Intertextuality

Intertextuality

Intertextuality is the relationship between texts. It's the way that similar or related texts influence, reflect, or differ from each other: the intertextuality between two novels with the same setting.

John Stuart and Julia Kristeva had very similar theories. Stuart said that modern edia 'incorporates raids and reconstructs'. Kristeva said that 'any text is the absorption and transformation of another'. As said, both theories mean basically the same thing.

 




 
As shown on the images, in 'Let me entertain you' from Robbie Williams, Robbie tried to take the mick out of the kuboki kind of faces used by Kiss in their band. Watching Robbie's video it seems as though that because Robbie's song is more of a rock type of song this time, he has tried to put more of a rock based feel to the promo. However, it can be argued whether this music promo is a micky take or whether it has a serious point to it.
