Books by Marko Juvan

Proposes a theory of literary discourse and literary history that take into account literariness as an important socio-cultural phenomenon and revisits several critical concepts, such as world literature, literary text, genre, style, fiction, literary space, and cultural memory.

Argues that while intertextuality is constitutive of all textuality it may be foregrounded in certain literary works, genres, or styles. This book surveys the field in order to ground the poetics of intertextuality in the history of its idea from Kristeva to New Historicism and citationality from Genette's late structuralism to text theory.
