DasmaSIpag DasmaGAling DasmaSIgla The Drama world had faced many troubling times in the past, but never anything like this. It was the first time in history that The Knights of the Pen kingdom was seized by the most dangerous enemy, the Copy Beast. The soldiers and villagers of Pen kingdom, who had once banded together to fight off the scariest monsters, were no match for these invaders. After the wordy warfare, Copy Beast, the conqueror of the Pen Kingdom, called for their first congregation. He bragged his “original” stories to the kingdom, but the civilians roared with laughter. They cackled at the embarrassing scene, for they know that his stories were just copied and or just a mere duplication of original stories. But the Copy Beast wouldn’t let his first moments as King become a mockery. “SILENCE OR YOU’LL ALL PERISH!” the Copy Beast yelled. There was no telling how far he’d go to gain respect. He called his fearless soldiers and ordered them to kill the apprentice writers if they will not follow his ways. But the Mighty Guide named Jay would not let him rule over the Pen Kingdom. Hello Learner, I am Jay your mighty guide in this venture. Can you help me rescue the apprentice writers and save the Pen kingdom from this misfortune? Great!

DasmaSIpag DasmaGAling DasmaSIgla The word ‘intertextuality’ was derived from the Latin word intertexto meaning ‘to mingle while weaving’. It was first introduced in literary linguistics by Bulgarian-born French semiotician and philosopher Julia Kristeva in the late 1960s. In her manifesto which includes such essays as "The Bounded Text" and "Word, Dialogue, and Novel," Kristeva broke from traditional notions of the author’s influences and the text’s sources. She argued that all signifying systems, from table settings to poems, are constituted by the way they transform earlier signifying systems. A literary work, then, is not simply the product of a single author, but of his/her relationship to other texts (both written and spoken), and to the structure of language itself.
DasmaSIpag DasmaGAling DasmaSIgla There are different types of Intertextuality: Appropriation Allusion Parody Quotation Adaptation
DasmaSIpag DasmaGAling DasmaSIgla Appropriation is where a text is adapted from the original text. It's important to note it isn't just copied instead reimagined in some way to make it new whether it's for a different context or a different audience. Allusion this is where you allude to something so it's referenced to another text so not only can it be a reference to a text but it can also be a person a place or an event. The audience or reader has to make the connection. Parody is a funny interpretation of a text. It is mimicking or copying a text in order to comment on it, a humorous interpretation of serious piece of literature, writing, art or music. Its main purpose is to entertain the reader. Quotation: A direct reference to another text with acknowledgement of its composer Adaptation: A film, TV Drama, or stage play that is based on a written work.
DasmaSIpag DasmaGAling DasmaSIgla Intertextuality also involves the reader, the situation being refer to and its context. In traditional literary theory it is assumed that when we read a work of literature, we are trying to find a meaning which lies inside that work. We extract the meaning of the text. This process of extracting is called interpretation. Intertextuality in drama has been widely used since then. Here in the Philippines, one of the most renowned is drama specifically theater. Some of the types of theater in the country are the epic poetry Biag ni Lam-ang, Senakulo or Passion Play and Balagtasan . These theater plays have never-ending adaptations.
DasmaSIpag DasmaGAling DasmaSIgla The Importance of Intertextuality Intertextuality shows how much a culture can influence its authors, even as the authors in turn influence the culture . It also shows how a similar cultural, religious, political, or moral ideology can be expressed in very different ways through different cultural practices.
