Abstract

Textual cross-referencing is one of the major issues that characterize critical thinking. Between production and reception, the subject/reader is crossed by many forms of intertextual relations: rewriting, parody, prohibition, etc.; hence the reflection on intertextuality which has caused many inks to flow both in literary studies and in the sciences of language.

The present work begins a reflection on the relations between literary texts under the auspices of isotopic relations. It is therefore a question of establishing intertextual constructions on an isotopic basis between a mythological substrate, the Odyssey, and the work of Amélie Nothomb, La biographie de la Faim: les enchainements isotopiques vont être le lieu de la signification, of all the semic recurrences instead of remaining frozen only in a co-prresence relationship. We will show to what extent the recurrence of inherent and related semantic traits participates in the development of an intertextual continuum.
