Talk:Pastiche

I thoroughly disagree: "pastiche" is used today most often as a synonymn for assemblage. I.e. it is a combination of multiple elements, usually for humorous effect. It is also quite often derisive of the originals. Furthermore, although literary pastiche continues, the term is probably much more used in fine arts, where it can include collage and parodic mixtures of found elements. As post-modernism has risen, pastiche has become a favored technique again. It is also odd to omit reference to Dada and its use of pastiche.
Furthermore, the most common use of the word "pastiche" outside of the arts is for derogation. "Oh, that report? It was a pastiche of every press release the company has issued in the last year."
