Between text and text

Meer over het boek

This volume explores intertextuality in antique texts and their reception through Medieval and modern times. It addresses key questions: (1) What constitutes a text and an intertext? This involves examining various text forms, including architecture, iconography, and lexicography. (2) It investigates forms of intertextuality, focusing on the interplay between oral and written traditions, particularly how oral texts are transformed into fixed written forms. (3) The research delves into concepts of “tradition” and “transmission” in ancient Oriental and antique literature, highlighting that the transfer of tradition occurs across cultural boundaries and geographic distances, influenced by historical realities and thought structures. (4) The relationship between intertextuality and canon is also examined, with contributions analyzing how culturally significant and canonized texts undergo rejuvenation through ongoing historical discourse.
