Summary/Abstract: In the first part, this article introduces the approach of interdiscourse theory or interdiscourse analysis as it has been developed since the early 1980s at the universities of Bochum, Dortmund, and Duisburg-Essen in literary and cultural studies. In the more detailed second part, three examples are given to show how interdiscourse analysis can be applied in literary and cultural studies. It proceeds from the small to the large, from the simple to the complex, from the analysis of individual interdiscursive elements to that of entire literary-cultural groupings, and from there to the question of how individual and collective identities can be thought from the perspective of interdiscourse theory. It concludes with a brief summary of possible steps in an interdiscourse analysis of the kind presented here.
