intertext

is the way one context is related to others and how they might be transformed.

Context fixes the relational field of meaning, but it does so only by drawing upon previous contexts that are themselves embedded in still other contexts. This inter-contextual character of the relations among constructs is ''intertext'', a term specifying how one context is related to others, but also how they might be transformed. Thus, deconstruction as a methodology is the effort, ''to take this limitless context into account, to pay the sharpest attention possible to context, and thus to an incessant movement of recontextualisation'' (1988:136).
