ADAPTATION & PARODY
Robert Colescott,I Gets a Thrill Too When I Sees De Koo, 1978
“Art forms have increasingly appeared to distrust external criticism to the extent that they have sought to incorporate critical commentary within their own structures in a kind of self-legitimising short-circuit of the normal critical dialogue.”

Adaptation (and parody) is defined by the Canadian literary theorist Linda Hutcheon as “an extended, deliberate, announced revisitation of a particular work of art.” - Linda Hutcheon, A Theory of Adaptation, p.170.
“Parody has become one of the major avenues for deconstructing art, in that a parodied work ‘talks back’ not only to the original but also to other parodies.”
- Sherri Klein, Art and Laughter, p.14.
