Intertextuality Research

Abstract The concept of intertextuality refers to the relationships, functions, and effects arising between two or more texts where the texts reference each other in quotations, allusions, or structural parallels. The concept was formulated in literary studies in the 1970s and 1980s as part of an extensive theoretical debate and has recently been updated under the auspices of digitality. Digital methods are used to find, annotate, and evaluate intertextual references. Depending on the method, different approaches to the phenomenon of intertextual relationships develop, some of which align with traditional literary studies concepts and are characterized by the specifics of digitality.
