La intertextualidad como camino a la comprensión desde una perspectiva latinoamericana

Miguel Alvarado-Borgoño

Abstract

This article revisits the concept of intertextuality from a philosophical perspective. Although this concept originated in philology, where it served an instrumental purpose for understanding historical or literary texts, it has since been adopted by postmodern and poststructuralist philosophy. In this article, we aim to move beyond the philological dimension that viewed intertextuality solely as a methodology, expanding its utility to the specifically philosophical realm. We also seek to transcend the ambiguity of poststructuralist and postmodernist philosophical positions, establishing it as a relevant category for the humanities and social sciences. We draw upon the philosophical framework, but with the concept of the subject as the axis of the intertextual dimension, which aligns with developments in critical Latin American philosophy. Thus, the way in which we philosophically reclaim the concept of the subject is fundamental, particularly regarding how individuals experience processes through intertextual options in their understanding of the world, and how scholars can utilize this same concept for their analysis. In this sense, understanding intertextuality means understanding how subjects choose meanings and set language in motion for the realization of society as social actors in social action.
