Document Summary
It works against discourses that take themselves seriously. Satire implies ridicule of some subject, parody may not. Like irony, parody offers up more than one meaning, it embodies ambivalence and ambiguity. Hallmark of contemporary culture is that it references aspects of culture through parody, satire, or appropriation. Much of what we see in media references other media. Appropriation can be understood as the use of borrowed of borrowed elements in the creation of a new work. In the visual arts, to appropriate means to adopt, borrow, recycle or sample aspects (or the entire form) of man-made visual culture. In many cases the original "thing" remains accessible as the original, without significant change. Remix is a broader term that includes literary, visual, and performing arts. It is understood that the new work re-contextualises whatever it borrows to create the new work.
