Based on ideas from sociological structuration theory, as well as on existing blog research, it argues that individual usage episodes are framed by three structural dimensions of rules, relations, and code, which in turn are constantly (re)produced in social action. As a result, ‘‘communities of blogging practices’’ emerge-that is, groups of people who share certain routines and expectations about the use of blogs as a tool for information, identity, and relationship management. This analytical framework can be the basis for systematic comparative and longitudinal studies that will further understanding of similarities and differences in blogging practices.

KW - function KW - genre KW - media AB - Up to now the discussion of genres has been oriented rather exclusively towards text-types in the literary-system, and its scope has mostly been typological. In contrast to these approaches this paper aims at a systematic explication of the notion of genre in a science of the media on a constructivist epistemological basis conceiving of genres in terms of cognitive concepts.A constructivist theory of genre concentrates on functions, it strives for homogeneous argumentation, and it tries to establish a general theory of media genres which is able to explain the function of genres in the media in general.

This paper examines the pervasive role of Microsoft’s presentation software PowerPoint as a genre of professional and organizational communication. Frequently, PowerPoint is not only used for the primary function it was initially designed for, i.e., facilitating live presentations, but also for alternative purposes such as project documentation. Its application in a neighboring domain, however, poses a functional dilemma: does the PowerPoint genre preserve the features of its primary function, i.e., presentation, or rather adapt to the new function, i.e., documentation? By drawing on a communication-centered perspective, this paper examines PowerPoint’s role in the domain of project documentation as a clash between the constitutive affordances of professional and of organizational communication. To investigate this issue empirically, I conducted a case study at a multinational business consulting firm. The study allows identification of three distinct PowerPoint subgenres, which differ in how they adapt to the function of project documentation. This paper contributes to organization studies by specifying the boundary conditions under which a genre of professional communication such as PowerPoint can be expected to maintain its genre-inherent characteristics even in the face of contradictory organizational requirements and to impose these characteristics on a neighboring domain of organizational communication practices.

KW - Bourdieu KW - business letter KW - CDA KW - genre AB - This limited case study examines the situated-language practices associated with the production of negative letters in an insurance company. Using genre and sociocultural theories, the study combines textual analyses of a set of negative letters together with writers' accounts of producing these letters to identify effective (as defined by the company) strategies for composing this correspondence. These letters are examples of generic action, and they demonstrate that genres function as constellations of regulated, improvisational strategies triggered by the interaction between individual socialization and an organization. Moreover, these constellations of resources express a particular chronotopic relation to space and time, and this relation is always axiological or value oriented. In other words, genres express space/time relations that reflect current social beliefs regarding the placement and actions of human individuals in space and time. The article identifies some of the strategies that characterize effective negative messages in this organization. It also critiques this text type for enacting a set of practices and related chronotopic orientation that is against the interests of its readers and writers.

This entry provides overviews on current genre theory and research that investigates texts in their social
contexts. Specifically, the entry focuses on relevant theory in Rhetorical genre studies and Linguistics and
provides illustrations from applied studies in Professional Communication and Composition research.
Since much current research in genre theory utilizes social theories that deal with questions of structure
and agency, relevant theories in that area are reviewed as well. Finally, the entry notes some of the
pedagogical implications of genre research.

KW - breast cancer KW - genre KW - ignorance KW - narrative AB - This paper explores questions of the permissible and the impermissible in breastcancer narratives. It deploys (inter alia) a theory of discourse and counterdiscourse to argue that the genre itself of the personal narrative performs a regulatory function in public discourse on cancer. The paper is inspired by an idea introduced into science studies by Schiebinger and Proctor – the idea of agnotology: the cultural production of ignorance. The paper argues that ignorance about cancer is maintained, in part, by the rehearsal of stories that have standard plots and features, and that suppress or displace other stories. The paper turns on examples of both conventional and unconventional stories. It focuses on Barbara Ehrenreich’s renegade cancer story and its public reception, and Wendy Mesley’s renegade cancer documentary and the public reception of that. The paper seeks to contribute to genre studies by analyzing instances of a genre of public discourse, and suggesting the nature of the social action performed by the genre itself.

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.”

