Özet:
Intertextuality
is an extremely important concept, especially in the context of post-modern
literary theory. This concept plays a critical role in postmodern theory and
provides an important framework for understanding how literary texts relate to
each other. Intertextuality refers to the process by which one or more texts
interact with each other and one text is reconfigured within another text.
Intertextuality is a concept in which all texts are shaped by and benefit from
other texts. The phenomenon of intertextuality reveals how a text’s meaning is
shaped through its relationships with prior texts and discourses. The reworking of one text within
another revitalizes the original text by offering it a fresh perspective. This
not only prevents the older text from fading into obscurity but also enables
the emergence of new interpretations. Indeed, this phenomenon provides a mode
of reading and interpretation that focuses on the creation of new layers of
meaning through intertextual exchanges. Authors often, even unknowingly,
explore the same theme using different words, thus presenting the text from a
new perspective. Intertextual analysis is an approach that examines the
relationships a text establishes with other texts through elements such as
quotation, allusion, pastiche, parody, montage, and collage. The aim of this
thesis is to explore the intertextual relationships in J.D. Salinger’s Nine
Stories through the lens of Mikhail Bakhtin’s dialogic approach, Julia
Kristeva’s views on the origins of intertextuality, Roland Barthes’s ideas on
the role of the reader, and Gérard Genette’s categories of transtextuality. It
seeks to examine the intertextual elements that have been transformed and
recontextualized from selected novels, short stories, and other literary genres
within Salinger’s work.
