Avant-texts and Intertextual Relations (In the Context of Genetic Criticism)

Abstract

This text is devoted to avant-texts and their influence on intertextual relations. The avanttext research makes it possible to reveal intertextual relations that significantly complement the previous interpretations of indicidual works. They also help realize the fact that any text once printed remains open, uninhibited and unbound – thanks to the research into its avanttexts, reading perspectives are significantly expanded and allow to pose a lot of significant questions related to the genesis of the text. Intertextual space is not limited only to conscious, teleological references, because it opens to the field of the unconscious.
