Flashcard sets with a 'intertextuality' term meaning 'relationship between two or more texts that quote from one another, refer to one another, or otherwise connect. new testament passages that quote from the old testament are one example of intertextuality. another example is old testament books such as deuteronomy or the prophets that refer to the stories found in exodus. whereas a redaction critic would use such intertextuality to argue for a particular order and process of the authorship of the books in question, literary criticism takes a synchronic view that deals with the texts in their final form, as an interconnected body of literature. some postmodern theorists like to talk about the relationship between "intertextuality" and "hypertextuality" - hypertextuality being the sort of jumping around one does on the world wide web.'
