"Intertextuality" by Graham Allen - Recommended in lecture. Good generalised view of intertextuality but not much use for films and models.
"Books in Motion: adaption, intertexuality, authorship" by Miereia Aragay (hehe even her name's intertextual as it remind's me of Aragog in Harry Potter!) starting pg 37 "Harry Potter and the Fidelity Debate" by Deborah Cartmell & Imelda Whelehan -discusses the translation from book to film with great insight and intertextual debate. Relevant to my Harry Potter case study especially.
"Film Theory: An Introduction" by Robert Lapsley & Michael Westlake -Lots about semiotics but not very much on intertextuality. Mentions Nietzsche at one point and as a former Philosophy student this struck a chord. Nietzsche's view that "there are no facts, only interpretations" would fit in with intertextuality as there is no vantage point outside of or above society so everything must be connected and inspired by something and be interpretations of each other.
"Intertextuality Debates and Contexts" by Mary Orr - lots of background information and knowledge and plenty of quotes and the author actually gives her viewpoint and not just an explanation, I found it useful to hear someone else's opinion of it. Questions and criticises it as a theory too citing "is it, like the story of 'the Emperor's new clothes', nonsense parading as grand theory?". And it starts with an awesome little poem ^^
"Supercaligramma-listic hypertextulosis,
Even though the sound of it is something quite precocious...
Meta-para-palimpsestic-intertextualitis,
Even thought the sound of it is medically frightening...
Mary Poppins coined the word that kids can say like lightning,
Yet intertextual as term will never r-hym(n)e with writing."
