Despite its popularity among literary theorists, there is sometimes a discrepancy between the loose concept of family resemblance, at least in its negative-radical version, and the practical assumptions made about genres. In order to overcome the inadequacies of existing applications of the concept, I will propose two ways in which Wittgenstein{\textquoteright}s concept can be fruitfully applied to genre theory. First, by using certain working hypotheses in cognitive psychology, based on the concept of family resemblance, I will argue that literary genres are perceived as structured categories, with a {\textquoteleft}hard core{\textquoteright} consisting of prototypical members. These prototypical members are characterized by the fact that they bear a relatively high degree of resemblance to each other. Second, by focusing on the analogy between the internal structure of literary genres and that of families one can establish a {\textquoteleft}genealogical{\textquoteright} line of literary genres, i.e., the series of writers who have participated in shaping, reshaping and transmitting the textual heritage established by the {\textquoteleft}founding father{\textquoteright} of the genre, including the dialectical relationship of {\textquoteleft}parents{\textquoteright} and {\textquoteleft}children{\textquoteright} in genre history.}, keywords = {family resemblance, genre, literary, prototype, Wittgenstein}, author = {Fishelov, David} } @book {735, title = {Metaphors of Genre}, year = {1993}, note = {+}, month = {1993}, publisher = {Penn State University Press}, organization = {Penn State University Press}, address = {University Park, PA}, keywords = {biology, family, institutions, literary genre, speech act}, isbn = {0-271-00886-5}, author = {Fishelov, David} } @book {743, title = {Kinds of Literature: An Introduction to the Theory of Genres and Modes}, year = {1982}, note = {+}, month = {1982}, publisher = {Harvard University Press}, organization = {Harvard University Press}, address = {Cambridge, MA}, keywords = {emerge, family resemblance, genre, hierarchy, literary, modulation, repertoire, transformation}, isbn = {0-674-50355-4}, author = {Fowler, Alastair} } @article {742, title = {The Life and Death of Literary Forms}, journal = {New Literary History}, volume = {2}, year = {1971}, note = {+ pdf rhet}, month = {1971}, pages = {199{\textendash}206}, keywords = {change, evolution, form, genre, Hirsch, history, literature, mode, variation}, author = {Fowler, Alastair} } @article {749, title = {Situating Genre: A Rejoinder}, journal = {Research in the Teaching of English}, volume = {27}, year = {1993}, note = {+ genre}, month = {1993}, pages = {272{\textendash}281}, keywords = {classroom, Fahnestock, genre, teaching, Williams and Colomb}, author = {Freedman, Aviva} } @article {1188, title = {Riding Off into the Sunrise: Genre Contingency and the Origin of the Chinese Western}, journal = {PMLA}, volume = {122}, year = {2007}, month = {October 2007}, pages = {1482-98}, chapter = {1482}, abstract = {

The paradoxical dependence of genre histories on historically accidental acts of naming and on transcendental critical imagination is demonstrated by the Chinese western, a little-understood genre that has become a major part of Chinese-language cinema over the past two decades. After the genre was proposed in 1984 by the Chinese film theorist Zhong Dianfei, as a realist reaction against the ideological excesses of the Cultural Revolution, its ambiguous status as a Hollywood import quickly became a proxy for larger cultural battles over China\&$\#$39;s place in an American-dominated international cultural system. Moreover, despite assurances by Zhong and other critics that the genre was not susceptible to Hollywood influence, the production history of the genre from the late 1980s to the present demonstrates a pattern of generic influence and eventual fusion that tracks Chinese state-owned studios\&$\#$39; evolution from subsidized propaganda organs to participants in a globalized entertainment industry.

Instead of considering film and television adaptations in the context of the source texts they are adapting, this essay proposes another context for their reception and analysis: the genre of adaptation itself. Focusing on the Hollywood traditions of masculine adventure and feminine romance associated respectively with adaptations of Alexandre Dumas p\ère and fils, it identifies four genre markers common to both traditions that make it more likely a given adaptation will be perceived as an adaptation even by an audience that does not know its source, and one anti-marker associated with adaptations in the tradition of the younger Dumas but not the elder. The essay concludes by proposing adaptation as a model for all Hollywood genres.

Genre marks large-scale repeated patterns of meaning in human symbolic production and interaction. Approaches to genre can be divided into the formalistthematic, attending to categories and discriminations based on linguistic or textual elements and drawing from cognitive theories; and the pragmatic, attending primarily to use-patterns drawing from social theories of function, action, and communal interaction. This overview draws from disciplines explicitly concerned with natural language, including literature, rhetoric, and several areas of linguistics. A distinction between rational and empirical approaches to genre affects both how genre is conceived and what methods are used for analysis. The rational approach grounds genre in a principle or theory determined by the theorist, yielding a relatively small, closed set of genres; the empirical grounds genre in the experience of those for whom genres are significant, yielding an historically changing, open set of genres. Genre analysis is applied in many discourse disciplines and for a variety of purposes, both descriptive and prescriptive.

Media forms play a vital role in making cultural and political sense of the complex economic developments and profound ideological uncertainties which have accompanied the global recession. This article analyses how popular genre cinema tackles the inequalities \– in particular, gender inequalities \– that follow from the financial crisis, situating Hollywood\’s representational strategies in the context of recessionary media culture. It posits and analyses two sub-genres which demonstrate different approaches to an altered socio-economic climate: the recessionary \‘chick flick\’ and the corporate melodrama. Amid the financial crisis these sub-genres shift emphasis to respond to changing circumstances, notably in relation to the once-ubiquitous trope of choice central to post-feminist media culture; neoliberal choice rhetoric is now considerably harder to maintain. The two case studies contrast the different ways in which female-centred chick flicks and male-centred corporate melodramas address unemployment, downward mobility and the challenges of work\–life balance.

In recent years, food has played an increasingly prominent role in the mainstream media in a variety of ways. As one manifestation of this trend, \“food films\” have coalesced into a bona fide genre in contemporary popular culture. In this essay, I seek to contribute to the growing conversation regarding the symbolic role and rhetorical function of mediated representations of food. In an analysis of three films of that genre\—Like Water for Chocolate, Chocolat, and\ Woman on Top\—I argue that these films are unified not only insofar as they feature food but also, and more importantly, with respect to how they use food to engage and assuage anxieties attendant to contemporary cultural ambiguities and permeabilities, especially around race/ethnicity and gender. Specifically, I contend that these films offer food as a rhetorical device through which discourses of privilege are reconciled with and restabilised against contemporary practices of desire and consumption, especially (and increasingly) for and of the \“Other.\”

Given the strategic nature of the different kinds of flames, it makes more sense to view them as performative enactments of identity which stress either group or individual identity depending on the genre of invective utilized by the flamer.
