Intertextuality

Intertextuality refers to creating one text by referencing another through borrowing elements like dance moves, characters, or plots. This can create layers of meaning and is used widely across media like books, music, films and television. There are several types of intertextual references including pastiche which imitates genres in a lighthearted way, parody which ridiculously mimics another's style, nostalgia which longs for the past, and homage which pays tribute to admire someone or something.

Intertextuality

 Creating one text in reference to another


 There are many intertextual references in books, music, radio, TV, film.
 E.g. Justin Timberlake performs Michael Jackson dance moves
 Much more than just borrowing it’s a device by which writers/ directors/ performers create
layers of meaning that are at times hidden.

Types

 Pastiche- An imitation of a narrative or film genre. Similar to parody but more gentle and
respectful to the original. Made to create light humour
 Parody- Work that mimics, in an absurd or ridiculous way, the conventions and style of
another work.
 Nostalgia - a wistful or excessively sentimental yearning for return to or of some past period
or irrecoverable condition
 Homage - Expression of a high regard/ respect for a legend or well-known celebrity. It can be
a tribute and is done to honour or admire someone or something.
 Plagiarism- the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as
one's own.
