Media Theory: Pastiche and Parody [WIP]

During our Theory lessons I had learned about the use of Pastiche and Parody.

Although I already knew what parody meant, finding the actual definition gave me a much better understanding of the idea.

Both terms can be considered part of post-modernism as they both take the idea of re-using and recycling old ideas.

Pastiche: Making reference to a previous piece of literature or media in celebration

Parody: Making reference to a previous piece of literature or media in criticism, ridicule or humour.
