Symbols y Intertextually Flashcards
(4 cards)
What is the text
A group of elements (in literature mostly words) that can be assigned a meaning. Though we focus on literary ones, most creations that can be interpreted (visual, audio, film) can also be considered text.
What is the intertextuality
The relationship between different texts. They can reference each other, influence newer ones, simply coexist, or complement their meanings
What is Symbol
A thing that represents or stands for something else through association, especially a material object representing something abstract.
Symbols exist because of intertextual relationships. The association of different texts allow us to represent one object or idea with a different one.
