Preferred term

intertextuality  

Definition

  • Intertextuality is often used (in a strict sense) to refer to the intersection and cross-referencing that exist between texts. Intertextuality is a component of many older media forms such as novels, television and radio, where the understanding or ‘decoding’ of any one text may often refer to, or even require, the understanding of another text or texts.
