Postmodernism.

Homage - resepectful, recreating something in a positive light
Pastiche - imitating something to make fun of it in a more satire way


"The centre is not the centre" - Jacques Derrida
The middle point (the good) is based on comparison to other texts.


Pluralism and relativism
Pluralism - belief there is no one answer to anything
Normative pluralism/relativism (nihilism) - acceptance that in all narrative/expressions/norms one is not better than another. Everything is equal
Other one accepts different views without denying that something is better than other things


Paradox - "There are no absolutes" Lyotard
