The variety of definitions for textuality/textualities:
*Bibliography: physical instantiation of the text/work; Platonic/ideal
*Reception: Experience of reading as navigation or transformation: how readers move through a work and change it with the perspectives they bring
*DEATH of the Text: there is NO text
*Intentionality: where lies authority?
*Intertextuality: irreducibility of many texts into one
*The text is a network of possible interpretations that present multiple choices, yet within that network there may be fragmentary intimations of the real or the transcendent
*Biblography folds into reception
*The problem of the critical edition
*dynamic interplay between the one and the many; movement between the one and many
