Postmodernism: Lesson 1.

What we learned:

Intertextuality: Where a media text uses a feature from another media text to create a new layer of meaning.

E.g. Apocalypse Now uses the Vagner song from Birth of a nation to create a hidden meaning of racism.

Bricolage: Where a media text uses a referentiality taken from another media text to create a new meaning.

E.g. British gas advert used Vagner song too but not necessarily for a racist purpose.
