At the beginning of this lesson I was told that I will have to research two styles of post-modern media that I had not been taught yet in the course. I was handed an envelope containing the two post-modern style that I had to research, these were Parody's and Pastiche. Pastiche to me was a respectful imitation of somebody else's writing or music. "Parody" implies making fun of something.
Pastiche is a new word for me, but that's how I understand the difference: pastiche was a friendly tribute kind of imitation and parody was somewhere on the negative continuum, somewhere from gently teasing to out and out insulting.
