Parody, pastiche, and remix in film and TV series

In the first part we will focus on the intersemiotic and intermedia relations analyzing some cases of Italian and North American movies and their parodic remakes, considering the genettian differences between “imitation” and “transformation” (Genette 1982). We will claim for a graduality between the “pastiche” considered as a playful rewriting of the style (Fabbri 2020), the “parody” considered as a rewriting of the style with a sort of degradation of the subject and the “travestissment” (Genette 1982). In the second part we will focus on the differences among textual modes like the “satiric”, “ludic” and “serious” ones (Genette 1982) and we will open to transmedia relations of interpretation (Eco 2000; Jenkins 2006) and translation (Saldre, Torop 2012; Dusi 2019). In this part we will analyze some cases of Italian and North American TV series that have engaged web prosumers and fandom through the production of various kinds of parodic remixes and webseries.
