%0 Journal Article %J Simulation & Gaming %D 2006 %T Genre and Game Studies: Toward a Critical Approach to Video Game Genres %A Apperley, Thomas H. %K genre %K interactivity %K remediation %K video game %X This article examines the notion of genre in video games. The main argument is that the market-based categoriesof genre that have been developed in the context of video games obscure the new medium’s crucial defining feature, by dividing them into categories (loosely) organized by their similarities to prior forms of mediation. The article explores the inherent tension between the conception of video games as a unified new media form, and the current fragmented genre-based approach that explicitly or implicitly concatenates video games with prior media forms. This tension reflects the current debate, within the fledgling discipline of Game Studies, between those who advocate narrative as the primary tool for understanding video games, “narratologists,” and those that oppose this notion, “ludologists.” In reference to this tension, the article argues that video game genres be examined in order to assess what kind of assumptions stem from the uncritical acceptance of genre as a descriptive category. Through a critical examination of the key game genres, this article will demonstrate how the clearly defined genre boundaries collapse to reveal structural similarities between the genres that exist within the current genre system, defined within the context of visual aesthetic or narrative structure. The inability of the current genre descriptions to locate and highlight these particular features suggests that to privilege the categories of the visual and narrative is a failure to understand the medium. The article concludes by suggesting that the tension between “ludology” and “narratology” can be more constructively engaged by conceptualizing video games as operating in the interplay between these two taxonomies of genre. %B Simulation & Gaming %V 37 %P 6–23 %8 2006 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J College Composition and Communication %D 2012 %T Rhetorical Scarcity: Spatial and Economic Inflections on Genre Change %A Risa Applegarth %K genre %K history %K professional %K rhetoric %K science %X

This study examines how changes in a key scientific genre supported anthropology’s early twentieth-century bid for scientific status. Combining spatial theories of genre with inflections from the register of economics, I develop the concept of rhetorical scarcity to characterize this genre change not as evolution but as manipulation that produces a manufactured situation of intense rhetorical constraint.

