PASTISH. Dayer R.

The book presents the first complete study of the widely used but poorly studied term “pastes” and its use. Richard Dyer claims that although this term is applicable to works containing a collage, it can also be used to describe the works that deliberately simulate previous works. With examples of classical literary pastys of Proust and texts in the text (play in the play in Hamlet, the show inside the show in the musical “Madly”) The author considers the use of the term “Pastish” to describe imitations designed to be understood and recognized precisely as it is precisely imitation. Further, the author analyzes the relationship of the pastes with the genre, criticism and emotions and analyzes in detail a wide range of examples-“Madambovariva”, “Nutcracker”, “African American Symphony”, spaghetti westers (“Once in the Wild West”), Neonuar and the film “Domested from Paradise ".
