Intertextuality - Einzelansicht

In this course, we will be looking at theories of intertextuality to see a text as a ‘mosaic of quotations’ (Kristeva) and learn what lies behind a term that is frequently used in literary criticism. To build up our theoretical understanding of intertextuality, we will be consulting Kristeva, Barthes, Bakhtin and Foucault and to explore this idea further, we will be reading the following novels:

• Virginia Woolf: Mrs Dalloway
• Michael Cunningham: The Hours
• Gertrude Stein: The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas
• Monique Truong: The Book of Salt

 With the exception of Stein, students are required to buy their own copies of these novels. Further readings will be made available via Moodle.

This online course will be based on asynchronous learning, but it will include a few synchronous elements during course hours. The dates for these Zoom sessions will be:

• 13.04.
• 04.05.
• 18.05.
• 08.06.
• 22.06.
• 13.07.
