Editing Reprise (section)

==In literature==
In [[postmodernism]], the term ''reprise'' has been borrowed from musical terminology to be used in literary criticism by Christian Moraru:
{{quote|....with postmodern authors or scriptors, representation-as-repetition challenges representation-as-origination. They set forth the alternate model of an ''esthétique du recyclage'' [aesthetic recycling]&nbsp;... Anything but "neoclassical" or humbly imitative, driven by a complex cultural-aesthetic agenda, this model plays upon discriminate and polemical "repetition," upon a critical ''reprise'', to borrow—or ''reprise'', in my turn—a term from music and adapt it to underscore the strategic difference toward which postmodernism's repetitive acts are frequently geared....postmodernism's self-acknowledged ''reprises'' ever so often ''surprise'' us with their unexpected plot twists, media mixes, and other deflections, inflections, and irreverent revisions, both textual and contextual, sociocultural.

From the postmodern perspective, ''reprise'' is a fundamental [[literary device|device]] in the whole [[history of art]].
