intertextuality

Theory in literary criticism that draws attention to the interdependence of literary texts.

As part of a movement stemming from the work of the French philosopher Jacques Derrida, known as deconstruction, the principles of intertextuality are as thoroughly demonstrated in the critical writings of its advocates as in the literary works they discuss.
