Tuesday, 19 March 2019


INTERTEXTUALITY INFO

Lesson Objective:

K: The concept of intertextuality.
U: How the concept of intertextuality is used in media texts.
BAT: Analyse media texts using intertextuality.
CO: Use media terminology throughout.


Intertextuality is where a media product will use features from other different products. It is interconnected through various different ways. For example, allusion, claque, plagiarism, translation, pastiche and parody. This is used to influence the reader and it will become more relatable to add depth to the text.

Intertextuality simply means creating one text in reference to another. Intertextuality is not always obvious. References can only be recognised if you know what they are referring to. There are also cultural, social and linguistic limitations.
