N2  - "Richard Dyer's Pastiche is a study of the poetics and politics of this widely used, seldom examined term. Dyer argues that while pastiche can be used to describe works which contain montage or collage, it can also be used to describe works which are knowing imitations of previous works. Considering first of all the many things the term is used to refer to, the book then focuses on pastiche as a term to describe imitations that are meant to be understood and appreciated as imitations." "Dyer argues for the value of pastiche as a practice that cuts through some of the commonplaces of critical discussion, showing that a work can be critical of something without having to be paradocally distant from it, able to acknowledge the history of its own emotional effects without in the process ceasing to be moving. Pastiche is a key concept within film and cultural studies, and Dyer's text is the first full study of the term and its usage."--BOOK JACKET
