This is the prompt I have attached the readings,. lecture notes and will attach the class recordings that will help you answer this prompt :)Prompt: Carefully choose a film that you would consider to be a parody, in Fredric Jameson’s terms and one that is a pastiche. Explore the characteristics that differentiate the two films. Please use all the feedback as usual that I have given you in the past 500-word essay questions I need help with also in terms of writing style here is a classmate’s notes: Jameson’s idea of the pastiche/blank parody brought up an important aspect of artmaking in today’s work. Truly, everything has been already invented, written, shown, made art of in this world. We are constantly imitating dead styles, but I see this in a different way a bit.

Do the regular film viewers realize the meaning of optical consciousness?class recording : londonessays.com…Please READ: Jameson, Fredric, “Postmodernism and Consumer Society” (1988) 1031-1041also there wasn’t any class discussion so there was no second class recording but maybe this link can help you decide on what film londonessays.com… to write about pls do not use this link as a resource this is to just help you get an idea to answer the question
