Abstract

Intertextuality looks at the text as an open window, receiving texts and other cultures, interacting with the fabric of significance and context to provoke the awareness of the recipient, and motivate him to extrapolate new visions and ideas. This study aims to search for the forms of intertextuality and its working mechanisms in selected models from the texts of the Egyptian playwright "Mohamed Salmawy", who is considered a prominent science from the second wave of Egyptian theater writers that came after the renaissance of the sixties. The researcher chose a number of his theatrical texts (Foot We have to reel - the killer outside the prison - two underground - Salome) for the clarity of the intertextuality in its different patterns, which gives the reader the effectiveness of awareness, accountability and serious participation in constructing meaning by comparing the present and absent structures. The research has proven that it is inevitable for the writer to intertwine with other creations, whether he is conscious of that or not, since every text emanates from the cells and tissues of previous texts. The research also clarified the diversity of forms of intertextuality in Salmawy's chosen texts between internal and external, intentional and spontaneous, formal and content, and their interaction with the texts of different culture, whether literary, religious, historical or heritage, in harmony and contrast to serve the writer's political and social vision.
