Platinum Greenwich Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 You can attribute "flame-colored paradise" from Velvet Crowbar and the various references to "flame-colored skies" in AFFA to Nabokov as well. Aren't these just literary references, though? I was under the impression intertextuality was something else... 2 Quote "Wild child, starry-eyed junkie, Coney Island Madonna, sick chanteuse and philosopher femme fatale... Lizzy Grant, ur everything"

CherryGalore Posted July 5, 2014 Author Posted July 5, 2014 Aren't these just literary references, though? I was under the impression intertextuality was something else... Intertextuality is the shaping of a text's meaning by another text. Intertextual figures include: allusion, quotation, calque, plagiarism, translation, pastiche and parody.[1][2][3] An example of intertextuality is an author’s borrowing and transformation of a prior text or to a reader’s referencing of one text in reading another. This is just from wikipedia. Oh yeah, that's totally right - like in Angels Forever she sings "paradise is a hell-coloured flame sky" and Nabokov writes: "A paradise whose skies were the color of hell-flames - but still a paradise." 1 Quote

evilentity Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Ah, this fancy schmancy term is such a throwback to my college days as an English major... Quick, let me go rename this thread "Is Beyoncé just a big exercise in Lana Del Rey intertextuality?" 7 Quote Stalking you has sorta become like my occupation.

Philomene Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 I was born to live fast, die youngLeave a beautiful corpse Live fast, die young and have a good-looking corpse! - John Derek 0 Quote
CherryGalore Posted July 5, 2014 Author Posted July 5, 2014 I was born to live fast, die young Leave a beautiful corpse Live fast, die young and have a good-looking corpse! - John Derek “Live fast, die young and have a good-looking corpse!” "The first quote has been slightly rearranged over the years. It comes from a 1949 movie called Knock on Any Door, starring Humphrey Bogart as a liberal-minded lawyer trying to save a young hoodlum accused of murder. The hoodlum, Pretty Boy Romano, was played by John Derek who was, indeed, one of the best- looking actors who ever stood before a camera. The exact phrase, as he said it in the movie, was: “I wanna live fast, die young and leave a beautiful corpse.” http://www.thetimes.co.za/Columnists/Article.aspx?id=718241 1 Quote
