Intertextuality in Pop Culture
Intertextuality is everywhere in pop culture
these days. Every time there is a best selling book, a movie is made. If the
movie gets popular then comes clothing, posters, and other miscellaneous items.
One example is Duck Dynasty. It is reality TV show of the family that created
duck calls. This show is very popular among my family and friends. After a good
first season, it became popular all over the United States and around the
world. You can buy Duck Dynasty koozies, t-shirts, rugs, blankets, posters,
anything. Another example of this kind of intertextuallity is the Fifty Shades
of Grey Fad. Fifty Shades of Grey is a book trilogy of a dominant man and his
submissive that fall in love. It is a kinky, yet classy book. This book became
popular in the last year or two. Now you can buy all the sex toys online and
they are going to make a movie.

I agree with you that Intertextuality is everywhere these days and has been for many years. Also with Fifty Shades of Grey there was a time I would hear almost everyone talking about it, going to buy it or even comparing it to there lives. I have never read iy myself but it would be interesting to see the movie.
ReplyDeleteI read all three books of the trilogy and loved them! I am a little nervous for the movie and I think it will not be what I have pictured in my head so it will ruin it for me.
