Intertextuality: (RE) Interpreting Dante's Inferno and the Postmodern World in Gaiman's Season of Mists The study is built upon the belief that an act of creation does not take place in isolation, especially for a writer, who is inevitably linked equally with the age and time to which he belongs, as well as to the past. Gaiman’s work is part of the postmodern scenario as the world he creates is a response to the postmodern norms and characteristics, which propagated the idea of meaning being unstable and multiple. The study is a comparative analysis, through the lens of intertextuality, of Dante’s The Inferno with the Graphic Novel series The Sandman Vol. 4 ‘Season of Mist’. The research questions that guide the analysis are to compare the selected works in terms of how the classic is transmuted into the current with the aim to highlight the prevalent themes of the postmodern era and the shape given to them in the selected work. The theoretical framework based on the hermeneutic circle and the theory of intertextuality has been utilized to explore what this still new and emerging form of the graphic novel contributes to narrative representation, and the understanding its readers can gain about the contemporary world from works that are both verbal and visual. It attempts to highlight how the social and the fantastic meet to create an intertextual referential framework that can help us in understanding the world within which we live. Riddled with references to other literary or popular texts, Gaiman’s works create meaning based on the knowledge he possesses as writer and creator, and in light of the age to which he belongs. The study attempts to frame within the present moment and the increasing accessibility of this new literary and popular genre, how the graphic novel has become part of an expanding literary field of contemporary fiction and its contribution to narrative representation by explaining the visual and the verbal modes.
