Intertextuality as a Technique of Drama

Learning Competency with code

 Understand intertextuality as a technique of drama
Learning Context (Brief discussion of the lesson, cite examples)

What is Intertextuality?

Intertextuality is when a text implicitly and explicitly refers to another text, by using common or
recognizable elements of the referenced text.
An implicit reference is when the composer alludes to another text through ideas, symbols,
genre or style.
An explicit reference is when the composer directly mentions quotes or references another text
in their work.
Different Types of Intertextuality

Allusion is a subtle or indirect reference to another text, historical period or religious belief.
Parody is an imitation of another text for satirical purpose, usually to mock.
Quotation is a direct reference to another text with an acknowledgement of its composer.
Appropriation is a reworking or the reimagination of a well-known text to change or extend its
meaning.
Adaptation is a film, TV drama or stage play that is based on a written work.

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.

Example of Intertextuality
Aime Cesaire’s play A Tempest is an adaptation of The Tempest by William Shakespeare. The
author parodies Shakespeare’s play from a post-colonial point of view. Cesaire also changes the
occupations and races of his characters. For example, he transforms the occupation of Prospero, who
was a magician, into a slave-owner, and also changes Ariel into a Mulatto, though he was a spirit.
Cesaire, like Rhys, makes use of a famous work of literature, and put a spin on it in order to express
the themes of power, slavery, and colonialism.

How does Intertextuality work?

Writing and art will be intertextual whether you want them to be or not. Latent intertextuality is
inescapable! But when should you employ deliberate intertextuality? Deliberate intertextuality has a
place both in creative writing and formal essays. In creative writing, it’s a great way to get inspiration for

stories. You can draw on other authors’ stories and characters, or you can use other art forms to get
inspiration. Either way, when you make deliberate references to these other works
you are employing intertextuality.
A complex use of intertextuality is considered a sophisticated tool in writing. Rather than
referencing phrases from other works, a refined use of intertextuality involves drawing upon an
ideology, a concept, or even rhetoric from others. Thus, you may explore the political ideology in your
story by drawing upon the current rhetoric in politics. Alternatively, you may use a text source and
explore it further.
