Pastiche : cultural memory in art, film, literature
Ingeborg Hoesterey (Author)
"Cultural theorists see contemporary society marked by radical hybridity in manifold social practices. Pastiche is about cultural memory as a history of seeing and writing. One of the markers that sets aesthetic postmodernism apart from modernism - nolens volens categories for the author - are artistic practices that borrow ostentatiously from the archive of Western culture, which modernism, in its search for the unperformed, tended to dismiss."--Jacket
