"noun
the interrelationship between texts, especiallyworks of literature; the way that similar or relatedtexts influence, reflect, or differ from each other:the intertextuality between two novels with thesame setting."

# data[].attributes.body
"A majority of writers borrow ideas from previous works to give a layer of meaning to their own works. In fact, when readers read the new text with reflection on another literary work, all related assumptions, effects, and ideas of the other text provide them a different meaning, and changes the technique of interpretation of the original piece. Since readers take influence from other texts, and while reading new texts they sift through archives, this device gives them relevance and clarifies their understanding of the new texts. For writers, intertextuality allows them to open new perspectives and possibilities to construct their stories. Thus, writers may explore a particular ideology in their narrative by discussing recent rhetoric in the original text."

Difference Between Intertextuality and Allusion

"Although both these terms seem similar to each other, they are slightly different in their meanings. An allusion is a brief and concise reference that a writer uses in another narrative without affecting the storyline. Intertextuality, on the other hand, uses the reference of the full story in another text or story as its backbone."

"This term was developed by the poststructuralist Julia Kristeva in the 1960s, and since then it’s been widely accepted by postmodern literary critics and theoreticians.

Her invention was a response to Ferdinand de Saussure’s theory and his claim that signs gain their meaning through structure in a particular text. She opposed his to her own, saying that readers are always influenced by other texts, sifting through their archives, when reading a new one.

Basically, when writers borrow from previous texts, their work acquires layers of meaning. In addition, when a text is read in the light of another text, all the assumptions and effects of the other text give a new meaning and influence the way of interpreting the original text. It serves as a subtheme, and reminds us of the double narratives in allegories."

Recent trend of cinematic universes to emphasise referential imagery's meaning.
examples include marvel, DC.
Marvels was planned from the early stages which resulted in imitation by other companies including the Failed attempt by universal and their introduction of the "Dark universe"
Showing how the use of cinematic universes has now become a recognition based marketing campaign rather than a fairly unique and entertaining feature.
Another example of the influence the introduction of cinematic universes Is with the director M.Night Shyamalan and his two films Unbreakable(2000) and Split(2016). A post credit scene that links the two films together 16 years apart was a clear indication that this was the influence of recent cinematic universes.
