parody

Composing one's own work by humorously changing or ridiculing certain parts of something that has already been published, such as a novel , poem , movie , drama , cartoon , animation , or music . Certain parts of the original work are also borrowed to turn them into cliches . Parody works were popular in England , France , and Germany .

'paradia', the origin of the word parody in English, means "a song sung in opposition to something else," and 'paradio', which is believed to be an older word, means "to imitate, to imitate a singer." It has the meaning of Therefore, looking at these two conflicting etymological meanings, it can be seen that parody has two sides of mutual contradiction: 'opposition' and 'imitation' or 'hostility' and 'intimacy'. In other words, imitation and transformation are the basic concepts that make up parody.

In general, parody is defined as 'satirical imitation of nuclear power' or 'comedy of nuclear power'. Imitation, transformation, and goal are the three factors of parody. The sufficient conditions for parody are the dual structure of the parody `` work (nuclear power) and parody ''. This corresponds to the dual status of a parody that is the reader of the nuclear power plant and the parody of the parody. Thus, parody is a form of imitation of nuclear power plants, forms of interpretation and criticism. This double structure is nothing but mutual text. In other words, parody thinking is a mutual text thinking, and Bachchin also claimed to be 'half the language of the author and the other half is the language of others.' So the parody is the context of moving and the transcental contexts.

Since parodies generally target well-known canonical works, they are also a challenge to humanism that respects originality and individuality. Parodying the original text itself is pluralistic writing and pluralization of the text. L.Hutcheon, who defined the core poetics of postmodernism as parody, defined parody as a repetition with a critical distance from the past. In other words, parody entails both respect and ridicule of the past, continuation and change.

Therefore, parody works also run into many copyright issues, and fines ranging from tens of millions of won to hundreds of millions of won are freely exchanged. A representative example is the parody dispute between Seo Taiji and Lee Jae-soo . Along with shared programs, parodies are also an issue for copyright issues. It is also true that in the case of Lee Jae-su, the judgment has not been filed because the lawsuit has not yet been filed.

In fact, it is true that other than France, there is no written law on parody, so it cannot be said that there is an international standard for the issue, and the judgments of the courts in each country are inconsistent in each case, making it difficult to judge. One criterion for judgment can be simply the originality of the work and whether it has invaded the unique economic territory of the original work.

Parody is usually a secondary creation, and the content or structure is sometimes created as one's own. However, when parodies reduce the publicity of the copyright holder or are used for malicious purposes, they suffer greatly.

Korea is still tolerant of parodies, but the movement of copyright owners to protect their rights will become stronger in the future. If you don't want to be taken to trial for inserting a parody that isn't particularly funny, you should get permission before doing the parody . You must send an e-mail and obtain a signature from the original author saying it is okay to do so, and be aware that unauthorized parodies can lead to a court battle at any time.

If a parody is successful , it will make people laugh a lot, but if it fails , it will be completely negative , and if it is done incorrectly, only people who know it will find it funny, and those who don't know will ask 'What is it?' This increases the barrier to entry into the work. There are many cases where parodies are overused to make purely original works interesting and end up being trash, so it is not good to overuse anything.

Additionally, it should be noted that the general public is becoming more and more tolerant of parodies. For example, let's look at an old animation called Project A. This work of parody, by parody, and for parody received a tremendous response back in 1986 . But looking at this work now, it just feels dull. The days when you could make people laugh by throwing out a lot of parodies without any context are already over. The first episode of Osomatsu-san, which is known to contain excessive parody, is also said to have been sealed due to copyright issues. In particular, parodies of popular culture are very sensitive to trends that come and go quickly, so it is common for people to not understand what the parody is about even after 10 years if they just throw in the latest trend.

Therefore, in order to be a truly well-made parody, it must be able to show sufficient perfection on its own, even without parody elements. This means that it should be a work that is very funny to those who know the original, but even if it is a little awkward at times, it should be fun enough. A representative example is the 1980 Hollywood movie Airplane . It is an almost exact parody of the 1957 disaster film Zero Hour, but there is no problem in watching it even if you don't know what the original is. In fact, most people don't even know that the original exists, and even in the early 21st century, it is still recognized as a masterpiece comedy film.

