Resumo

Segundo Genette e Hutcheon, a paródia é transformacional em sua relação com outros textos, enquanto o pastiche é imitativo. Outros teóricos como Hoesterey e Dyer redefiniram o pastiche (e práticas textuais imitativas) a partir da perspectiva da estética pós-moderna e exploraram a maneira pela obras de arte anteriores são ressignificadas, pois o pastiche está associado a uma consciência da historicidade. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar Mrs. Osmond (2017), de John Banville, como exemplo de um pastiche pós-moderno que não só opera por correspondência ou tributo em relação a The Portrait of a Lady (1881), de Henry James, mas também como um romance no qual a recontextualização cria diferenças significativas entre as obras literárias envolvidas. É a essa distância que o texto de Banville desestabiliza as noções tradicionais de pastiche e produz um efeito mais polivalente, além de uma expansão da multiplicidade já associada a sua figura autoral.
