This paper explores different types of intertextuality in postmodern art and literature. There is no work individually complete and self-iconic; rather, each work achieves a new reality conveying the influence of other contemporary or previous works and authors. The literary works in any genre of one decade keep a certain connection which is intertextual net. The authors, consciously and unconsciously, bring up explicit and implicit references of other works glorifying or mocking the past works. Though a work can be representation of any fact or social reality, it must be a product of the imitation of multiple imitations and gets a state which leaves no connection with its origin. Therefore, any work cannot be considered as complete without the influence of other works. Every artistic work is influenced by other previous works and bears intertextual elements. It is a qualitative research based on content analysis method. This research brings out different types of intertextual elements in arts and literature from postmodern perspective.

Justice is fundamental in every nation building process as most nations have prioritised criminal justice system in which criminal sanctions and incarcention are inherent. To operational this form of justice, some nations especially Cameroon have enacted legal texts to ease its implementation notably, the penal code and the New Criminal Procedure Code. Contrary to criminal justice, restorative justice which is based on making amends is a key feature of African culture. This paper therefore aims at analysing aspects of Papiackum Witticism as speech acts to show the relationship between criminal offences and restorative justice. From the theoretical praxis of Functionalism, this paper operates on the premise that in Papiackum worldview, the concept of restorative justice is highlighted via its norms and values when criminal behaviours are proven. The Papiackum is a speech community in the Ngoketunjia Division, North West region of the Republic of Cameroon.
