    AND INTERTEXT
    What is a text?
    What is a Text?
    • A text is a piece of writen or spoken material in it’s primary
    form.
    • It may be as simple as 1-2 words (such as a stop sign) or as
    complex as a novel
    CONTEXT
    Is the social, cultural, political and historical background and
    other related circumstances that surrounds the text.
    We must look at the back ground of the text.
    What was the environment which the text was made?
    Who was the author?
    When was it written?
    Why was it written that time? Or for whom the text?
    Context
    •The time or period the text was written.
    Context
    •What circumstances produced the text.
    CONTEXT
    •Issues the text tackles or deals with.
    • The CONTEXT simply the
    background of the text
    socially, politically, culturally
    and circumstances.
    Hypertext
    •Hypertext alludes, derives from, or relates to an earlier
    work (hypotext). For example, James Joyce’s Ulysses
    (1920) could be regarded as one of the many hypertexts
    deriving from Homer’s Odyssey (700 BC); Angela
    Carter’s “The Tiger’s Bride” (1991) can be considered a
    hypertext which relates to an earlier work, or hypotext,
    the original fairy-story Beauty and the Beast (1740).
    Hypertext Hypertext
    The Odyssey Ulysses (1920)
    (700 BC)
    Hypotext Hypertext
    The Beauty & The Beast The Tiger’s Bride
    (1740) (1991)
    Hypertext
    • Hypertext is a non-linear way to present information
    and is usually accomplished using “links.”
    •Hypertext is a text displayed on a computer display or
    other electronic devices with references to other text that
    the reader can immediately access.
    Hypertext
    •Hypertext allows readers to access information
    particularly suited to their needs.
    •Example, if a reader still needs more background on a
    particular item that a text is discussing, such as when a
    reader does not know a particular term being used, the
    reader can choose to click/tap that term and access a
    page that defines the term and describes it.
    What is intertext?
    INTERTEXT
    ►Intertext is the shaping of a text’s meaning by
    another text. It is the interconnection between
    similar or related works of literature that reflect
    and influence an audience’s interpretation of the
    text.
    Star Wars

    •Family Guy used intertextuality on Star Wars in one of their episodes


    however they changed it slightly to suit the programmes audience with
    the same story.
    • As shown in both posters they both have very similar characteristics,
    same characters in the same positions, same text in the bottom right and
    the iconic spaceship of Star Wars is in the same place.
    Nightmare on Elm Street

    • Another example of intertextuality is “Nightmare on Sesame Street’


    when they made their own version of Nightmare on Elm Street.
    • Both posters have the same similarities with the main character in the
    bed in the middle of the poster with a metal claw dangling above his
    head. You also have the villain at the top of the poster in both posters.
