Intertextuality: a tool for teaching literature

"Every text is constructed as a mosaic of quotations, every text is the absorption and transformation of another text" (KRISTEVA, 1974a, p.64 apud SILVA, 2003, p.214). "[...] there is no discourse that does not relate to others. In other words, meanings are the result of relationships: a discourse points to others that support it, as well as to future sayings. [...] A saying is related to other realised, imagined or possible sayings." (ORLANDI, 2010, p. 39).
