What is "inter-textuality"? :)
Dianne Bright
From my Spanish-lit background, we called it "la intertextualidad" so the best translation in English is inter-textuality; it's the use of outside literary references within the current text. It could be a reference to a poem, an essay, or a narrative, etc. Hope that helps! :)