The initial outcomes of this diagnostic assessment suggest that students’ ability to successfully identify and characterize rhetorical and textual features of a genre does not guarantee their successful writing performance in the genre. Although previous active participation in genre production (writing) seems to have a defining influence on students’ ability to write in the genre, such participation appears to be a necessary but insufficient precondition for genre-competence development. The authors discuss the usefulness of probing student antecedent genre knowledge early in communication courses as a potential source for macrolevel curriculum decisions and microlevel pedagogical adjustments in course design, and they propose directions for future research. %B Journal of Business & Technical Communication %V 24 %P 476–515 %8 2010 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Written Communication %D 2011 %T The Writing’s on the Board: The Global and the Local in Teaching Undergraduate Mathematics Through Chalk Talk %A Artemeva, Natalia %A Fox, Janna %K activity system %K community of practice %K genre %K globalization %K mathematics %K pedagogy %K rhetorical genre studies %X This article reports on an international study of the teaching of undergraduatemathematics in seven countries. Informed by rhetorical genre theory, activity theory, and the notion of Communities of Practice, this study explores a pedagogical genre at play in university mathematics lecture classrooms. The genre is mediational in that it is a tool employed in the activity of teaching. The data consist of audio/video-recorded lectures, observational notes, semistructured interviews, and written artifacts collected from 50 participants who differed in linguistic, cultural, and educational backgrounds; teaching experience; and languages of instruction. The study suggests that chalk talk, namely, writing out a mathematical narrative on the board while talking aloud, is the central pedagogical genre of the undergraduate mathematics lecture classroom. Pervasive pedagogical genres, like chalk talk, which develop within global disciplinary communities of practice, appear to override local differences across contexts of instruction. Better understanding these genres may lead to new insights regarding academic literacies and teaching. %B Written Communication %V 28 %P 345–379 %8 2011 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J English for Specific Purposes %D 2008 %T The Evolutionary Nature of Genre: An Investigation of the Short Texts Accompanying Research Articles in the Scientific Journal Nature %A Ayers, Gael %K abstract %K applied linguistics %K evolution %K genre %K IMRAD %K research article %K science %X The present empirical analysis of the short texts accompanying research articles in the scientificjournal Nature covering a period from 1991 to 2005, not only shows that these texts are significantly different from prescriptive models of abstracts, but that they have also recently undergone a further change. Up until 1996, in contrast to the traditionally viewed structure of abstracts (Introduction- Methods-Results-Conclusion/Discussion (IMRC/D)), the short texts in Nature vary considerably in structure with only 18% of those studied having the basic IMRC/D format and the Results being the only obligatory move. This manipulation of structure, accompanied by the predominant use of the Present and Present Perfect active, the use of modifiers, the apparent removal of hedging to strengthen claims all contribute to make these texts eye-catching, to advertise a paper’s contribution. With the introduction of the e-version of the journal in 1997, further changes occurred. Many promotional elements have been retained, and though the texts have become much more standardized in their structure, the Methods have been completely removed and the Results incorporated into the Conclusion which becomes the only obligatory move. This change in structure, combined with the inclusion of a greater amount of commentary, greater inclusion of information concerning the study’s effect of the field as a whole, and the inclusion of explicit definitions, shows an evident concern for the ‘‘general reader’’ and indicates a kind of ‘‘democratization’’ of the scientific community. Technological advancements in the field of science appear to have also contributed to these modifications coming about. %B English for Specific Purposes %V 27 %P 22–41 %8 2008 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Critical Discourse Studies %D 2010 %T Hybrid Genres and the Cognitive Positioning of Audiences in the Political Discourse of Hizbollah %A Badran, Dany %K genre %K hybrid genre %K ideology %K pragmatics %K rhetoric %K stylistics %X This paper aims at providing a better understanding of the workings of political rhetoric in the discourse of Hizbollah by examining relatively underexplored socio-cognitive dimensions in production and reception of political speeches. It argues for the centrality of the macro-linguistic textual notion of hybrid genres to the understanding of the socio-cultural makeup of speaker-audience relations and dynamics. The adequateness and uniqueness of the Lebanese, and by extension, the Middle-Eastern context are more clearly evident in the overwhelming dominance of dogmatic discourses which, I argue, both trigger and aid the perpetual construction and reconstruction of ideologically susceptible audiences. Elements of these discourses such as religious, political, military and even literary blend in