What is Inter-Textuality?

Intertextuality is shaping a text's meaning by another text.
Intertextual includes: allusion, quotation, translation, plagiarism, translation, pastiche and parody.
Meaning visual and text support each other to create a MEANING.

Now lets see a work by the late Ismail Zain, entitled Al - Kesah


you see the whole cast of Dallas ( a popular soap drama TV in the 80's - standing in front of a kampung house - what he wants to show is, everyone in the whole world knows who the hell is JR. ( from Melaka to Zimbabwe ). In 2016, everyone knows John Cena, Ultraman/Doreamon and now Pokemon monsters.

Like what Mcluhan mentioned Global Village, same language, same emoji and etc....

a brilliant inter-text work done by our reliable pirated dvd seller

the grand-daddy off all René Magritte - The Treachery of Images





Ok, lets experience inter-text beyond the gallery

binawe punya restaurant, i laughed at the very moment i saw this
 
a road that i just found....


Let me share you a real story, my pal texted me
 Andy, which hotel you recommend that is cheap and clean in Penang? 

I replied " u can check A Hotel."......

Friend "huh? A hotel? Hotel mana? 

I replied again " A Hotel la..." ...you jgn buat lawak bro, I serious ni bro".....

Betul la mangkuk.....A Hotel....

Nah....


For anyone who likes these sort of stuffs, you can check Saussure's, Foucault,Barthes and Baudrillard  Structuralist and Post-Structuralist.

The concept of "self" as a singular and coherent entity is a fictional construct, and an individual rather comprises conflicting tensions and knowledge claims (e.g. gender, class, profession, etc). The interpretation of meaning of a text is therefore dependent on a reader's own personal concept of self.

In other words, its entirely up to you. 

Next is Meta - Narrative.
