Intertextuality

John Stewart and Julia Kristeva's theories about how media texts are constructed


John Stewart: modern media "incorporates, raids and reconstructs"
Julia Kristeva: "any text is the absorption and transformation of another"

These two are basically saying that media takes ideas from other media and uses them either with some edits or just copies them.
I think this is partly true as there are similarities within stuff if the same genre e.g. lots of action movies has the protagonist discovering and stopping the antagonists plans in the end.