a unique way in public, normally political, speeches to produce a type of hybrid genre which helps construct constantly shifting audience roles with varying effective power. A pragmatic-stylistic analysis of the discourse of conflict, I propose, can help provide a starting point for understanding the complexity of the rhetorical situation in the region especially in the context of continuously rising extremism. %B Critical Discourse Studies %V 7 %P 191–201 %8 2010 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Linguistic Anthropology %D 1999 %T Genre %A Bauman, Richard %K Bakhtin %K boundedness %K coherence %K cohesion %K decontextualization %K genre %K recontextualization %K style %B Journal of Linguistic Anthropology %V 9 %P 84–87 %8 1999 %G eng %0 Book %B Reference Guides to Rhetoric and Composition %D 2010 %T Genre: An Introduction to History, Theory, Research, and Pedagogy %A Bawarshi, Anis S. %A Reiff, Mary Jo %E Bazerman, Charles %K composition %K ESP %K genre %K lingiustics %K literature %K rhetoric %K sociology %B Reference Guides to Rhetoric and Composition %I Parlor Press %C West Lafayette, IN %8 2010 %@ 254-8879 (this is the SAN; no ISBN listed) %G eng %U http://wac.colostate.edu/books/bawarshi_reiff/ %0 Generic %D 2004 %T What Writing Does and How It Does It: An Introduction to Analyzing Texts and Textual Practices %A Bazerman, Charles %A Prior, Paul %K activity %K Barton %K content analysis %K discourse analysis %K genres %K Huckin %K intertextuality %K multiple media %K process tracing %K rhetorical analysis %K Selzer %K speech acts %K Wysocki %I Lawrence Erlbaum Associates %C Mahway, NJ %8 2004 %@ 0-8058-3806-6 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Written Communication %D 2000 %T Learning the Trade: A Social Apprenticeship Model for Gaining Writing Expertise %A Beaufort, Anne %K discourse community %K genre %K genre system %K hierarchy %K role %K social apprenticeship %K socialization %K writing %X Taking a social constructionist point of view and drawing on the work in cognitive psychologyon situated cognition and expert performances, this study reports on a segment of an ethnography of writing in a workplace setting that reveals the interconnections of discourse community goals, writers' roles, and the socialization process for writers new to a given discourse community. Specifically, the data reveal 15 different writing roles assumed by members of the discourse community that depict a continuum from novice to expert writing behaviors. Writing roles were defined in relation to both the importance to community goals of the text to be written and to the amount of context-specific writing knowledge required to accomplish the task. The study applies the notion of legitimate peripheral participation in a discourse community and creates a framework for conceptualizing a social apprenticeship in writing either in school or nonschool settings. %B Written Communication %V 17 %P 185–223 %8 2000 %G eng %0 Book %D 1994 %T The Ideology of Genre: A Comparative Study of Generic Instability %A Beebee, Thomas O. %K Althusser %K ars dictaminis %K Bakhtin %K Derrida %K evolution %K genre %K Jameson %K literature %K romance %K speech act %K Todorov %K use-value %K Western %I Pennsylvania State University Press %C University Park, PA %8 1994 %@ 0-271-02570-0 %G eng %0 Book Section %B Genre Knowledge in Disciplinary Communication: Cognition/Culture/Power %D 1995 %T News Value in Scientific Journal Articles %A Berkenkotter, Carol %A Huckin, Thomas N. %K evolution %K genre %K news %K reading %K science %B Genre Knowledge in Disciplinary Communication: Cognition/Culture/Power %I Lawrence Erlbaum Associates %C Hillsdale, NJ %P 27–44 %8 1995 %G eng %0 Book %D 2010 %T The Pragmatic Turn %A Bernstein, Richard J. %K Dewey %K Habermas %K Hegel %K Heidegger %K James %K Peirce %K philosophy %K pragmatic %K pragmatism %K Putnam %K Rorty %K Wittgenstein %I Polity %C Cambridge %8 2010 %@ 978-0-7456-4908-5 %G eng %0 Book %B Applied Linguistics and Language Study %D 1993 %T Analysing Genre: Language Use in Professional Settings %A Bhatia, Vijay K. %E Candlin, Christopher N. %K business %K genre %K law %K linguistics %K research %B Applied Linguistics and Language Study %I Longman %C London %8 1993 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Theory, Culture, & Society %D 2006 %T Classification %A Boyne, Roy %K classification %K identity %K representation %K subjectivity %K universals %B Theory, Culture, & Society %V 23 %P 21–50 %8 2006 %G eng %0 Book Section %B Into the Blogosphere: Rhetoric, Community, and the Culture of Weblogs %D 2004 %T Remediation, Genre, and Motivation: Key Concepts for Teaching with Weblogs %A Brooks, Kevin %A Nichols, Cindy %A Pirebe, Sybil %E Gurak, Laura %E Antonijevic, Smiljana %E Johnson, Laurie %E Ratliff, Clancy %E Reymann, Jessica %K genre %K pedagogy %K remediation %K teaching %K weblog %B Into the Blogosphere: Rhetoric, Community, and the Culture of Weblogs %I University of Minnesota Libraries, http://blog.lib.umn.edu/blogosphere/remediation_genre.html %C Minneapolis, MN %8 2004 %G eng %U http://blog.lib.umn.edu/blogosphere/remediation_genre.html %0 Book %D 2010 %T Readings in Rhetorical Criticism %A Burgchardt, Carl %K rhetorical criticism %7 4th %I Strata %C State College, PA %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Adaptation in Film & Performance %D 2011 %T Pride and Prejudice and the adaptation genre %A Deborah Cartmell %K adaptation %K biopic %K genre %K Jane Austen %K Pride and Prejudice %K romantic comedy %X

