This study takes a novel approach to the study of threatening communications by arguing that they can be characterized as a genre – a genre that generally carries strong connotations of intimidation, fear, aggression, power, and coercion. We combine the theoretical framework of Rhetorical Genre Studies (RGS) with results from theoretical and empirical analyses of threats to arrive at a more comprehensive perspective of threats. Since threats do not form part of any regular curriculum of genres, we designed a survey to test how recognizable they are. While scholars on threats describe threatening communications as remarkably varied in form and contextual features, the majority of our respondents categorized test items as threats without prompts of any kind, indicating that threats are a recognizable genre. We propose that threatening communications belong to a wider category of illicit genres: i.e. genres that generally disrupt and upset society and commonly affect their targets negatively. The uptakes of illicit genres are very different from those of other genres, as the users of the genres often actively avoid naming them, making uptake communities significant shapers of illicit genres. The present study contributes to research on threatening communications, since genre theory sheds light on important situational factors affecting the interpretation of a text as a threat – this is a particularly contentious question when it comes to threats that are indirectly phrased. The study also contributes to genre theory by pointing to new territory for genre scholars to examine, namely illicit genres. Studies of illicit genres also have wider, societal benefits as they shed light on different kinds of problematic rhetorical behavior that are generally considered destructive or even dangerous.

Prior research, however, has not investigated the joint influences of these factors. The current study extends previous research by empirically investigating the managerially relevant interactive influences of these factors within the context of the motion-picture industry. For example, should producers of more familiar genre movies, such as dramas and comedies, feature popular, but expensive, stars? Real-world data from two distinct time periods are used to test the hypotheses. The findings are consistent across the two time periods and reveal that for more familiar genre movies, star power and the valence of critics' reviews have less impact on the movie's performance in the market. In contrast, for the less familiar genre movies, stronger (vs. weaker) star power and more (vs. less) positive reviews have positive influence on the market performance. Further, for movies with less star power, the valence of critics' reviews has no impact on the performance. In contrast, for movies 'with greater star power, more (less) positive reviews have positive (negative) influence on movie performance. Managerial and theoretical implications, along with limitations of the findings and directions for future research, are offered. %B Psychology and Marketing %V 22 %P 203–223 %8 2005 %G eng %0 Book Section %B Textual Dynamics of the Professions: Historical and Contemporary Studies of Writing in Professional Communities %D 1991 %T Intertextuality in Tax Accounting: Generic, Referential, and Functional %A Devitt, Amy J %E Bazerman, Charles %E Paradis, James %K community %K genre set %K IRS %K profession %K tax accounting %B Textual Dynamics of the Professions: Historical and Contemporary Studies of Writing in Professional Communities %I University of Wisconsin Press %C Madison, WI %P 336–335 %8 1991 %G eng %U http://wac.colostate.edu/books/textual_dynamics/ %0 Book Section %B Textual Dynamics of the Professions: Historical and Contemporary Studies of Writing in Professional Communities %D 1991 %T Intertextuality in Tax Accounting: Generic, Referential, and Functional %A Devitt, Amy J. %E Bazerman, Charles %E Paradis, James %B Textual Dynamics of the Professions: Historical and Contemporary Studies of Writing in Professional Communities %I University of Wisconsin Press %C Madison, WI %P 336–355 %G eng %U http://wac.colostate.edu/books/textual_dynamics/ %0 Journal Article %J College English %D 2000 %T Integrating Rhetorical and Literary Theories of Genre %A Amy Devitt %K literary studies %K rhetorical genre studies %B College English %V 62 %8 07/2000 %G eng %N 6 %& 696 %0 Journal Article %J Publications of the Modern Language Association %D 2007 %T Introduction: Genres as Fields of Knowledge %A Dimock, Wai Chee %K Derrida %K digital %K drama %K epic %K fluidity %K genre %K kinship %K lyric %K media %K taxonomy %K virtual %B Publications of the Modern Language Association %V 122 %P 1377–1388 %8 2007 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %D 2005 %T Illustration and Language in Technical Communication %A Donnell, Jeffrey %B Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %V 35 %P 239-271 %G eng %R 10.2190/HY3L-WN98-QC5R-P3B3 %0 Journal Article %J Linguistics and the Human Sciences %D 2008 %T Introduction to the Special Issue on Genres and Social Ways of Being %A Figueiredo, Débora %A Bazerman, Charles %A Bonini, Adair %K genre %K SIGET IV %B Linguistics and the Human Sciences %V 3 %P 1-2 %8 2008 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Business and Technical Communication %D 2001 %T IText: Future Directions for Research on the Relationship between Information Technology and Writing %A Geisler, C. %A Bazerman, C. %A Doheny-Farina, S. %A Gurak, L. %A Haas, C. %A Johnson-Eilola, J. %A Kaufer, D.

