Paul ricoeur, and ferdinand de Saussure. various philosophical and cultural movements-such as phenomenology, romanticism, existentialism, Marxism, deconstructionism, structuralism, poststructuralism, reader-response theory, and the like-have generated pertinent theorists, including claude lévi-Strauss, Jacques lacan, I. a. richards, Stanley fish, Wolfgang Iser, roman Jakobson, roland barthes, Michael riffaterre, Jonathan culler, and so on. equally influential, if not more, is the russian thinker Mikhail M. bakhtin, whose trenchant work on dialogism Kristeva substantially gives credit. Without belaboring all the details of these theorists, which are available in numerous publications, we will rehash key insights surrounding Kristeva's intertextuality, especially in hermeneutical dialogues with bakhtin, barthes, and riffaterre. first of all, bakhtin's dialogism is fundamental to
Intertextuality: A Recent History of Interpretation
Intertextuality has been influential in the field of literary studies ever since Bulgarian philosopher Julia Kristeva coined the term in the late 1960s. This draft paper surveys major intertextual works, especially those related to New Testament interpretation.
The Ideological Inception of Intertextuality and its Dissonance in Current Biblical Studies
Much confusion surrounds the term 'intertextuality', especially regarding its usage in biblical studies today. Though the origin of the technical usage of the term is casually noted by many authors, few seem to note its implications. This essay will retrace the postmodern origins of 'intertextuality', namely in Julia Kristeva, and show that its usage in biblical studies today is dissonant to its original intent. In the second part of this essay, I will focus on the work of Richard Hays, who is commonly understood to have first applied the term in biblical studies, in relation to the presence of the Old Testament in the New Testament. After my analysis, I propose an alternative that I consider to be a clearer option, so as not to confuse the current usage of the term with its original intent.
Intertextuality and New Testament Studies
Currents in Biblical Research, 2022
Intertextuality is a hermeneutical strand of poststructuralism. In biblical scholarship, since Hays's influential work Echoes of Scripture in the Letters of Paul (1989), the term has also been employed to refer to a later text's interpretation of an earlier text. Regrettably, however, for the past three decades, scholars have failed to come to a consensus on how to understand and apply intertextuality in New Testament studies. Though both literary and biblical studies employ the same term intertextuality, their conception and application of intertextuality differs substantially. Accordingly, this essay will sketch how literary and biblical studies have perceived and utilized the concept of intertextuality. Following this, the study will evaluate these approaches. Finally, the present essay will conclude with a proposal for how to relate intertextuality and New Testament studies that is a cogent middle ground between poststructuralism and biblical studies, thereby compensating for both sides' deficiencies.
Intertextuality and Biblical Studies: A Review
Verbum et Ecclesia, 2002
The literary term 'intertextuality' was introduced into biblical studies in 1989 and concerns the complex relationships that exist between texts. Not surprisingly, this was of interest to those who study the use of the Old Testament in the New, for old texts appear to be given new meaning by being used in new contexts. In this article, I demonstrate the fruitfulness of this approach by offering a survey of five different �types� of intertextuality currently in use today. I conclude that if scholars wish to continue to use the term, they need to clarify which 'type' of intertextuality they are using, so that readers can know what is being claimed.
The Changing Face of Intertextuality
2020
This draft addresses intertextuality in relation to the term's origin in post-structuralism and adaptation by biblical interpreters who are not poststructuralists. It addresses intertextuality's development inside and outside of biblical studies. This excerpt comes from a longer article entitled, "Ancient Midrash in the Age of Intertextuality,” in New Studies in Textual Interplay, ed. Craig A. Evans, B. J. Oropeza, and Paul T. Sloan; Studiesin Scripture in Early Judaism and Christianity 20/Library of New Testament Studies 632 (London: T. & T. Clark,2020), 9-28. ISBN 978-0567-67897-3. The complete essay in this monograph is highly recommended.
That intertextuality has come into vogue in Hebrew Bible scholarship is hardly surprising given some general trends in the field. In fact, the reconstruction of redactional activity and ‘Fortschreibung’ as well as inner-biblical interpretation is heavily dependent on the perception of intertextual relationships. But therein lies the problem. Has the perceived relationship indeed been established by the author of one of the biblical texts in question (aesthetics of production), or does it merely lie in the eye of the beholder (aesthetics of reception)? Comparing two competing claims regarding an intertextual relationship of Josh 2—viz., with Num 13–14 par. Deut 1 or with Num 25:1–5—the present paper develops criteria for identifying and analyzing intertextual relationships within the Hebrew Bible.
Significant Assumptions: On the Methodology of Intertextuality and Inner-Biblical Exegesis
in The End from the Beginning” Festschrift Honoring Merling Alomía, 2015
In recent years a variety of exegetical methods have appeared, emphasizing many forms of literary analysis for biblical texts. In fact, it is well known that some scholars have a growing interest in an approach to the scriptures through the possible connections of the texts, that is to say, connections between early records and later allusions. From this perspective, two known approaches have emerged; these are intertextuality and inner-biblical exegesis. This paper will attempt to review some methodological assumptions of these two approaches.
