Intertextuality by Fairclough

Intertextuality for Bakhtin is texts and utterances are shaped by prior texts. How texts are able to do this?

• They are "responding" to and produce subsequent texts that they "anticipate"

• They use genre convention to build connection

• They shape up discourses that are historically linked but socially limited

Kristeva used the term intertextuality in the scope of literatures.

• True

• False

Kristeva observes that intertextuality implies "the insertion of history (society) into a text and of this text into history", choose two best explanations for this statement.

• The insertion of history into text is the text absorbs and is built out texts from the past.

• The insertion of history into text is the text absorbs only from texts of the socially acclaimed and approved by hegemony that is built out from the past.

• The insertion of the text into history is text responds to, reaccentuates, reworks another texts in the present time, hence helps to make a chain of discourse.

• The insertion of the text into history is text responds to, reaccentuates, reworks past texts, hence helps to make history contributes to wider processes of change.

Intertextuality is socially limited and constrained, and conditional upon relations of power.

• True

• False

Dimension of intertextuality that creates "a dialogue" between a text and those which preceed and follow it in chain of texts, is...

• That is horizontal intertextuality, Miss Listya!

• That is vertical intertextuality, Miss Listya!

Dimension of intertextuality that creates relations between a text and other texts that constitute its more or less immediate or distant contexts: text it is historically linked with in various time-scales and along various perimeters, is...

• That is horizontal intertextuality, Miss Listya!

• That is vertical intertextuality, Miss Listya!

Speaking of genre, texts may not only draw upon conventions in a relatively straightforward way, but may also "reaccentuate" them by using them ironically, parodically, reverently, or "mix" them in various ways.

• True

• False

Text reaccentuates other texts by incorporating them explicitly in the text marked and cued by features on the surface of the text.

• That is called manifest.

• That is called constitutive.

Text reaccentuates other texts by its heterogeneity and diversity and often contradictory elements and threads that make up a text.

• That is called manifest intertextuality.

• That is called constitutive intertextuality. Or later be called interdiscursivity.