In e-mail, we compose and read texts. On the Web, we read (and often compose) texts. And when we create and refer to the appointments and notes in our personal digital assistants, we use texts. Texts are deeply embedded in cultural, cognitive, and material arrangements that go back thousands of years. Information technologies with texts at their core are, by contrast, a relatively recent development. To participate with other information researchers in shaping the evolution of these ITexts, researchers and scholars must build on a knowledge base and articulate issues, a task undertaken in this article. The authors begin by reviewing the existing foundations for a research program in IText and then scope out issues for research over the next five to seven years. They direct particular attention to the evolving character of ITexts and to their impact on society. By undertaking this research, the authors urge the continuing evolution of technologies of text. %B Journal of Business and Technical Communication %V 15 %P 269–308 %8 2001 %G eng %U ://000169587000002 %!

This article is concerned with the complex relations between institutional politics and aesthetics in oppositional forms of popular culture. Indie is a contemporary genre which has its roots in punk's institutional and aesthetic challenge to the popular music industry but which, in the 1990s, has become part of the ‘mainstream’ of British pop. Case studies of two important ‘independents’, Creation and One Little Indian, are presented, and the aesthetic and institutional politics of these record companies are analysed in order to explore two related questions. First, what forces lead ‘alternative’ independent record companies towards practices of professionalization and of partnership/collaboration with major corporations? Second, what are the institutional and political-aesthetic consequences of such professionalization and partnership? In response to the first question, the article argues that pressures towards professionalization and partnership should be understood not only as an abandonment of previously held idealistic positions (a ‘sell-out’) and that deals with major record companies are not necessarily, in themselves, a source of aesthetic compromise. On the second question, it argues that collaboration with major record companies entails a relinquishing of autonomy for alternative independent record companies; but perspectives which ascribe negative aesthetic consequences directly to such problematic institutional arrangements may well be flawed.

This paper explores the non-adoption of an innovation via the concept of hybrid genres, that is digitalgenres that emerge from a non-digital material precedent. As instances of innovation these are often resisted because they disturb the order of activity and balance of power relations in a given situation, or require users to make conceptual and physical adaptation efforts that they consider too costly. The authors investigate such issues with a case study of the introduction of a hybrid digital genre, ODR or online dispute resolution, in legal practice.

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. %B Journal of the Medical Library Association %V 92 %P 364–371 %8 2004 %G eng %U http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC442179/ %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %D 2008 %T Information Technologies as Discursive Agents: Methodological Implications for the Empirical Study of Knowledge Work %A Swarts, Jason %B Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %V 38 %P 301-329 %G eng %R 10.2190/TW.38.4.b %0 Journal Article %J IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication %D 2013 %T Improving User Experience for Passenger Information Systems.

Montage theory enthrones editing as the essential creative act at the expense of other aspects of film; Bazin's Realist theory, seeking to right the balance, merely substitutes its own imbalance, downgrading montage and artifice; the revolutionary theory centered in Britain on Screen (but today very widespread) rejects-or at any rate seeks to "deconstruct"-Realist art in favor of the so-called "open text." Auteur theory, in its heyday, concentrated attention exclusively on the fingerprints, thematic or stylistic, of the individual artist; recent attempts to discuss the complete "filmic text" have tended to throw out ideas of personal authorship altogether.
