The Intertextuality Research From The Postmodern Perspective

"Intertextuality" is a term which was proposed by the French theorist Eva Christie in1967. This term has gone through a complex evolution process once it came out, and became one of the most popular and chaos using literary theory terms. The fuzziness of this theory itself and the complexity of the background of the evolution produce caused the chaotic using of this term. Scholars on the one hand widely used it in criticism and practice of all kinds of social and cultural fields, on the other hand, debated the attribution of this concept, neglecting the postmodern which is the important historical background. This paper tries to abstract the clear context from the complicated debate, macro control the evolution of this theory and protruding reveal the unique value of generalized intertextuality theory in the postmodern context.This paper is divided into five parts:the introduction of the paper introduces the cause of the topic, the present situation of domestic and foreign research and the existing problems. And then compares and contrasts the relevant disputes about the definition of the intertextuality. Starting from the influence and intertextuality, special intertextuality and general intertextuality, intertextuality synchronic and diachronic study these categories those are the academic debating focus, abstracts the value of research the and the space of interpretation of intertextuality theory in the contemporary culture context.The first chapter presents postmodern theorists involved in theory construction of the intertextuality and the related discussion about intertextuality theory, clear the theory kernel and the spirit quality of generalized intertextuality theory.The second chapter investigates the specific operational condition of intertextuality theory in the postmodern literature, from the citing, parody, collage, plagiarizing these four aspects, interprets the operation strategy of intertextuality theory in the postmodern context, and analyses and researches combined with the relevant works deeply. Postmodernism provides strong theoretical resources for the development of intertextuality, at the same time, the concept of intertextuality also provide new and practical introduction of operation mechanism to the interpretation of postmodern works and understanding of postmodern literature phenomenon.The third chapter analyses the shortcomings of the extreme postmodern theory and the dilemma it encountering in the context of contemporary, to explore the constructional meaning theory of intertextuality how to break out from the postmodern predicament further, and try to expand the survival and development soil from the two dimensions of the vertical and horizontal of constructiveness intertextuality theory.Epilogue part makes the full text of the concluding statement, in addition, states some theory or practice problem which the theory did not involve or failed to solve, as a further stimulate thinking overture.
