[[Travesty]] is a literary and artistic term which has demonstrated a vast range and shift in meaning over the years, from the notion of "a literary or artistic [[burlesque]] of a serious work or subject, characterized by grotesque or ludicrous incongruity of style, treatment, or subject matter"[http://www.dictionary.com/browse/travesty?] to more negative definitions as "a literary or artistic composition so inferior in quality as to be merely a grotesque imitation of its model"[http://www.dictionary.com/browse/travesty?].

In a more general sense often found today in the expression "a travesty of justice".
