Intertextuality

Intertextuality; I search on the definition of at Dictionary.com, and this is the result: Intertextuality is  the interrelationship between texts, especially works of literature; the way that similar or related texts influence,reflect or differ from each other: the intertextuality between two novels with the same setting.


What i understand about intertextuality during class is this " No Such Thing is Originality". The fundamental concept of intertextuality is that no text, much as it might like to be like what they be seem but references to and quotations from other texts.

From the note that given by Daniel Chong,  there had shown that the study of intertextuality include:
remakes, sequels, prequels within same media
translations between media, e.g. novel to film, film to computer game (and vice versa)
transition between genres, e.g. Seven Samurai remade as Magnificent Seven
relation of artefacts within a genre group, e.g. between different episodes of the same TV soap     opera, or between different TV soap operas
and inside the note this is the on line that i remember the most is 'nothing is ever truly original'  Daniel said it, Parody can be good example of intertextuality; an author's or director's that borrowing and refer some other's author's or director's work and transforms or modifying them to trigger humor facets to become parodies.
