:worried: hey everybody,

i hope ur all studying well!!!

i have a question for text and ways of thinking: pomo.

in regards to pulp fiction, i'm having difficulty picking out two elements: gender and intertextuality. gender im not really fretting about, but i know theres heaps of interetextuality, and i just can't pick it out.

would someone with pulp fiction notes be able to provide some insight into this isutation. i'm dying here!!!

thanks a heap

I'm not sure in the HSC context, but I have studied Pulp at uni:

Pul relies heavily on 50s/60s film (see American Graffiti). It's also a heavily genre film, like most Tarantino film. Drugs/violence etc are all cliches, there is nothing original about them. Tarantino casting himself is also somewhat intertextual - it calls reference to his role in Reservoir Dogs for example. Look at Sam L Jackson's use of the Bible too - that's a text.

Thats all I can think of, good luck
