Intertextuality

Intertextuality is the theory that all media texts are interrelated, and can only be defined by their relations with others, it is the shaping of texts' meanings by using other texts. Here are a few examples.

Madonna's - 'What it feels like for a girl' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYwgG2oyUbA
The track contains a spoken introduction by actress Charlotte Gainsbourg taken from the 1993 film version of the Ian McEwan novel, The Cement Garden.

The song describes the pressure women feel to conform to social norms of politeness and subservience.
