Textual Conversations Metalanguage Flashcards
Textual Conversation
Although all texts are in conversation, some are more explicit
A new text could be agreeing/critiquing an older text
A new text could be changing/adding onto an older text
Resonance
A shared idea, issue, value, theme (despite the new context) is the same, showing how much it endures and it accentuates these ideas, issues, values, themes
Consider why this this idea, issue, value, theme is used again in the new text
Dissonance
Ideas, issues, values, themes can change compared to the older text for whatever reason i.e. contextually
These ideas, issues, values, themes are now no longer valid
Reimagining
Imagine old ideas in a new context
Done through allusion or intertextuality
Reframing
A new context may need the author to change plot, themes or values of an old text to fit the new context
Done through change in form, structure, setting, etc
Mirror
An old idea, issue, value, theme is more or less the same as before even in the new context
Faithful adaptation
Align
Features of the new text which parallel the old text e.g. plot, characters, etc
Collide
A new idea which completely conflicts or otherwise goes against the old ideas
Shows values, themes which have long since changed and accentuates this change
Common (issues, values, assumptions, perspectives)
Issues that are still of concern despite differing contexts
Disparate
Issues are now different due to change in context
