Intertextuality refers to references made from one media text to another. There are several types of intertextuality including pastiche, parody, homage, calque, translation, hybridity, and bricolage. Pastiche mimics another work's style as an affectionate nod, parody copies another work's style to comment on it in a lighthearted way, and homage pays respect through similar style or characters. Examples provided illustrate these concepts.

2. What is Intertextuality?
Intertextuality refers to the process of creating references to
any kind of media text via another media text. In other words.
Intertextuality essentially means for a type of media (film,
television, music etc.) to pay homage to another media text.
Types of Intertextuality:
• Pastiche
• Parody
• Homage
• Calque
• Translation
• Hybridity
• Bricolage

3. A pastiche is something that copies or mimics elements of another works style, possibly in
a humorous way but usually just as an affectionate nod to another artists work. While the
artist may have made the pastiche in homage, the work itself does not necessarily make
any points favorable or unfavorable about the original. In a sense, it is a collection of
references. An example for Pastiche is Marilyn Monroe performing in film Gentlemen
prefer blondes and Madonna doing a similar thing in her music video in Material Girl.
Madonna wears a similar pink dress as Marilyn and has pretty much the same setting in
the background also Madonna’s hair is also alike like Monroe’s

4. Parody is the practice of copying the mannerisms, style or
appearance of a work or its author’s voice to make a point about the
work. Parody is generally gentler than satire, it is often good-natured
or affectionate. It only attacks the style and content of a fictional
work and not real life events. It often exaggerates features of the
original. An example for this sort is from a famous youtuber named
Bart Baker doing a parody of Uptown funk ft Bruno Mars

5. Homage is a way of giving respect to an existing performer or
media text. Characters may adapt a similar look and style to pay
tribute to the celebrities in the past. An example of this is in Justin
Timberlake’s music video Take back the Night paying a tribute to
Michael Jackson as the music video features some on-the-street
flair seen in Michael Jackson’s iconic Billie Jean video
A word or a phrase that is borrowed from a foreign
language or text. An example is from Christina
Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mya and Pink's song, Lady
Marmalade, where they draw on the French
burlesque show of Moulin Rouge which inspires the
entire video.

6. Translation is when a message of a text is
changed into another form but having
drawn on the message. An example is from
Uptown funk ft Bruno Mars and youtuber
Bart Baker singing totally different lyrics.

7. Bricolage is a collection or collage of
different media text which forms one text.
Hybrid forms are said to level
hierarchies of taste.
