Golda, an all-day café in Brooklyn, offers a number of almost parodically millennial touchstones.

Intervention that, parodically, speaks about people forced to live in extreme conditions, even coming to live in manholes.

For those who haven't watched, it's a pulpy cop procedural with a penchant for over-the-top, almost self-parodically implausible plot twists.

Denis is almost parodically auteurist, the kind of media-unfriendly filmmaker who enjoys universal acclaim from film enthusiasts and little in the way of ordinary fame.

If Zambra's book parodically takes on the formulaic structures of pedantic test-makers, Matías Celedón's La filial (Alquimia Ediciones, 2012) springs forth from a rigorous mechanical limitation.

Gladwell guides the listener through things in an almost parodically well-honed podcast voice, cutting back to an interview between Rubin, who produced "Walk on Water," and Eminem.
|
|
At times reminiscent of the blissed-out love duet from Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde," it is almost parodically cosmic, more openly burning than the earlier works by Debussy and Ravel.

Two crates of colorfully beaded AK-47s by Ralph Ziman (13) and a flak jacket studded with rhinestones by Opie Opie (2017) parodically aestheticize the tools of war and destruction.

I like the Christopher Nolan Batman movies, but still find them almost parodically self-serious, so I'm in favor of anything that affectionately pokes fun at them and other Batman stories.

The story involves a neatly constructed triangle that is almost parodically French, or perhaps just cinematically so: a 23-year-old woman, her doting father and his 23-year-old live-in girlfriend.

Opened in 2017 by the late restaurateur Danny Nusbaum, whose family started Pick A Bagel, it offers a number of almost parodically millennial touchstones, including açai yogurt and chia-seed oatmeal with date-oat milk.

They gripe about its administrative dysfunctions, its sometimes anarchic streets (illegal nighttime car races are the latest scare) and infrastructural embarrassments like the parodically problem-plagued new airport, now scheduled to open a decade late in 2021.

"Democracy" (1992), for example, a parodically upbeat mock-patriotic march, broadcast his inspirational message of hope to the American people, a message that will prove heartwarming time and time again as we come together as a strong, unified, incontrovertibly conflict-free nation.

Huppert, who's been cast as parodically French before (in I Heart Huckabees, she's a chic nihilist cooing lines like "It is inevitable to be drawn back into human drama"), here plays a woman who easily cloaks her psychopathy under silk scarves and stylish trenches.

Rather, the antisocial novel pulses with a different kind of noticing, the kind that shows us things that we might not want to see with a doomed clarity (in Moshfegh's work, the noticing is parodically grotesque: finger gouges in a bulimic's sheet cake, or the resemblance of Chardonnay to urine).

Examined at length in Vladimir Nabokov's Lectures on Ulysses. A Facsimile of the Manuscript. Bloomfield Hills/Columbia: Bruccoli Clark, 1980. The action of the novel, which takes place in a single day, 16 June 1904, sets the characters and incidents of the Odyssey of Homer in modern Dublin and represents Odysseus (Ulysses), Penelope and Telemachus in the characters of Leopold Bloom, his wife Molly Bloom and Stephen Dedalus, parodically contrasted with their lofty models.

36–37 According to Stanislaus Joyce, James sang the song at his dying brother George's request in 1902, to this chant of his own composition. In the opening episode of Ulysses, Buck Mulligan chants the song and Stephen Dedalus works several variations on it ("parodically", but "not simply ... parody").Debora Sherman, Who Goes with Fergus?: The Transfiguration of Yeats in Ulysses Joyce also has Stephen Dedalus recall Cathleen's dying words ("Bend down your faces, Oona and Aleel...") in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.

Ellis feels that the autobiographical truths of his novels lie in their writing processes, which to him are like emotional "exorcisms". Crace's abovementioned parody suggests that Less Than Zero Clay was originally a flattering portrayal of Ellis. Ellis discusses lightly the kinds of self-insertion present in the book. While Clay is clearly (parodically) working on the film adaptation of The Informers, he is at the same time fully aware that he has been a character in Less Than Zero, and that ostensibly, Ellis is 'the author' whom Clay knew.

Historically, the mock-heroic style was popular in 17th-century Italy, and in the post-Restoration and Augustan periods in Great Britain. The earliest example of the form is the Batrachomyomachia ascribed to Homer by the Romans and parodying his work, but believed by most modern scholars to be the work of an anonymous poet in the time of Alexander the Great. A longstanding assumption on the origin of the mock-heroic in the 17th century is that epic and the pastoral genres had become used up and exhausted,Griffin,Dustin H. (1994) Satire: A Critical Reintroduction p.135 and so they got parodically reprised.

Carla Liesching (born 1985) is an artist from Johannesburg, South Africa, based in New York City. Her work investigates human relationships to structure, particularly ideological shifts in geographic organisation and narrative. Liesching's practice addresses conceptions of self in relation to place, movement, distance and belonging. Interested in the photographic portrait's agency in the shaping of identity narratives, Liesching creates archives of staged environmental portraits, which parodically hearken back to the medium's early involvement with human classification systems and pseudo- scientific exploration (for example, photography used in the aid of physiognomy, physical anthropology, phrenology, Darwinism and colonialism.) Liesching's installations often include sculptural and sound components alongside her photographic work.
