What is "Satire"

Satire is a genre (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genre) of literature (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literature), and sometimes graphic and performing arts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performing_art), in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, and society itself, into improvement.^{[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satire#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEll...)} Although satire is usually meant to be funny, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_criticism), using wit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wit) as a weapon.

A common feature of satire is strong irony (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony) or sarcasm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcasm)—"in satire, irony is militant"^{[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satire#cite_note-2)}—but parody (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parody), burlesque (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burlesque_(literary), exaggeration (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exaggeration),^{[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satire#cite_note-Claridge2010p257-3)} juxtaposition, comparison, analogy, and double entendre (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_entendre) are all frequently used in satirical speech and writing. This "militant" irony or sarcasm often professes to approve of (or at least accept as natural) the very things the satirist wishes to attack.

Satire is nowadays found in many artistic forms of expression, including literature, plays, commentary, and media such as lyrics.

A parody (/ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English)ˈ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English#Key)p (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English#Key)ær (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English#Key)ə (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English#Key)d (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English#Key)i (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English#Key)/ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English); also called spoof, send-up or lampoon), in current use, is an imitative work created to mock, comment on or trivialise^{[citation needed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)]} an original work, its subject, author, style, or some other target, by means of satiric (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satire) or ironic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony) imitation. As the literary theorist Linda Hutcheon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Hutcheon) puts it, "parody … is imitation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imitation), not always at the expense of the parodied text." Another critic, Simon Dentith, defines parody as "any cultural practice which provides a relatively polemical (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polemic) allusive imitation of another cultural production or practice."^{[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parody#cite_note-1)} Parody may be found in art or culture, including literature (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literature), music (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parody_music) (although "parody" in music (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music) has an earlier, somewhat different meaning than for other art forms), animation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animation), gaming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game) and film (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film).

The writer and critic John Gross (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gross) observes in his Oxford Book of Parodies, that parody seems to flourish on territory somewhere between pastiche (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastiche) ("a composition in another artist's manner, without satirical intent") and burlesque (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burlesque) (which "fools around with the material of high literature and adapts it to low ends").^{[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parody#cite_note-2)} Historically, when a formula grows tired, like in the case of moralistic melodramas in the 1910s, it retains value only as a parody, as in the case of Buster Keaton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buster_Keaton) shorts that mocked it.
