Self-parody
Definition
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.
