual references serve as waypoints through which readers traverse the interconnected lives of her characters"
- Jennifer Egan

This quote is interesting because it highlights how Jennifer Egan uses intertextuality. She references to other texts, music, and cultural elements and it's a kind of navigational tool for readers. These references create connections between characters, time periods, and themes, making the narrative feel layered and interconnected.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree. Jennifer's use of intertextuality does create a layered narrative. Awesome Work! 🤣😍

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the idea that reading becomes a process of moving between texts, plunging the reader into a web of textual relations, and a network of other texts that the author, Kalogirou Tzina makes. Nowadays, whilst reading a text/ watching a film our brains immediately make connections to other texts/films, making us really think whether that connection was accidental or purposeful and what other hidden meanings the composer might have left us.

# data[].attributes.body
i believe many people leverage the financial benefits of intertextuality because it uses culture capital to reach broad audiences.

I am in agreeance 👍🏼you have summarised many key points of intertextuality in an enthralling manner