Following from the work of Thomas Leitch (2008) and Christine Geraghty (2009),
adaptations that position themselves as adaptations are considered in relation to
an evolving definition of an adaptation genre. In particular, Pride and Prejudice
is regarded as a template for such a genre, a genre signified by a period setting;
period music; a focus on intertitles, words, books and authors; the foregrounding of
‘new’ media; the inclusion of artwork in the sets or in the mise-en-scène; implicit or
explicit tributes to the author; and an appeal to a female audience through the insertion
of female-friendly episodes. The films Pride and Prejudice (1940), Pride and
Prejudice (2005) and Becoming Jane (2007) are examined in relation to this concept
of the genre ‘adaptation’.

Epideictic scientific rhetoric, therefore, can be said to celebrate the scientific method in general as much as it does the particular line of research at hand. %B Journal of Business and Technical Communication %V 21 %P 303–323 %8 2007 %G eng %0 Book %D 2005 %T Teaching writing: Craft, art, genre %A Fran Claggett %K composition %K genre %K middle %K resource %K secondary %K teaching %K writing %X

In today’s educational climate, it is more important than ever that we prepare our students to be effective and competent writers who can write for a variety of purposes. How can we teach our students the skills they need to be successful while also fostering an appreciation for the process, craft, and art of writing?

Drawing from sound theory and research as well as on many years of experience in the English classroom, Fran Claggett and colleagues Joan Brown, Nancy Patterson, and Louann Reid have created a writing teacher’s resource to help both new and experienced teachers sort through the often complex issues in the teaching of writing. With innovative, teacher-tested strategies for creating a classroom in which students thrive as writers, Teaching Writing: Craft, Art, Genre is a must-have addition to every writing teacher’s library.

Contemporary genre theory is probably not what you learned in college. Its dynamic focus on writing as a social activity in response to a particular situation makes it a powerful tool for teaching practical skills and preparing students to write beyond the classroom.

Although genre is often viewed as simply a method for labeling different types of writing, Deborah Dean argues that exploring genre theory can help teachers energize their classroom practices.

Genre Theory synthesizes theory and research about genres and provides applications that help teachers artfully address the challenges of teaching high school writing.

Knowledge of genre theory helps teachers:

Because genre theory connects writing and life, Dean’s applications provide detailed suggestions for class projects—such as examining want ads, reading fairy tales, and critiquing introductions—that build on students’ lived experience with genres. These wide-ranging activities can be modified for a broad variety of grade levels and student interests.

In recent decades New Testament scholarship has developed an increasing interest in how the Gospel of John interacts with literary conventions of genre and form in the ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman context. The present volume brings together leading scholars in the field in order to discuss the status quaestionis and to identify new exegetical frontiers. In the Fourth Gospel, genres and forms serve as vehicles of ideological and theological meaning. The contributions to this volume aim at demonstrating how awareness of ancient and modern genre theories and practices advances our understanding of the Fourth Gospel, both in terms of the text as a whole and in terms of the various literary tiles that contribute to the Gospel’s genre mosaic.

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 père 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.

