Parody- A humorous or satirical imitation of a serious piece of literature or writing.
Pastiche- Imitating a design by not copying.
What is Jameson's definition of parody and pastiche?
Jameson characterises postmodern parody as 'blank parody' without any political bite.
Black Parody- straight copy of something.
Parody- 'Ulterior motives' - challenging the establishment.
Pastiche- 'Pastiche is, like parody, the imitation of a peculiar or unique, idiosyncratic style, the wearing of a linguistic mask, speech in a dead language. But it is a neutral practice of such mimicry, without any of parody's ulterior motives, amputated of the satiric impulse, devoid of laughter.' (Jameson, Postmodernism)

How does she criticise Jameson?
'Postmodernist recall of history is neither nostalgia nor aesthetic... It is true however that it does not offer what Jameson desires-'Genuine historicity'.
Jameson argues that in postmodernism 'Parody finds itself without a vacation'.
