Abstract

This study interrogates press caricatures and cartoons, popular song, staged revue and opera parodies to discover the role they play within the Parisian theatrical, social, and wider cultural context and economy in the second half of the nineteenth century. From the beginnings of Wagner reception in Paris, through the heyday of 'opéra bouffe' in the hands of that comic genius Hervé, to the international operatic repertoire played on Parisian stages in the 1890s - including works by Massenet and Saint-Saëns performed during an increasingly tense nationalist climate - this book examines the workings of parody which draw on opera for their subject material and the ways in which this satirical mode of critique works, and for whom. While at face value, much parodical treatment criticises the hypotext, in analysing a wide range of intertextual 'texts', parody is revealed as a process which bolsters cultural norms, neutralises alterity or innovation of all forms and invariably throws the satirical and critical commentary back onto internal and local cultural products and debates. 'Opera and Parody in Paris, 1860-1900' uncovers a huge amount of primary and hitherto unpublished sources - libretti, scores, caricatures - in an analysis of intermedial materials that may be read as reception documents, as ?autonomous? artistic products, and more broadly as highly appealing cultural phenomena.

Abstract

In this major study of a flexible and multifaceted mode of expression, Linda Hutcheon looks at works of modern literature, visual art, music, film, theater, and architecture to arrive at a comprehensive assessment of what parody is and what it does. Hutcheon identifies parody as one of the major forms of modern self-reflexivity, one that marks the intersection of invention and critique and offers an important mode of coming to terms with the texts and discourses of the past. Looking at works as diverse as Tom Stoppard's Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Brian de Palma's Dressed to Kill, Woody Allen's Zelig, Karlheinz Stockhausen's Hymnen, James Joyce's Ulysses, and Magritte's This Is Not a Pipe, Hutcheon discusses the remarkable range of intent in modern parody while distinguishing it from pastiche, burlesque, travesty, and satire. She shows how parody, through ironic playing with multiple conventions, combines creative expression with critical commentary. Its productive-creative approach to tradition results in a modern recoding that establishes difference at the heart of similarity. In a new introduction, Hutcheon discusses why parody continues to fascinate her and why it is commonly viewed as suspect--for being either too ideologically shifty or too much of a threat to the ownership of intellectual and creative property.
