The Uses of Intertextuality in Gay Young Adult Literature
Original language description
The authors of American young adult literature regularly make extensive intentional use of intertextuality in many forms, mainly as allusions to other texts, such as literary works, songs, and movies. The paper explores the various uses of intertextuality in three young adult novels: Sandra Scoppettone's Trying Hard to Hear You (1974), Larry Duplechan's Blackbird (1986), and Michael Cart's My Fathers Scar (1996). It explores three main uses of intentional intertextuality: defining the setting (includingthe creation of an atmosphere), characterizing the protagonists, and fighting or endorsing another text. A hypothesis is proposed that these uses of intertextuality allow young readers a better connection with the novels and identification with their characters.
