Multimodal intertextuality

Abstract

Intertextuality is a concept used on the linguistic studies since Kristeva (1969) and the notion that the texts can happen in intertexts is accepted in the linguistics area (Koch & Elias 2010; and others). It is also possible to highlight that the development of new digital technologies in the twenty-first century has propitiated the creation of new textual genres, such as memes (Marcuschi 2008), which, according to Kress and Van Leeuwen (2001), use different modes of language. The purpose of this article is to present the intertextuality process as a multimodal phenomenon in pedagogical environments as a tool of generating themes (Freire 2014 [1968]).
