One form of this pleasure comes in recognising the reference in one media text to other media texts. This process of referencing is called intertextuality.

Intertextuality can be demonstrated in several ways in the media. Here are a few: Parody, pastiche and homage Mimicry Marketing of media texts Reviews of media texts in other media forms Media performers working in more than one media form.Parody, pastiche and homage

Show video5Parody, pastiche and homageTarantino recognizes this secret truth: all movies are rip-offs of something else. They all borrow, beg, and steal. They are an amalgamation, a mix, a sampling of others. A pastiche.

Kill Bill films, with their relentless sampling of international movie traditions ranging from French New Wave to Hong Kong kung fu, to Japanese samurai, to Italian spaghetti western showcase in an extreme form of filmmaking that openly acknowledges that art is a mix of other texts and styles.MimicryOften this borrowing of a text to link it to a second one is stylistic. This means that a text will mimic or otherwise copy certain stylistic features of another text. Usually this is donein order to create a particular impact, although there may be instances where this borrowing may seem simply a matter of convenience to give a music video, for example, a particular look. For the reader of the image, however, the connotative power of the original text is likely to be carried through into the new text.Marketing of media texts
