    • 1967 April, Julia Kristeva, “Bakhtine, le mot, le dialogue et le roman”, in Critique:
      [] tout texte se construit comme mosaïque de citations, tout texte est absorption et transformation d’un autre texte. À la place de la notion d’intersubjectivité s’installe celle d’intertextualité, et le langage poétique se lit, au moins, comme double.
