  Linda Hutcheon
Linda Hutcheon is Professor of English and Comparative Literature, at the University of Toronto.
"THEORIZING FEMINISM AND POSTMODERNITY: A Conversation with Linda Hutcheon"
Linda Hutcheon, one of the most respected and renown of Canada's theorists, has long been known to dismiss this proclivity with an easy shrug of the shoulders.

 Linda Hutcheon - jahsonic.com
Linda Hutcheon's A Theory of Parody is one of the most important theoretical books of the decade not only on parody but also on postmodernism.
Linda Hutcheon's views on parody are far more positive and allows us to analyse contemporary writers and give them their due worth.
Hutcheon's theory on parody helps us understand better what happens to the quotation from a canonical text when it is transported into a postmodern text which uses fragmentation and irony to subvert the original meaning.

 Hutcheon / A Theory of Parody
Hutcheon identifies parody as one of the major forms of modern self-reflexivity, one that marks the intersection of invention and critique and offers an important mode of coming to terms with the texts and discourses of the past.
In a new introduction, Hutcheon discusses why parody continues to fascinate her and why it is commonly viewed as suspect--for being either too ideologically shifty or too much of a threat to the ownership of intellectual and creative property.
LINDA HUTCHEON, a professor of English at the University of Toronto, is the author of Irony's Edge: The Theory and Politics of Irony, Narcissistic Narrative: The Metafictional Paradox, and other books.

 To Subvert or Not to Subvert: Philosophising Postmodern Parody
Dismissing Jameson’s critique of the demise of a modernist parody with the replacement of a postmodern apolitical pastiche, Hutcheon instead argues that a postmodern version of parody does exist and it is “a value-problematizing, de-naturalizing form of acknowledging the history (and through irony, the politics) of representations” (90).
Hutcheon contends that postmodernity’s parody “is doubly coded in political terms: it both legitimizes and subverts that which it parodies” (101), which prevents “assumptions about its transparency and common-sense naturalness” (30).
This said, Hutcheon issues a warning: this position does not mean that critique is not effective: postmodern parody “may indeed be complicitous with the values it inscribes as well as subverts, but the subversion is still there” (106).

Linda Hutcheon, The Politics of Postmodernism, Routledge, 1989.
Hutcheon characterises postmodernism in terms of irony, de-naturalisation, and a commitment to doubleness and duplicity (as though all its statements were in quotes).
In the final section, Hutcheon unpicks 'postmodernism' from 'postmodernity', and considers their relation to modernism and the philosophies and politics of modernists, in terms of representation.

 EN223 - Bibliography - Linda Hutcheon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Hutcheon describes how in this process Canadian writers deconstruct myths "inherited" from Britain and Europe to question their colonial heritage, utilising postmodernity with its self-reflexivity and self-awareness to construct a Canadian voice.
Hutcheon describes how Atwood's particular concern with gender issues, national politics and human rights has produced a volume of work that explores and explodes the myths of human nature and human values.
She further suggests that the universal tensions of the mind and the body are mirrored by Atwood's postmodern treatment of the unreconciled differences between her English heritage and her Canadian experience.

 Linda Hutcheon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Linda Hutcheon's ideas about history and (postmodern) culture are similar to Fredric Jameson's ideas, that postmodern art cannot escape the present.
She however disagrees with Jameson's negative conclusion that postmodern culture suffers from "historical amnesia." On the contrary, postmodernism's a-historical nature (its inability to escape the present) allows postmodern art to better act as social commentary, which is in complete opposition to Jameson's conclusions that postmodern art reveals nothing but self-indulgence.
Even the institutions of the past, its social structures and practices, could be seen, in one sense, as social texts.

 Irony's Edge   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Hutcheon's text contributes considerable analytical clarity to each of the areas with which it concerns itself - the semantics, the pragmatics (both personal and social), and the politics of irony.
While Hutcheon deals instructively with both sides of the ironic interchange, she focuses more upon the crucial role played by the interpreter of irony and - given the range of possible interpreters - the degree of indeterminacy that opens up.
Again, though, Hutcheon would remind us of the risks of generalizing further and of the fact that irony remains a preliminary and provisional rhetorical gesture.