This article details the impact of online databases, proquest in particular, on composition research. When distinguishing different online texts, students often encounter research and documentation difficulties, indicating a need for more instruction that addresses new literacies emerging from the current transitional age of electronic and print cultures. I present new evaluative methods for online documents that utilize knowledge of online genres, information retrieval processes, and metaphoric imagery. As students research, they are not equipped with adequate knowledge of Web genres and need a metaphorical framework with which they can understand the ways different texts operate in virtual spaces.

A ‘shreds’ video combines existing live music concert footage, predominantly including a famous
male rock guitarist or guitar based rock group, with a self-produced overdubbed soundtrack. The
result is a musical parody that exists in an intersection between production and consumption and
works as a within-genre evolution. The shred is controversial and its most popular instalments
have been pulled from YouTube on claims of copyright infringement. This paper examines shreds
as a form of multimodal intertextual critique by engaging with the videos themselves, as well as
audience responses to them. As such, the applied method is genre analysis and multimodal semiotics
geared towards the analysis of intertextual elements. The paper shows how prodused parody
exists as a co-dependence between: (1) production and consumption; (2) homage and subversion;
(3) comprehension and miscomprehension; and (4) media synchronicity and socioeconomic dis/
harmony. The paper also discusses how shreds can be interpreted as tampered-with gender
performances. In conclusion, it becomes clear that the produsage of shred videos is part of ‘piracy
culture’ because it so carefully balances between the mainstream and counter-culture, between
the legal and the illegal, and between the commoditized artefact and networked production.

Swales's move-step approach (eg, 1981) to research article introductions is applied to the rhetorical organization of chairmen's statements in annual reports by British companies, drawing on 95 such documents obtained from 93 companies. The proposed relationships & confidence model suggests that these reports make three moves in their introductions: establishing relationships between the chairman, the company, & the readers; maintaining confidence; & reinforcing relationships already established. These moves are described as rhetorical strategies designed to achieve & enhance a particular image of the chairman & the company. It is suggested that the move-step method might be useful for raising the genre awareness of English for specific purpose (ESP) students & for improving ESP courses.

This is contrasted with the chairman's statement in the established genre of corporate annual reports. The texts in both corpora were issued by British companies. Four categories of metadiscourse are analysed, using terminology from Mauranen (1993). The study indicates that metadiscourse may play a significant role in new genres. The study concludes that writers of the emerging genre of corporate environmental reports use metadiscourse to guide the readers. It also shows that the use of metadiscourse may have distinctly different functions in emerging genres compared to established ones. The categories action markers and previews (local and global) are particularly useful in the comparison of the textual practices of established and emerging genres. Whereas the use of previews in the new genre informs and directs the readers as to the aims and global functions of the documents, in established genres this category may mark a deviation from what the writer sees as the conventional rhetorical (Move–Step) pattern.

A1 - Pereira, Mauricio G. KW - evolution KW - genre KW - IMRAD KW - science AB - Background: The scientific article in the health sciences evolved from the letter form and purely descriptive style in the seventeenth century to a very standardized structure in the twentieth century known as introduction, methods, results, and discussion (IMRAD). The pace in which this structure began to be used and when it became the most used standard of today's scientific discourse in the health sciences is not well established.Purpose: The purpose of this study is to point out the period in time during which the IMRAD structure was definitively and widely adopted in medical scientific writing. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, the frequency of articles written under the IMRAD structure was measured from 1935 to 1985 in a randomly selected sample of articles published in four leading journals in internal medicine: the British Medical Journal, JAMA, The Lancet, and the New England Journal of Medicine. Results: The IMRAD structure, in those journals, began to be used in the 1940s. In the 1970s, it reached 80% and, in the 1980s, was the only pattern adopted in original papers. Conclusions: Although recommended since the beginning of the twentieth century, the IMRAD structure was adopted as a majority only in the 1970s. The influence of other disciplines and the recommendations of editors are among the facts that contributed to authors adhering to it.

