Lots of writings...and discussions...
Notes from the reading that was on Thursday are on Aaron's blog.
Now, the notes on Intertextuality:
1) Writer has the agency; writer controls the intertextual references.
Selectively quote...writers control the texts to make it their way...
2) Why do you want to be in control of it? The intertextual references do important rhetorical work.--p. 85 VERBS!!!
Verbs: particular words...evokes! Passing judgement, as well as implying...
Intertextuality in movies!
How is he choosing to incorporate other people's opinions on things:
Clips he chooses, and quotes:
How he references them...the peeps...
He uses the other texts, newspapers, to comment on the movie. He puns their names, those of the newspapers, and he only says three quotes...
He's skipping the second one, for "racy subject matter"
In the third, he makes fun of "stoners"...he pulls quotes from different newspapers, again, to make comments on the movie. For the first one, he says two positive and one negative. For the third, he says two negative and one positive. It seems as though he wants us to not like it.
Intertextual:
1) direct quotation
2) indirect quotation
3) mentioning a person, idea
4) comment/evaluation of an idea or text
5) referring to general ideas of a subject person
Harold and Kumar: How the writer set up the review of the reviews--summary/judgement
He makes an argument, more of one than the other reviewers. You don't come to see it for the plot. More of a shock-comedy; pulled out the clips to prove this. He didn't give the audience a chance to like the movie. He plays upon the "stoner" role as soon as the clips are over. Makes it appear that, if one likes the movie, he/she is a "stoner".
"Not the target audience"--making up fake "direct" quotations.
