Description
Summary:In this article the functioning of parody and pastiche as postmodern strategies in Swart koring [Black Wheat] by Joan Hambidge are investigated. Firstly, the concepts of parody and pastiche within traditional and postmodern theoretical frameworks are discussed to clarify the distinction between these two closely related concepts. Secondly, the ways in which popular culture is undermined through the functioning of parody and pastiche and how this process operates within two specific post-modern manifestations will be explored. These manifestations include the disappearance of boundaries between high and popular literature and the manifestation of mass culture.
