A charade (pronounced [pdi] US, [padi] UK), in coeval usage, is a do made to mock, annotating on, or lick fun at an archetype work, its subject, or author, or some single target, by means of humorous, satiric or ironic imitation. As the literary theoriser Linda Hutcheon (2000: 7) puts it, "parody is caricature with a fussy difference, not eternity at the spending of the parodied text." Another critic, Simon Dentith (2000: 9), defines put-on as "any cultural exercise which clinchs a relatively polemical allusive impersonation of another cultural sequel or practice."

Spoof may be devise in art or culture, moreover literature, euphony (although "parody" in euphony has a rather wider signification than for various art forms), and cinema. Parodies are sometimes colloquially referred to as spoofs or lampoons.

According to Aristotle ( Poetics , ii. 5), Hegemon of Thasos was the artisan of a miscellanea of parody; by sparingly neuter the verbiage in well-known poems he transformed the empyrean into the ridiculous. In ancient Hellene literature, a parodia was a tale poem mimicry the way and flection of epics "but treating light, satirical or mock-heroic subjects" (denith, 10). Indeed, the obvious Hellene roots of the book are par- (which can mean beside , buffet , or against ) and -ody ( birdsong , as in an ode). Thus, the pilot Hellene bible parodia has sometimes unstylish taken to mean counter-song , an caricature this is set against the original. The Oxford English Dictionary, for example, defines burlesque as caricature "turned as to adopt a empty-headed effect" (quoted in Hutcheon, 32). Considering par- likewise has the non-antagonistic importation of beside , "there is null in parodia to demand the comprehension of a conception of ridicule" (hutcheon, 32).

Roman writers explained sendup as an caricature of one poet by another for humorous effect. In French Neoclassical literature, burlesque was conjointly a case of poem where one roleplay imitates the mode of another for humorous effect.

In classical music, burlesque means a reworking of one miscellanea of writing into another (e.g., a motet into a keyboard play as Girolamo Cavazzoni, Antonio de Cabezn, and Alonso Mudarra all did to Josquin des Prez motets.) Including commonly, a sendup flock ( missa parodia ) or an cantata used unimpeded acknowledgment from particular vocal deeds such as motets or cantatas; Victoria, Palestrina, Lassus, and colorful notability composers of the 16th centred used that technique; Bach moreover used existing cantatas for his Yuletide Oratorio. In fact, the melodious use of the bible spoof is wider than its cosmopolitan use - and chronology usually melodious charade does make humorous, even satirical intent, some tenuously recycles melodic ideas.

Birdsong parodies can be filled with mishearings known as mondegreens. See more the briny scoop on melodic parody.

The start utilisation of the bible lampoon in English cited in the Oxford English Lexicon is in Ben Jonson, in Every Man in His Wit in 1598: "A Parodie, a parodie! to mark it absurder than it was." The succeeding luminary mention occurs from Toilet Dryden in 1693, who furthermore latched an explanation, suggesting this the book was in unwashed use.

In the broader gumption of Hellene parodia , spoof can arise then complete element of one playact are lifted out of their consideration and reused, not necessarily to be ridiculed.
