RESEARCH: Intertextuality


Intertextuality from candidate 5098

This is my first reference to intertextuality within my practical, the subtle references to the empowering storyline of 'Bend it like Beckham' almost mirror that post modernist representation I would like to incorporate within this practical piece. The modern take of a teenage girl and her unexpected interests with this physical sport compared to her parents traditional expectations and rules reflect similarly in the postmodernist representation moving away from the religious aspect and more onto self identification through gender. In a postmodern society, the traditional and expected norms and attitudes for women and men become more interchangeable and blurred, but are usually reinforced through parental expectations of their children or naturally through taught methods of communication in male and female orientated schools.
Saying this, this video doesn't reflect a possible 'bias' or 'unfair' representations presented by society and 'whats wrong' but rather focuses on a more individual approach in being true to yourself rather than adhering to expectations set by others.
