The document discusses intertextuality and postmodernism. Intertextuality refers to the relationships between texts or how creative works reference each other. Postmodernism emerged in the 1960s and challenges conventions and theories through self-conscious references to previous styles and genres. Examples are provided of how Lady Gaga's music videos contain intertextual references, such as shots that reference the film Chicago and Kill Bill, as well as imagery that references the Rolling Stones.

1. Intertextuality &
postmodernism

2. What is it?
 Postmodernism: this came about from around the 1960’s onwards.
Postmodernism in media plays with the conventions of a certain
area, making us think about how they are constructed and maybe
even challenge theories of the media. The oxford dictionary defines
postmodernism as “a late 20th-century style and concept in the arts,
architecture, and criticism, which represents a departure from
modernism and is characterized by the self-conscious use of earlier
styles and conventions, a mixing of different artistic styles and
media, and a general distrust of theories.”
 Intertexuality: “the relationship between texts” , this is how texts or
media work makes reference to another text or type of media work.

 This shot in lady gaga’s video can be seen as an example of intertextuality.
This shot of women in a prison dancing could be seen as a reference to the
film ‘chicago’ where it carries the same concept.

the movie ‘kill bill’ which can be seen in lady

5.  In the video of justice-d.a.n.c.e, many intertextual
references are made. one we can see here is that of a
replica of a rolling stones sign on the artist’s top.
