Intertextuality is the relationship between texts, especially literary ones. Three types of intertextuality are obligatory, optional, and accidental. Obligatory intertextuality is when the writer deliberately invokes a comparison or association between two, or more, texts. Optional intertextuality is when the intertextual relationship that if recognized the connection will slightly shift the understanding the connection of the text. Accidental intertextuality is when readers often a text with another text, cultural practice or a personal experience, without there being any tangible anchor point within the original text.
1. The first picture at the top there is originally a picture of Barack Obama in the blue and red filter with the words "HOPE" at the bottom as a way to promote his presidential campaign. The one I have inserted their is The Simpsons' parody version of this poster with Homer Simpson in Obama's place without the "HOPE" on the bottom. 2. The second picture up there is an original painting by Grant Wood, depicting what he believed people in the American Gothic times would look like if they were living in an American Gothic home. What I have inserted is a picture of two minions from the movie 'Despicable Me' in the place of the man and the woman in the original painting. 3. The third and final picture is originally an album cover for The Beatles' album 'Abbey Road'. I would say it's one of the most well-known and recognized album cover, whether or not someone has listened to The Beatles before. The one I have submitted is The Simpson's parody version of that album cover, but with their family instead of The Beatles.

Exercise: Look at a magazine cover. What can you tell about the type of magazine it is; what kinds of articles it contains; who is likely to read it? Why? 1. I can tell that this is an entertainment and celebrity magazine. It focuses on celebrities and their rise to fame. It could be particular to females since it's titled 'Beauty And Brain', but it could go for both genders. Regardless of that, I think it'll discuss how no matter what your looks are, you have to have the same effort in your work ethic in order to become successful. 2. I think it'll contain articles on how different celebrities or maybe it'll focus on one celebrity monthly and include interviews where that specific celebrity talks about their journey to fame and success and all of the hard work they did to get to where they are now, hence the no pain no gain subtitle. It can have articles on the hardships and failures these celebrities endured before their hard work finally shone through. 3. I think young people that are looking to be in the same place that these celebrities are in will read this. I think they'll be interested in learning about what kind of schooling or training all celebrities went through or it'll be inspiring and motivating for the person to understand that everyone starts from the bottom and works their way up, regardless of where they're at in life in the end. The subtitles on the front page use a lot of words alluding to education and career, so I think that's to catch the eye of just the right person who's curious on what steps they have to take to be in that same job field. |
