An Intertext,the high end of the continium as a Super-Text in the realms of Literary Discourse,which I am re-reading in a new context of Ideas is my read and shared text as Ideas which can be challenged. This is Conrad in Heart of Darkness(Vintage 2007,p. 5); The sun set;the dusk fell on the stream,and lights began to appear along the shore.The Chapman light-house,a three legged thing erect on a mud-flat,shone strongly.Lights of the ships moved in the fairway - a great stir of lights going up and down.And farther west on the upper reaches the place of the monstrous town was still marked ominously on the sky,a brooding gloom in sunshine,a lurid glare under the stars. 'And this also,' said Marlow suddenly,'has been one of the dark places of the earth.' This my choice of text for Intertextual consideration: a)Bunga-Bunga, a new English word, where signification remains decentered, discourse shifts to domains beauty of imagination; b)Cricket as 20-Twenty in IPL is one example where Conrads' descriptive metaphor fit in; c)The aesthetic aspect of nature as explicated in the Super-Text as an explication of time zones. This is my interpretation of literary theory as Intertext.