Hutcheon: The similarities on the surface are formal ones.
Hutcheon: The 1990 conference in Edmonton, “Imag(in)ing Women” made me see—both in the kinds of papers that were presented and in the tone of those papers—how far feminist theory and criticism have come in the last ten years or so.
Hutcheon: Yes and no. I don’t think my work actually enacts that breaking down of barriers, but I think I have tried to think through the consequences of that breaking down of barriers in my work on postmodernism.

The art is one of the most death-obsessed of all Western forms, say Linda and Michael Hutcheon, authors of Opera: The Art of Dying...In it, they explore musical drama as a kind of contemplatio mortis, or contemplation of death, an extension of the medieval notion of ars moriendi, or art of dying.
Linda and Michael Hutcheon's Opera: The Art of Dying is a learned, absorbing, and (if one dare use this adjective for a study of death) enjoyable book.
Building upon recent studies of death emanating from medicine and the social sciences, the Hutcheons demonstrate the ways that opera audiences experience the various deaths they witness onstage as a means of confronting their own mortality.

Linda Hutcheon is Professor of English and Comparative Literature, at the University of Toronto in Canada.
She draws attention to the plurality of disciplines and institutions involved in postmodernism from the media to universities and she suggests that all institutions are currently interrogating their own borders, artistic conventions and histories.
Hutcheon hints at, but does not explore, postmodernism's appeal to feminists in her analogy between postmodernism and "ex-centrics": fl, women and others on the margins of culture.

 Style: Troping History: Modernist Residue in Fredric Jameson's Pastiche and Linda Hutcheon's Parody - Critical Essay
I would like to take up Fredric Jameson's and Linda Hutcheon's competing accounts of the relation between postmodernism and history not because their differences stand as a recognized debate (such as that of J[check{u}]rgen Habermas and Jean-Francois Lyotard), but rather because their accounts of postmodern fiction seem to leave little room for compromise.
Hutcheon notes the confusion that results from Jameson's use of "the word postmodernism for both socio-economic periodization and the cultural designation," a move that deliberately collapses the distinction between postmodernism and postmodernity (Politics 25).
Jameson's postmodernism shows his debt to both reader-response criticism and the work of Jean Baudrillard, who as early as Consumer Society (1970) was attempting to shift attention away from a traditional Marxist category--the means of production--and toward a new one--the means of consumption.

It continues the project of Linda Hutcheon's Narcissistic Narrative and A Theory of Parody in studying formal self-consciousness in art, but adds to this both a historical and an ideological dimension.
Partly this had to do with a certain amount of confusion surrounding the term; but this confusion is not necessarily part of the term itself, it has also to do with a lot of critical excesses and theoretical gibberish that have been noted in the area.
But Hutcheon does know where she stands, she builds her argument very carefully, contextualises it with regard to previous literature, and applies it effectively to texts she treats as postmodernist.

 Style: Troping History: Modernist Residue in Fredric Jameson's Pastiche and Linda Hutcheon's Parody - Critical Essay
(10.) Speaking of the Chicago Tribune Tower, Hutcheon notes, "The pun on newspaper columns is deliberate; the fl and white of the building are meant to suggest print lines and, of course, the Chicago Tribune is red/read all over" (Poetics 33).
(11.) Hutcheon acknowledges the problem ("Like all parody, postmodernist architecture can certainly be [acute{e}]litist, if the codes necessary for its comprehension are not shared by both encoder and decoder") but optimistically believes that the quotations are usually "common and easily recognized" (Poetics 34).
For McHale, the "supeiority of Jameson's readings" is a function of his dialectical method, as opposed to Hutcheon, whose reading of Ragtime is yet another instance of the way "her readings end up collapsing all her texts into the same oxymoronic structure of 'complicitous critique'" (26).
