several studies which conducted using pastiche as its literary criticism and theory, but nothing in which used The Selection as a subject of its analysis. There are some
similar studies about pastiche which is applied in different novel. Whereas, there are also studies which conducted using novel The Selection, but none of them which is
using pastiche as a theory. These studies which relate to this research are conducted
within the last few years.
The first is the study from Islamic Azad University wrote by Maede h Zare’e
2016 with tittle: Pastiche in Paul Auster’s The New York Trilogy. This research
described the three novels comprising the trilogy City of Glass, Ghosts, and The Locked Room which retelling the same story. According to researcher, Quinn, Paul
Auster as the author of mystery novels does not have any tangible information about real crime. Therefore, his stories are not real detective ones but kinds of imitation of
this genre on which he has no sufficient information. That an imitation in the detective genre is used by Auster in writing of the whole novel The New York Trilogy
2015. It was described as a postmodern detective story in which Auster borrows some elements from detective fiction and uses his own writing to explore the nature
and depicts the limitations of the genre, and to ask questions of a more philosophical nature concerning perception, interpretation, and the availability of truth, or meaning.
Moreover, this research shows that those three stories are pastiche to each other as they imitate themselves. By means the main characters of three stories are somehow
like each other.

For the novel, The Selection also had been analyzed by I. A. Ika Sarita Dewi from Udayana University in 2016 titled Conflict and Psychological Aspects of
America Singer in the Novel The Selection. This research focused on the conflict and psychological character of America Singer that applied the theories of Practical
Psychology by Karl S. Bernhart and the theory of conflict by Gail and Myers. This present study showed that America Singer is introvert and phlegmatic one. It proved
by how she can keep something that happens in her life secret and always resolves
the problem by herself.
The next research is from Padjajaran University, by Nisa Faridah titled KewajaranNaturalness Terjemahan Novel The Selection Karya Kiera Cass
Naturalness in the Translating Novel of The Selection by Kiera Cass. This study aimed to determine the application of adjusment in the novel so that the translation
remains acceptable and natural to the novel, The Selection. This study used the theory of naturalness proposed by Peter Newmark, that the levels of naturalness are
categorized. These categories include word order, collocation and cognate words in sentences with informal and colloquial styles affect the casual language that used in
novel and translation. Based on this study, the research is concluded that the adjustment made to the translation is to see the emphasis on the target language due
to different word order structure, the use of different forms of collocation with the same meaning and the use of cognate word is not equivalent in Indonesian language.

Whereas the translation of the novel achieve the natural translation because it follows
the rule of grammatical in the target language.
Toward the explanation about the theory and previous studies that have conducted, it can be concluded that the theory and the novel have ever been analyzed
by academic students or other researchers. However, none of those studies which analyzed the same novel, The Selection, with same theory, postmodern pastiche by
Jameson. Furthermore, this research deals with its differentiation with other previous
studies that have conducted.