Scholars of rhetoric and writing have long recognized the mediated nature of rhetorical action. From Plato’s early indictments of writing as enemy of memoria to Burke’s recognition of instrumental causes to recent analyses of digital mediation (Haas 1996; Spinuzzi 2008; Swarts 2008; Ittersum and Ching 2013), the study of meaning-making refuses one-to-one, transparent theories of communication, instead recognizing that there’s more to rhetorical action than humans. This article follows the trail of Haas, Swarts and others, arguing that analyses of mediation uncover much about human motives, digital communities and rhetorical action. I argue that technologies often function as rhetorical genres, providing what Miller characterizes as “typified rhetorical actions based in recurrent situations” that occur in uniquely digital spaces (159). Working from sites of participatory archival creation and curation[1], I argue that invisible rhetorical genres operating at macroscopic levels of scale are central to shaping individual and communal activity in sites of distributed social production. To support this claim, I investigate two applications – a content management system (CMS) called Gazelle and a bittorrent tracker called Ocelot – to demonstrate how largely invisible server-side software shapes rhetorical action, circumscribes individual agency and cultivates community identity in sites of participatory archival curation. By articulating CMSs and other macroscopic software as rhetorical genres, I hope to extend nascent investigations into the medial capacities of digital tools that shape our collective digital experience.

The blog illustrates well the constant change that characterizes electronic media. With a rapidity equal to that of their initial adoption, blogs became not a single genre but a multiplicity. To explore the relationship between the centrifugal forces of change and the centripetal tendencies of recurrence and typification, we extend our earlier study of personal blogs with a contrasting study of the kairos, technological affordances, rhetorical features, and exigence for what we call public affairs blogs. At the same time, we explore the relationship between genre and medium, examining genre evolution in the context of changing technological affordances. We conclude that genre and medium must be distinguished and that the aesthetic satisfactions of genre help account for recurrence in an environment of change.

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.

We started this investigation by using the historical genre approach to determine the historical roots of reality television. The historical approach also enabled us to identify four genre conventions associated with reality television, that is, the focus on ordinary people, voyeurism, audience participation, and the attempt to simulate real life. These characteristics furthermore explain the popularity of this genre with the viewing audience. To make provision for one genre `borrowing' from another, we suggested the use of the hybrid mix (or generic mix) model which enables researchers to identify the content (e.g. the narrative) of reality programmes as well as its unique, formalistic characteristics. %B Communicatio %V 33 %P 62–76 %8 2007 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J English for Specific Purposes %D 2013 %T The Article of the future: Strategies for genre stability and change %A Carmen Pérez-Llantada %K ESP pedagogy %K genre analysis %K genre and media %K research articles %K rhetoric and composition %X

This article compares the Article of the Future (AofF) prototypes (<http://www.articleofthefuture.com/>) with a corpus of journal articles (Journal Article Corpus – JAC) to demonstrate that the article genre in an online environment is a “stabilised-for-now or stabilised-enough” site for social interaction (Schryer, 1994, p. 108). Results show that the prototypes adhere to the typical structural patterns of the JAC texts, while also embedding discernible structural variations across the disciplinary spectrum. They display generic stability concerning authors’ use of intertextuality for framing their texts in a social/institutional context. Comparison of the AofF with the JAC texts also illustrates a similar lexicogrammatical profile. Consistent with previous literature, recurring bundles in the AofF prototypes are associated with structural elaboration, complexity and a compressed style, and perform referential, text-organising and stance functions in the discourse. Complementing corpus findings, an exploratory survey of authors suggests that their actual text-composing/reading practices of online articles are governed by the long-established communicative purposes of the genre. Findings suggest, though, that the new online part-genres (research highlights, graphical abstracts, interactive graphs, embedded videos, hyperlinks), potential strategies for generic change, might be changing the writers’ perceptions towards online articles. The article concludes with some practical implications for ESP practitioners.

