Intertextuality?

Hmm... what is Intertextuality?

In my research about the definition of intertextuality that I saw from reference.com that intertextuality is actually a shaping of texts meaning by other texts. In Daniel Chong class, Daniel said it can refer to an author's or director's that borrowing and transformation some other's author's or director's work and has been adapted in cultural and media studies to identify examples of parody. However, intertextuality itself has introduced by Julia Kristeva in 1966 who is a Poststructuralist.

So here is the example I found in Youtube



In this video that provides a detail definition of intertextuality ,however, I'm very thankful for them to show me some of the examples :) Anyway , I find the starting music and words that actually intertextuality to Star Wars! Doesn't it?

and some examples I found in Facebook
In the fashion modern world that show in the right image actually intertextuality to the left image after several years, but it's still cool!


Everytime we see explosion at the back of the people in movie, then we think of it actually intertextuality to another movie :) 


So do this, they are intertextuality from MIB poster

  1. What did you think of the video? Did you recognize the references they highlighted? Tarantino or Apocalypse Now?

    Would you say the little girl walking coolly away from the explosion is a satire or homage?

    Be sure to comment on the images you post ya. Tx!
