The Nibelungen Museum opened august 2001 in Worms, Germany. It is as far as we know, the first museum entirely dedicated to a myth. The conception of the Museum has been performed by a multidisciplinary franco-german team coordinated by the Cultural Laboratory A+H (Olivier Auber and Bernd Hoge). Its achievement involved many innovative technologies such as Virtual Reality and Real Time music. This paper describes how we conceived the museum as a cultural heritage as well as a tool of sustainable development for the city of Worms.

In the light of Roland Barthes’s theories on the relationship between text and intertext, this article aims at exploring the importance of intertextuality in the contemporary critical discourse from the perspective of "intertextual material" seen as a key notion of poetics (as intertextuality arouses multiple questionings: literary, linguistic, epistemological) and of poietics (the material being one of its fundamental concepts, the object of various theories developed by Paul Valéry, Étienne Gilson, René Passeron or Irina Mavrodin). We consider that this concept can open new perspectives to the questioned domains: thus, the material enters the logic of intertextuality as a dynamic operator of creation, integrated into a process (poienin), whereas intertextuality brings to poietics an approach to the notion of "creative impersonality" and to the status of the creative self.
