LESSON 7: CONTEXT

OF TEXT
DEVELOPMENT
Quarter 2: Reading and Writing Skills
Prepared by: Krely Dizon
What is CONTEXT?
◦Context is defined as the social, cultural,
political, historical and other related
circumstances that surround the text and form
the terms from which it can be better
understood and evaluated through hypertext
and intertext.
In discovering a text’s context, you
may ask the following questions:
◦1. When was the work written?
◦2. What were the circumstances
that produced it?
◦3. What issues deal with it?
Directions!

◦Try to think other stories or


films that may resemble
the following movies.
Intertextuality
◦Inter- To form words meaning
between or among groups of
people, things or places.
◦Text- The written words in a book or
other reading materials.
Intertextuality
◦The shaping of a text meaning by another
text.
◦It is derived from the Latin word
“Intertexto”, meaning to intermingle while
weaving.
◦A term first introduced by French
semiotician Julia Kristeva in the late sixties.
Intertextuality
◦A literary work is not simply the
product of a single author, but of its
relationship to other texts and to
the structures of language itself.
◦Any text is constructed of a mosaic
of quotations.
Types of Intertextuality
◦1. Allusion
◦An expression that calls attention to
something without explicitly mentioning it.
◦A type of figure of speech that references
a famous person, place, event, or literary
work.
◦Often called a “passing reference”
Examples

◦“Thank you, my Hercules”.


◦“Thank you, Romeo”.
Example
An Introduction
By Kamala Das
Examples
◦Beowulf is an interesting example of
intertextuality because the monster, Grendel,
is said to be a descendant of the Biblical
figure of Cain. The first Beowulf poet would
probably have assumed his reader would
have understood this allusion and, indeed,
know a great deal about the Bible stories.
Types of Intertextuality
◦2. Parody
◦When one piece of writing uses
many of the same elements of
another but does it in a new and
funny way.
Types of Intertextuality
◦3. Pastiche
◦Borrows elements from one or more works
and reconfigures them to create
something new
◦A reworking of an original work but not
humorous as parody
◦A respectful type of borrowing that gives
credit to the original and it is not
plagiarism
Example
Pacific Rim by Warner Bros is
intertextual to Japanese
movie genre “Kaiju” which
means big monster
Example
◦Wrath of the Titans by Warner Bros
◦ A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus—the demigod son of
Zeus—is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-
year old son, Helius. Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the
Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity's lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of
the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers
Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago,
leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the
cavernous underworld. Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus'
godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramírez), switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus.
The Titans' strength grows stronger as Zeus' remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is
unleashed on earth. Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike),
Poseidon's demigod son, Argenor (Toby Kebbell), and fallen god Hephaestus (Bill Nighy),
Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus,
overthrow the Titans and save mankind.
Other Types of Intertextuality

◦1. Latent - is when


intertextuality used
inadvertently
◦2. Deliberate-is when used
consciously
3 Strategies to Apply Intertextuality

◦1. Association
◦2. Integration
◦3. Evaluation
Activity: Write, Sing and Laugh!
Instructions:

1. The class will be grouped into 4 groups.


2. Each group will write a parody song of their choice.
3. Each group will be given a maximum of 10 minutes to
perform their parody song in front of the class.
4. Please, note that before the presentation of each group, the
group must submit first their hard copy of their parody song and
the copy of the original song to the teacher.
◦Which do you prefer
reading digital books
or printed books?
Hypertext

◦Hyper- above, beyond


◦Text- The original words
and form of a written or
printed work.
Hypertext
◦Nelson (1987) described hypertext as a
series of chunks connected by links
that offer readers different pathways.
◦It is non-linear or multi linear, non-
sequential, nodal and allows for the
reader’s navigation control.
Hypertext

◦Ted Nelson coined the words


“hypertext” and “hypermedia”
in 1965 and worked with Andires
Van Dam to develop the
hypertext editing system in 1968.
Hypertext

◦When you type a word and


attach a link to that word so
that upon clicking on that
word, the reader is sent to
the site attached.
Hypertext
Hypertext is simply defined as a nonlinear
way of presenting information. This
information shows
as links and is usually accessed by clicking.
The reader can find more information
about a topic, which may have more links.
Hypertext
◦Hypertext- text only
◦Hypermedia- Not just a text but also
images, sounds, animation or
videos
◦Multimedia- linking images, videos,
sounds and texts
