- Abstract
The following article describes some aspects of what it considers to be a new form of intertextuality and its effects on social life. Given that the world we live in today falls under the description of simulacra by J. Baudrillard and the totality of the text by J. Derrida, but this text is not closed within its borders, as R. Barthes put it, and on the contrary, is opened and is being voluntarily interlined with other texts, which are produced and reproduced constantly by a great number of authors, what is made largely through the process of online communication, those interlinked texts come in such great numbers and across so many mediums or platforms that, as M. McLuhan put it, everything is happening simultaneously, one could argue that the reality as we know it, becomes surrounded or enhanced by this virtual reality of interlinked texts. And those processes are happening within the reality of texts, but at the same time are affecting our usual reality of people, even causing changes in social dynamics. So the new intertextuality is not only not staying within the borders of a single text, it’s now not even staying within the borders of its own reality.