Unlike other analytical frameworks, the genre ecology framework has been developed particularly for technical communication research, particularly in its emphasis on interpretation, contingency, and stability. Although this framework shows much promise, it is more of a heuristic than a formal modeling tool; it helps researchers to pull together impressions, similar to contextual design’s work models, but it has not been implemented as formally as distributed cognition’s functional systems. In this paper, I move toward a formal modeling of genre ecologies. First, I describe the preliminary results of an observational study of seven workers in two different functional teams of a medium-sized telecommunications company (a subset of a larger, 89-worker study). I use these preliminary results to develop a model of the genres used by these two teams, how those genres interconnect to co-mediate the workers’ activities, and the breakdowns that the workers encounter as genres travel across the boundaries of the two teams. I conclude by (a) describing how formal models of genre ecologies can help in planning and designing computer documentation and (b) discussing how these models can be further developed.

In this paper I describe four frameworks that have been used to describe assemblages of genres: genre sets, genre systems, genre repertoires, and genre ecologies. At first glance, they seem to be interchangeable, but there are definite and sometimes quite deep differences among them. I compare and contrast these frameworks and suggest when each might be most useful.

Using two historical case studies, the authors describe how a genre ecologies framework provides new insights into the complex ways that people use texts to make sense of computer technologies. The framework is designed to help researchers and documentors account for contingency, decentralization, and stability in the multiple texts the people use while working with computers. The authors conclude by proposing three heuristic tools to support the work of technical communicators engaged in developing documentation today: exploratory questions, genre ecology diagrams, and organic engineering.

The utility of metaphor as a visual–rhetorical design framework has diminished dramatically, and continues to erode. Metaphor has two important limitations as it is commonly applied in interface design: (a) metaphors are indexical, pointing to physical artifacts that they represent, and (b) metaphors are static, that is, unwavering in their indexicality. Both assumptions are demonstrably flawed. In this article, I first critically examine metaphor’s limitations as a visual–rhetorical framework for designing, evaluating, and critiquing user interfaces. Next, I outline an alternate framework for visual rhetoric, that of genre ecologies, and discuss how it avoids some of the limitations of metaphor. Finally, I use an empirical study of computer users to illustrate the genre-ecology framework and contrast it with metaphor.

The paper first discusses how the impact of bad grammar is enhanced by the salience and universal visibility on the screen. The main part of the paper argues that the language of company websites often represents fossilized rhetorical structures as a paper text hangover from the medial conditions of reading written texts and views this residue as an evolutionary stage of the evolution towards a medially appropriate style.

Reception histories are retrospectives; they look back at publications and ask
who has cited them, how often, when, where and why. This paper takes an
influential 1996 paper on genre analysis and examines how it has played out
intertextually over the 15 years or so since its publication. The main sources used
have been Google Scholar and the Web of Science. The quantitative results show
that it has been primarily, but not exclusively, cited in ESP publications. The
more qualitative aspect of this investigation reveals that its value for most later
commentators lies in its review-article potential to act as an interpretive frame
for subsequent work. The paper ends with a discussion of whether today we
should accept just “three traditions” for genre analysis and its pedagogical
applications or look further afield.

Within these settings, genres help writers compose recognizable information artifacts. Increasingly, however, many professions are becoming mobile, and mobile technologies (e.g., personal digital assistants [PDAs]) are creating problems of translation as writers attempt to make genres work across contexts. Mobile devices uproot genres from their native contexts, undercutting their ability to mediate discursive activity. The semantically reduced design of PDA-accessible information magnifies these problems by obscuring, but not erasing, genre characteristics that tie information to its native context. Readers must assume the burden of composing meaningful information artifacts,work otherwise offloaded to genres. The author explores the nature of this composition burden in a case study of veterinary students. He finds that context and the degree of mobility both influence student perception of this composition burden.

The paper discusses genre theory in the field of e-Democracy. A framework for analysing communicative genres related to four stereotypical e-Democracy models is suggested. A case study of a web based discussion board in a municipality illustrates the implications of applying the genre lens to the e-Democracy research and practice, with lessons learned to considered in the future efforts on e-Democracy. Based on observations from the case, a theoretical concept of autopoietic cybergenre is suggested and its potential significance for future e-Democracy initiatives is addressed. An autopoietic cybergenre, such as a web-based discussion board, includes inherent capability for meta-communication enabling continuous structuring of the purpose(s) and parts of the form of the genre in question itself.
