This document discusses intertextuality in media texts. It defines intertextuality as when a text references another text. Examples are given of intertextuality in music videos, films, magazines, and television shows. Intertextuality can take the form of parody, pastiche, or homage. It is used by media creators to appeal to audiences through familiarity, nostalgia, cultural capital, originality, and subversion. However, overreliance on intertextuality can have detrimental effects and be a form of "weaponized intertextuality." The document provides tasks for students to analyze intertextuality in a music video and magazine cover.
