Testo, testi, e contesti: l’intertestualità in scena

Nigri, L

Abstract

Texts, whether they be literary or non-literary, are viewed by modern
theorists as lacking in any kind of independent meaning. They are what
theorists now call intertextual. The act of reading, theorists claim, plunges
us into a network of textual relations. To interpret a text, to discover its
meaning, or meanings, is to trace those relations. Reading thus becomes
a process of moving between texts. Meaning becomes something which
exists between a text and all the other texts to which it refers and relates,
moving out from the independent text into a network of textual relations.
The text becomes the intertext.