Vegetable theater Veggie Tail is also often inserted in each episode, but the parody from the episode of Jingjing's wife is also very diverse, such as the animation called 'Madeline', and Oiman parodyed Batman. However, because the transformation is severe, there are few viewers who recognize that the scene from the whistle is a parody of the work called 'Madeline'.

Starting in the late 2010s, most of the Korean webtoons began to reduce the number of Japanese cartoons and Internet memes parody. The artists who lived as a Japanese cartoon parody, such as Choi Hoon and Gunkinist, also reduced the parody . Whether it's a Japanese cartoon , a game , or a simple Internet meme , the frequency of parody is reduced and the motif is drawn. Nowadays, in the case of the Ingirole, I don't hold one or two IPs, but it's a short form that follows the trend.

It is difficult to lump the borrowing of a specific object's image, direction, story, etc. into a parody as it can cause confusion. Among the stories going around, the one I wish people knew about the original is an homage . If the purpose is to provide fun to those who know the original, it is a parody . If it is a copying without any intention of informing the original, it is plagiarism . This can be seen as getting to the point quite well. In this case, subtly inserting elements of another work that are difficult to understand can be considered homage, exposing them openly and expecting an immediate response from the audience is parody, and exposing them openly but hoping for no response can be seen as plagiarism.

However, even if it is not plagiarism, there are cases where some elements are taken as a motif and show similarities. A representative example is the word spiritual successor , which is commonly used in the gaming world . Also, it is not an homage or a parody, but it is simply a small fun element for the creator, and there are cases where it is made as a cameo without much meaning, and there are various degrees of taking similar elements and twisting them in to criticize other works, or just quoting without much meaning, so it is not possible to clearly distinguish between the above three alone. In other words, there may be controversy if we go into it in earnest, so it is correct to view it as a simple analogy. It is difficult to divide and agree on the three concepts in situations where legal interpretations by country, interpretation by field/genre, and common beliefs are all different, and there are certainly concepts that do not belong to these three. For example, when Bulnak Bokkeum Ramen becomes popular, if another company comes out with Bulnak Bokkeum Ramen , this is not plagiarism, homage, or parody. It's just a similar product.

In English-speaking countries, these things are collectively called references, but in Korea, this concept does not exist, so words that do not fit the situation are often used. Just as it is difficult to distinguish between homage and plagiarism, there is no clear standard for parody and plagiarism, so it must be judged from each individual's subjective perspective. A work that is unclear as to whether it is a parody or plagiarism continues to cause controversy.

However, this needs to be distinguished from a legal perspective. Of course, compared to plagiarism, people tend to accept parody/homage more easily.
In most countries where copyright law exists, if a part of the original work is arbitrarily used, it is often viewed as copyright infringement regardless of whether it is plagiarism, parody, or homage, so legal problems are likely to arise.[1] Especially as the public's understanding of the relevant laws decreases... This is often simply referred to as 'plagiarism', but strictly speaking, it is not such a simple issue.

The concept of pastiche is also often discussed. Pastiche, along with parody, is significant in that it is the product of a perspective that denies the privatization of literature. Pastiche is neutral imitation in that it has no satirical intent, and is also called mixed imitation in that it extracts and assembles various original texts. However, it is difficult to view these as a proper understanding of pastiche. Since pastiche contains love and respect for the original work, it would be very difficult to believe in the power of the original work. If parody imitates something different from the original, pastiche imitates it similarly to the original. In other words, pastiche is a kind of patchwork and is based on respect for the original, but parody is different in that it contains both respect and ridicule, and 'transforms' it. The critical difference between parody is that it is intertextual and self-reflective. For a more detailed discussion on pastiche and parody, please refer to Professor Kim Jun-oh's 'Poetics' published by Samjiwon.
