Description
This collection of new essays is exclusively devoted to intertextuality as an interdisciplinary phenomenon of particular interest to students of comparative literature and, more specifically, the comparative arts. Focusing on German culture between the sixteenth and twentieth centuries, the volume constitutes the first attempt at an overview of the subject and offers suggestions for a still-to-be-established typology of pertinent artistic modes and genres.
Most of the essays explore the potential of the concept of intertextuality as breaking the path for innovative approaches to old comparative groupings such as literature and art, literature and photography, textuality and film. Other, more exclusively methodological, articles address perennial problems of comparative arts analysis with attention to general terminological questions and from new theoretical perspectives.
