Talk:Pastiche

message: I have restructured the article to be more appropriate from an etymological-, logical-, and Wikipedia article- standpoint. The History section goes first to give the background of the word (or topic of the article in general). The hodge-podge definition goes second, because chronologically, it is the earliest (as is done in Wikipedia articles), and helps show etymological progression. Finally, the imitation definition comes last, as it is the latest etymological take on the word (it also concludes with the ostensible see-also section, which often concludes most general articles anyway.) Clearly this is a better format, rather than having the newest take on the word first (which could be argued as pushing a newer definition for priority.) 66.229.182.113 22:09, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I dispute the neutrality because of the comments about Tarantino; find a more neutral way of expressing the fact that his films are 'pastiche' but without saying "They're not original works of art- they're just copied." I don't mean to sound like one of the teen jerks on IMDB- I'm just pointing out the obvious bias the writer had against Tarantino's work. Andrewdt85 00:56, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm going to remove the opposition in the literary section between pastiche and parody.  Literary parody, as seminally defined by Linda Hutcheon, is in fact respectful.  It is indeed, innately respectful, for in the act of parody one assumes that the text parodied is worth the attention.  So, when Rushdie parodies Dickens on the first page of Midnight's Children, for example, it is not necessarily a mocking or disrespectful gesture. Mcgma709 02:29, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The article is currently about a word, not a concept, and it's rather obvious that it's supposed to concentrate on the latter. Please try to amend this.

replies: text: A concept is an abstraction. That is, when perceiving several objects, an observer mentally removes their inessential characteristics and retains only what is common to all of the objects. The abstract object that remains, with only the characteristics that all the objects shared, is a concept. For example, the concept of a dog is a mental object that has four legs, fur, panting tongue, and barks when the doorbell rings. In order to communicate this concept with each other, various humans have created signs, such as "chien," "Hund," "dog," and "perro." These signs are words. So, what is the concept that is designated by the word pastiche? Does the word designate more than one concept, such as "mixture" and "copy?" If it does, then the sign is an ambiguous word.Lestrade 23:29, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

message: In the "Pastiche as imitation" section, the following sentence occurs: Edvard Grieg's Holberg Suite was written as a conscious homage to the music of an earlier age. This is an example of the current use of the word "homage" to mean "imitation" or "copy." It is well to be aware when a word that has had an accepted, conventional meaning, like "homage," is used with a new, different meaning. In the same section, the phrase "pay tribute to" is also used as a euphemism for "imitation" or "copy". Lestrade 23:21, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Is this section necessary?  How does this novel and a fourth language called "Pastiche" say anything useful toward the word itself?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Spiralout987 (talk • contribs) 17:54, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Certain meanings could be considered synonyms or subtypes.  Worthy of a "see also" link (added) but not a merge, I think. -- Beland (talk) 01:14, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

message: The below was meandering and full of dubious claims which seem to be opinions unsupported by general academic consensus.  I replaced it with "Pastiche is a form of intertextuality, which is sometimes associated with postmodernism.". -- Beland (talk) 00:10, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia articles are generally about things, not words.  In the case of this article, several different concepts are being covered and this is inappropriate.    Should we split it? Considering the things/words distinction, is there anything that might constitute content forkery that can be merged elsewhere?  — Æµ§œš¹ [ãːɱ ˈfɹ̠ˤʷɪ̃ə̃nlɪ] 01:01, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

message: Weird Al does mostly parodies (or reinterpretations) of other famous songs with silly lyrics, but his pastiche "Dare to be Stupid" to Devo is a notable example that could be added to the examples in music/video.  https://you tu.be/ETyCK9mqhDI?t=586  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.156.255.250 (talk) 15:56, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
