So beautifully explained. Although I never went to uni it is lectures like this and of Robert Sapolsky that make me fall in love with the academic world. Thank you.

[@jeddle]

Wow, this means a lot. Thank you so much :)

[@yulianxue1991]

Thank you so much for sharing this video. I couldn't understand what is intertextuality at first, but i kind of get a little bit deeper understanding of what it is. It is like ‘There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes.’

Hi! I get so interested in root studies of intertextualities. May i know your references?

[@zamanali3456]

Awesome explanation ❤️❤️❤️

[@soumiatulip]

Thank you. Is there an article that may function as an example if intertextuality? I have a question, is dealing with New Criticism when analyzing a text and ficusing on the close reading of the text hinder us from dealing with relations between texts?

[@wardaaslamaslamdogar7973]

Can you please guide me about my assignment topic.How does intertexuality work in the text, that is, in what ways does the text quote, allude to, or otherwise borrow words from other oral or written sources? What function does this serve in the text?

Actualy im doing my doctorat on the Hidden face of God in the book of Isaiah an intertextual approach. Very interesting topic but my difficulties lies on the resources to understand what realy is For Example, In Is 57,17 it's says that for his iniquity and unjust gain i was anger. The question is wich iniquity and type of unjust gain? I've found already the hypertext that are linked to this text wich is Is 56,11. Now the question how to extract meaning from the dialogue of the two texts and discover the transformation and how the text was shaped from the reading of other text. THIS REALY A HARD topic to do espacialy that my work is in Hebrew. If there are some help, i'll be thanksfull. Boulos

[@boulos5151]

Hello this video is amazing and so helpful for my Doctorate. Untill now i did not understood plainfully what intertextuality is and how i can use the reading of a text and extract meaning in the act of reading and dialoging with other texts. Can you help me in this? thanks

Wow - You lost me as soon as you said you don't really care what the writer intended in the text. But that would surely seem to be the very FIRST necessary step to take if you hope to comprehend an author's meaning. This lecture is essentially an exercise in searching for meaning where none exists, and then basically putting words into an author's mouth. Totally asinine and nonsensical. I take that word "intertextuality" as meaning "reading between the lines" in a case where NOTHING exists in between those lines. This is, after all, the truth of it. It's like telling an author that he/she has no idea what he's talking about, because you comprehend the subject matter better than he/she does. This is what I like to call the arrogance and ignorance of the masses shrouded in a dark cloud of false intellectualism. Everyone believes they're a goddam genius on every topic under the sun. And it of course gets most abundantly expressed in the world of Leftist Politics.

[@jeddle]

Thanks for the comment! There are many different views on this, of which yours is one. Does the meaning of a text, for example a poem, really depend on what the author intended? In most cases, we can't actually ask the composer what they meant, either because they are no longer alive or because their own opinion has since changed. A text must mean what you interpret it to mean, but of course that is going to be influenced by what the author intended - as that will have an undeniable influence on the way in which it is constructed and thus on the way in which it can reasonably be understood. Meaning is therefore to be found at a kind of 'intersection' between what the author intended the text to mean and how the text was in fact received by the audience.

[@scotthullinger4684]

@@jeddle - If the author of a poem is still alive, then YES - determining the meaning should include input from the author, except in cases of when an author perhaps has no wish to supply input. The same could also be said of much of classical music, although it is often made much easier if such music is an oratorio with religious text / lyrics. Because after all ... some things are FAR more than obvious. I meant classical music in general, and not specifically "the" classical music, such as Mozart. I think it's the height of hubris for a literary critic to essentially tell an author, in so many words, that he or she did not mean quite exactly what he or she said. This leads to a similar topic, one which examines how the Leftist universe is now attempting to assign whole new meanings to old, or even to ancient texts of all sorts, which have existed for decades or even centuries. Absolutely everything has become politicized, right down to the last note in B minor, or the latest conjugation of the newest verb in a brand new invented "foreign" language. In short - Gobbledygook has become the name of the game. And yes indeed, it surely IS a game - a mental game, a political game, a game of good and bad, right and wrong, truth and falsehood. Apologies for becoming abruptly philosophical. But philosophy is the love of truth, and TRUTH is something which we all have in extremely short supply these days.

[@jeddle]

@@scotthullinger4684 I agree with the sentiment behind your comment i.e. that if something objectively means X (when read in its proper context), then we should not say it means Y. However, there is a difference between a factual truth (e.g. 2 + 2 = 4) and an embedded truth in art, where subjective interpretation undoubtedly plays a role (and is in fact part of its beauty). Art is not the same as science. When dealing with a text or a piece of art, I disagree that the only 'correct' meaning is what the author intended, but I do agree that one should not say that "The composer intended X" when he/she in fact intended Y (according to verified documentation). One should be careful to word their analysis in the correct way e.g. "The text might suggest X, when viewed through Y lens". So I think we agree on 90%!

[@scotthullinger4684]

@@jeddle - I believe what you need to do now is to define what an "embedded truth" is with regard to art. And yes, it's surely important to word an analysis in such a way as to not draw conclusions which seem scientific in nature when the topic happens to be art - the written word. Oh, but then again, an analysis could possibly be made from the point of view of a linguist, which is surely more "scientific" but is not particularly practical. Hmm, embedded truth in art - is there any? Which sort of truth, and about what? Truth about life? Truth about the author? Truth about the human condition? I think one truth regarding art is that any art reveals the content of the author as a being. If the art is deep, then the person who created it is also deep. "Deep" of course is a huge matter of opinion. But then on the other hand, it's surely not. Any author's art reveals precisely who and what the person is because the art cannot exist without the person who created it. I'll be brief, and just say that generally speaking, as human beings become more empty, so does the art which they produce. Crass is as crass does - whether it's art, or politics, or anything under the sun. Our art is vastly empty because our souls are vastly empty.
