The reaction against the New critical approach regarding the nature of literature became pronounced since the 1960's what is explicit in the reaction offered by recent critical approaches i.e. structuralism of post -structuralism is the instance on the very social and constitutive nature of the literary activity because of the belief in language as a social construct. In all construct. In all cases, a text happens to be related to the other texts produced by the same author and to the entire culture behind him . These is the notion of INTERTEXTUALITY which assumes that all texts in a language and necessarily refer back to a repertoire of sings in that language and could be grasped only with reference to the sings in the system, similarly, a text make sense only when it is read in relation to its context. |