Drawing on bibliometric methods (citation analysis and content analysis) and literature review, this paper offers some critical reflections of how genre analysis has been used, applied, expanded and refined to address the challenges of a culturally and linguistically diverse academic and research community. The first reflection opens with a brief review of the privileged status of English as the international language of academic and research communication to discuss contrasting scholarly positions that regard ‘Englishization’ as either ‘help’ or ‘hindrance’. The second reflection focuses on rhetorical move analysis, an aspect of genre theory that to date has been little considered outside ESP/EAP traditions of genre analysis. It discusses how move analysis, in cross-fertilization with various theoretical/analytical frameworks, can add to our understanding of the way L2 academic English writers accomplish meso- and micro-rhetorical manoeuvres. The final reflection touches upon the impact of internationalization and research assessment policies on the current knowledge exchange, dissemination and publication practices to emphasize the value of the Swalesian task-based approach and advocate a multiliterate rhetorical consciousness-raising pedagogy. The paper concludes with some suggestions for future genre research and proposes ways of articulating cogent language instructional intervention to empower members of bi-/multiliterate academic and research communities professionally.

There is little dispute that technologies are impacting academic communication today, rendering new forms of accessing information and disseminating knowledge. To explore this impact, in the first part of the paper I review a selection of scholarly literature that addresses ways in which digital technologies are shifting the scholars’ information access behavior and introducing new forms of research dissemination. I also discuss how these new forms of communication are modeling new ecologies of genre systems and genre sets. In the second part of the paper I conduct genre analysis with a sample corpus of texts from different disciplines to illustrate how the emergence of new multimedia genres and the use of multimodality, hypertextuality and interdiscursivity features in genres within electronic environments appear to be pointing at generic evolution and innovation. In light of the findings, I propose some areas in which genre research can engage in interdisciplinary conversation (with ethnography, academic/digital literacies studies, situated genre analysis and reception studies). Regarding EAP instruction, I suggest a pedagogy that provides corpus-based linguistic and rhetorical input on the new genre formats, opportunities for noticing, hands-on practice and critical awareness of aspects of genre innovation and change.

In the past decades, the EAP field has witnessed a growing interest in compiling multilingual corpora of various sizes. The aim has been to investigate how scholars whose first language is not English use English for academic and research communication. This flourishing field of investigation, cutting across a broad repertoire of genres, has been fuelled by the fact that the international academic and research arena has strongly favoured the role of English as the medium for communication (Lillis/Curry 2010; Mauranen 2012). However, this field of investigation has not yet become a matter of conceptual enquiry. To fill this gap, the aim of this chapter is (i) to critically review the main research trends used to analyse genres by means of multilingual corpora, (ii) to examine the reasons for the paucity of systematic contrastive analyses at the phraseological level for profiling L2 English academic texts and defining what an ‘expert’ academic L2 English user is, and (iii) to discuss the challenges that conducting large-scale empirical studies of academic English variants in the written domain would pose if codification of those variants were undertaken. Essentially, in what follows I critically assess relevant concepts in contrastive studies of EAP, address emerging methodological trends and reflect on a number of topics of current interest in relation to multilingual corpora. To do so I will draw on a combination of literature survey, bibliometric data and conceptual analysis, the purpose being two-fold. Firstly, it is of interest to the EAP scholarly community to determine how multilingual corpora can best help EAP researchers identify genre features across cultures and languages. Secondly, given its obvious practical implications, it is also of interest to show how EAP teachers can make research-informed decisions based on multilingual corpora with a view to catering to their students’ learning needs in the best possible way.

This article turns to genre theory's recent explorations of uptake, broadly defined as the ways genres interact, as a resource for sketching a pedagogy of shuttling between genres. Using uptake, I intend to reconceptualize multimodal compositions as a means of participating in rhetorical ecologies that consist of transactions between genres instead of thinking of remixes as an end in themselves. In this article, I first define the concept of uptake in detail and discuss its use in rhetorical genre studies. After further illustrating uptake through an analysis of transactions between YouTube parodies and the 2005 German language film Downfall, I discuss existing scholarship in multimodal composition that draws on genre but not the idea of uptake in order to lay a foundation for a pedagogy that highlights the links, feedbacks, and rules that coordinate genres. My aim in the last section is to sketch possibilities for how teachers and students can deploy the concept of uptake as a rhetorical tool to strengthen their awareness of genre and multimodality. In doing this, I hope to reposition multimodal projects as beginnings or midpoints that lead to students’ emersion into public discourse rather than culminations or end goals in themselves. Integrating studies of uptake into writing curricula in this way will help students to make sophisticated rhetorical decisions in the age of media convergence.

