Parody or Pastiche? Kathy Acker, Toni Morrison, and the Critical Appropriation of Faulknerian Masculinity

The article examines how Kathy Acker and Toni Morrison engage with and reinterpret the literary legacy of William Faulkner, particularly his construction of masculinity in the American South. It explores whether their works should be understood as parody (a critical, often ironic imitation) or pastiche (a more neutral or celebratory imitation). The author argues that both Acker and Morrison do more than imitate Faulkner—they critically appropriate his themes, narrative techniques, and representations of male authority, race, and identity.
