Intertextuality and Metafictional Awareness

This exam addresses the concept of intertextuality within metafiction, examining how metafictional works acknowledge and engage with other texts. The focus will be on how these interactions create a layered meaning.

Intertextual dialogue in metafiction has profound implications for literary theory, as it challenges the boundaries between texts and enhances the reader's interpretative experience. Such engagement fosters critical thought regarding authorship and originality in literature.

The exam will evaluate students’ verbal skills in identifying intertextual references and discussing their significance within the framework of metafiction. Additionally, analysis of how these references influence meaning will be crucial.

Students should familiarize themselves with key texts demonstrating intertextual relationships, as well as theoretical frameworks that discuss this concept within metafictional contexts.
