Genette's five kinds of transtextuality: intertextuality paratextuality metatextuality hypertextuality architextuality

Intertextuality can be defined as a text segment present in another text. quoting; example: The Spy wWho Ccame in from the cCold p. 115 "It is not fashionable to quote Stalin but he said once, 'half a million liquidated is a statistic, and one man killed in a traffic accident is a national tragedy.'" plagiarism; example: Helene Hegemann's Axolotl Roadkill was copied from and without giving credit to Strobo by Airen. allusion; example: "Celui-ci ne vaut rien, percez-nous-en d'un autre." Percer in this context means to propose another one. At the same time it mocks the addressee Voiture for being the son of a rich wine merchant.

Paratextuality can be defined as two text linked together by paratexts (titles, dedications, footnotes, chapter names, etc.) inobvious text snippets. example: James Joyce's Ulysses used keywords from the Odyssey as a naming scheme for its chapters.

Metatextuality can be defined as a text commenting on another one. example: Hegel's The Phenomenology of Spirit uses Rameau's Nephew to define the zeitgeist of modernity.

Architextuality can be defined as a genre classification that is dependent on the expectations of the reader. example: is The Untouchable a spy novel or a roman clef ? What did you expect when you read it for a pProseminar called British Spy Fiction?

Hypertextuality can be defined as the relationship between a text A ("hypotext") and a text B ("hypertext") where text A is the basis and text B an overlay. Transformation; example: Joyce's Ulysses (hypertext) tells the story of Homer's Odyssey (hypotext) but uses a different, a modern setting. Imitation (complex transformation); example: Virgil's Aeneid (hypertext) uses Homer's Odyssey and Iliad (hypotexts) as guide lines to tell a different story.
