Intertexuality


The Abba reference, with the heads of the major players in "Brexit" campaign on the front page of this issue of the big issue shows us that there a piece of humour to whole ordeal. This is due to the fact that the people in the picture featuring David Camera and Borris Johnson at the front, are saying puns from different Abba songs. 

The Page also uses puns that relate to their standing on Brexit campaign. As Nicola Sturgeon who appears on the far left, is for staying in the EU along with David Cameran who is standing to her right. Whereas Borris Johnson and NIgel Farage, who are standing to their right with Borris next to David. The Abba group has been split down the middle of the page with for Brexit on the right and against Brexit on the left. Nicola Sturgeons pun also is a reference to her role in the Scottish referendum about whether to stay in the UK.

The image includes various imagery including ballet paper in the background to show the voting and having a sparkly background reminiscent of the 70's with the pop culture of the time.

The use of intertextuality in this front page is excellent as every person and image has been for a reason and links between many different aspects of the people included front their political career to their personal feels on the matter.
