Tactics include deliberately misleading intertextuality; ″time-loop paradox″; time travel; anachronism; and the deliberate erasure of the historical record, using the conventions of genre to undermine the assumption that in the globalised marketplace all consumers are equal and all cultures available for consumption.展开更多