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. %B Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication %V 12 %P 1409–1427 %8 2007 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Written Communication %D 1993 %T Records as Genre %A Schryer, Catherine F. %K clinic %K genre %K research %K veterinary medicine %B Written Communication %V 10 %P 200–234 %8 1993 %G eng %0 Book Section %B Communicative Practices in Workplaces and the Professions: Cultural Perspectives on the Regulation of Discourse and Organizations %D 2007 %T Regularized Practices: Genres, Improvisation, and Identity Formation in Health-Care Professions %A Schryer, Catherine F. %A Lingard, Lorelei %A Spafford, Marlee %E Thralls, Charlotte %E Zachry, Mark %K case study %K genre %K health-care communication %K professional identity %K regularized %K regulated resource %K techne %B Communicative Practices in Workplaces and the Professions: Cultural Perspectives on the Regulation of Discourse and Organizations %I Baywood %C Amityville, NY %P 21–44 %8 2007 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Business and Technical Communication %D 2005 %T Genre Theory, Health-Care Discourse, and Professional Identity Formation %A Schryer, Catherine F. %A Spoel, Philippa %K genre %K health care %K identity %K midwifery %K rhetoric %B Journal of Business and Technical Communication %V 19 %P 249–278 %8 2005 %G eng %0 Book Section %B The Rhetoric and Ideology of Genre: Strategies for Stability and Change %D 2002 %T Problems of Generalization/Genrelization: The Case of the Doctor-Patient Interview %A Segal, Judy Z. %E Coe, Richard %E Lingard, Lorelei %E Teslenko, Tatiana %K conversation %K medicine %K reification %K similarity %B The Rhetoric and Ideology of Genre: Strategies for Stability and Change %I Hampton Press %C Cresskill, NJ %P 171–184 %8 2002 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J International Journal of Applied Linguistics %D 1996 %T Rhetorical Organization of Chairmen's Statements %A Skulstad, Aud Solbjørd %K annual report %K business %K introduction %K rhetoric %K Swales %X J.

This article offers a way of using the theory of audience design—how speakers position different audience groups as main addressees, overhearers, or bystanders—for written discourse. It focuses on main addressees, that is, those audience members who are expected to participate in and respond to a speaker’s utterances. The text samples are articles, letters, and editorials on women’s suffrage that were published between 1909 and 1912 in Canadian periodicals. In particular, the author analyzes noun phrases with which suffrageskeptical women are addressed, relying on the theory of constitutive rhetoric to highlight the interpellative force with which the audience design of this public political debate operates.

Este trabajo analiza tres de los principales criterios mediante los cuales se ha buscado clasificar la predicación hispánica en géneros, entre los que se ha incluido el panegírico. Se revisa la tradición retórica clásica y se establecen diferencias con la oratoria sagrada, con el fin de determinar en qué medida es posible clasificar géneros del sermón. Además, se busca determinar cuál sería el lugar del panegírico dentro de la retórica sacra. Palabras clave: retórica sagrada, panegírico, discurso, Nueva España, siglos XVII-XVIII.

This work is based on a review of three of the main criteria used to classify Hispanic preaching in genres (types of sermons). These criteria have also been used to classify panegyric as a genre of sacred oratory. Establishing differences between classical rhetoric and sacred oratory, this paper will try to define the place of the panegyric in preaching, thus determining in which ways it is possible to speak about genres of the sermon. Key words: sacred oratory, panegyric, discourse, New Spain, 16th and 17th centuries.

Contemporary genre theory is dominated by metaphors of evolution and speciation; this article proposes alternate metaphors of spatiality and exchange.
