Flashcard sets with a 'intertextuality' term meaning 'the term was introduced by the french semiotician julia kristeva in 1966, who objected to the traditional view that the author is "influenced" by earlier authors and their texts; kristeva argued that all signifying systems transform earlier signifying systems. according to this theory, a literary work is not the product of a single author, but of its relationship to other texts. "any text is constructed of a mosaic of quotations; any text is the absorption and transformation of another." an example of intertextuality through allusion is in henry fielding's tom jones (see p. 21) and that of intertextuality through parody is jonathan swift's gulliver's travels [see pp. 107-8].'
