Pastiche Pastiche Cultural Memory in Art, Film, Literature Ingeborg Hoesterey Traces the rise of pastiche in the arts and popular culture.
Postmodern pastiche is about cultural memory as a history of seeing and writing.
One of the markers that sets aesthetic postmodernism apart from modernism is artistic practice that borrows ostentatiously from the archive of Western culture, which modernism, in its search for the unperformed, tended to dismiss.
