#self-parody
- To self-parody — To parody one's own works, style, ideas, or behavioral manifestations; to intentionally, caricaturly, and self-ironically reproduce the characteristic elements of one's own personality or artistic creation to generate a comic or reflexive effect. In criticism, it reflects the maturity of a creator who analyzes their own structural stylistic clichés through self-directed satire.
- Self-parody — The act of self-parodying and its result; an artistic or literary process through which a creator or entity consciously, self-ironically, and deconstructively parodies their own style, clichés, works, or behaviors. This structural technique, common in postmodernism, functions as a form of superior critical reflexivity, undermining the solemnity of the work from within to question the limits of artistic representation and interpretive clichés.
