Parody and Pastiche

“The disappearance of the individual subject, along with its formal consequence, the increasing unavailability of the personal style, engender the well-nigh universal practice today of what may be called pastiche.” Jameson (1991, p16) discussed postmodernism as stepping into late capitalism, a field formed by a variety of styles, including pastiche, formed the “disappearance” of following after personal styles.

Hutchenon (1986) suggested parody as "representation rather than recycling" of a story, it is suggested as a artefact making humour referring to the existing problem.
Yet Jameson defined postmodernism pastiche as 'blank' parody, reflecting on fact that animations being recycled.
