Abstract
This dissertation conducts the intertextual analysis between Gibran and the Western Culture (Nietzsche and Rousseau as a model), using Bazerman’s (2004) model of intertextuality. The research sheds light on the process of influence and transformation of the texts of Gibran’s The Prophet and Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra and Gibran’s The Prophet and On Children and Rousseau’s Emile, or On Education and The Social Contract when situated in the context of culture. The research also aims at showing how texts are drawn from other texts and are influenced by them. The research reveals that all the explicit and implicit elements of intertextuality between selected texts foregrounded how Gibran created his thought from a particular culture to create ruptures in the European culture. Further, the research proves that there are visible similarities in some ideas and beliefs between the selected texts. All texts affect and are affected by each others.
