Intertextuality

Since the start, people have been learning new things creating, manipulating ideas to take us where we are now, unfortunatlly nowadays there is nothing new or unique and any great work that has been produced has been influanced by some other work eaither intentionally or not.

In this weeks lecture we lernt about intertextuality. Intertextuality is the refrencing of media in one piece linked to a former one, this could be anying from clothing to painting's to games. intertexuality can be split into homage to recreate media in a respectfull/memorable way. It can also be split in to parody where people will use the previous media and recreate a more comedic version which in most cases taken at the expense of the previous media.

an example of a parody is the series family guy, they recreated 3 of stephen Kings stories in this case chainging the key aspects to have a comedic version, they reproduced "Shawshank's Redemption, Stand by me and misery. in the present day parody's are gaining popularity.
