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 Book Section %B Proceedings of the 38th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Science %D 2005 %T What Are the Characteristics of Digital Genres?

The extension involves a two-dimensional view on genres which allows us to account for the fact that digital genres not only act as text but also as medium. Genre theoretical concepts such as 'communicative purpose', 'moves', and 'rhetorical structure' are being adapted to accommodate the multi-modal, non-linear characteristics of web texts. The homepage (the first, introductory page on a website - not to be confused with the 'personal homepage' genre) constitutes the material for the theoretical discussions and the exemplary analyses. %B Proceedings of the 38th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Science %I IEEE Computer Society Press %C Los Alamitos, CA %P 98a– %8 2005 %G eng %0 Generic %D 1999 %T Writing Business: Genres, Media and Discourses %A Bargiela-Chiappini, Francesca %A Nickerson, Catherine %K diccourse community %K e-mail %K email %K engineering %K fax %K genre %K intertextual %K letter %K sales %B Language in Social Life %I Pearson/Longman %C Harlow, UK %8 1999 %@ 0-582-31985-4 %G eng %0 Book Section %B Constructing Experience %D 1994 %T Whose Moment?

One way of helping faculty understand the integral role of writing in their various disciplines
is to present disciplines as ways of doing, which links ways of knowing and
writing in the disciplines. Ways of doing identified by faculty are used to describe broader
generic and disciplinary structures, metagenres, and metadisciplines.
Dr. Levitin identifies six fundamental song functions or types-friendship, joy, comfort, religion, knowledge, and love-then shows how each in its own way has enabled the social bonding necessary for human culture and society to evolve. He shows, in effect, how these "six songs" work in our brains to preserve the emotional history of our lives and species.
Dr. Levitin combines cutting-edge scientific research from his music cognition lab at McGill University and work in an array of related fields; his own sometimes hilarious experiences in the music business; and illuminating interviews with musicians such as Sting and David Byrne, as well as conductors, anthropologists, and evolutionary biologists. The World in Six Songs is, ultimately, a revolution in our understanding of how human nature evolved-right up to the iPod.

For power gamers, technology and gender are most highly integrated.These women enjoy multiple pleasures from the gaming experience, including mastery of game-based skills and competition. Moderate gamers play games in order to cope with their real lives.These women reported taking pleasure in controlling the gaming environment, or alternately that games provide a needed distraction from the pressures of their daily lives. Finally, the non-gamers who participated in the study expressed strong criticisms about game-playing and gaming culture. For these women, games are a waste of time, a limited commodity better spent on other activities. %B New Media & Society %V 9 %P 555–576 %8 2007 %G eng %0 Book Section %B Traditions of Writing Research %D 2010 %T Writing in Multiple Contexts: Vygotskian CHAT Meets the Phenomenology of Genre. %A David Russell %B Traditions of Writing Research %P 353-364 %G eng %& 26 %0 Journal Article %J Mind, Culture, and Activity %D 1997 %T Writing and Genre in Higher Education and Workplaces: A Review of Studies That Use Cultural-Historical Activity Theory %A Russell, David R. %K classroom %K genre %K workplace %B Mind, Culture, and Activity %V 4 %P 224–237 %8 1997 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Business and Technical Communication %D 2000 %T Walking a Fine Line: Writing 'Negative News' Letters in an Insurance Company %A Schryer, Catherine F. %K Bourdieu %K business letter %K CDA %K genre %X 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. %B Journal of Business and Technical Communication %V 14 %P 445–497 %8 2000 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Business and Technical Communication %D 2000 %T Walking a Fine Line: Writing Negative Letters in an Insurance Company %A Schryer, Catherine F. %B Journal of Business and Technical Communication %V 14 %P 445-497 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Computers and Composition %D 2002 %T Web Research and Genres in Online Databases: When the Glossy Page Disappears %A Michelle Sidler %XThis 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.

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. %B Language@Internet %V 3 %P http://www.languageatinternet.de/articles/2006 %8 2006 %G eng %U http://www.languageatinternet.de/articles/2006 %0 Journal Article %J The Communication Review %D 1997 %T Writing Diaries, Reading Diaries: The Mechanics of Memory %A Steinitz, Rebecca %K diary %K genre %K journal %K privacy %K private %K representation %K secrecy %B The Communication Review %V 2 %P 43–58 %8 1997 %G eng %0 Book Section %B Genre in a changing world %D 2009 %T Worlds of genre—metaphors of genre %A Swales, JM %E Bazerman, C. %E Bonini, A. %E Figueiredo, D. %B Genre in a changing world %I WAC Clearinghouse and Parlor Press %C Fort Collins, CO %P 3-16 %G eng %0 Book Section %B Women, Science, and Medicine, 1500-1700 %D 1997 %T Women and Technical Writing, 1475-1700: Technology, Literacy, and Development of a Genre %A Elizabeth Tebeaux %A Lynette Hunter %A Sarah Hutton %B Women, Science, and Medicine, 1500-1700 %I Thrupp, Stroud, Gloucestershire %C Sutton %P 29-62 %G eng %& “Women and Technical Writing, 1475-1700: Technology, Literacy, and Development of a Genre.” %0 Journal Article %J International Journal of Human-Computer Studies %D 2006 %T Why Structure and Genre Matter for Users of Digital Information: A Longitudinal Experiment with Readers of a Web-Based Newspaper %A Vaughan, Misha W. %A Dillon, Andrew %K digital %K experiment %K genre %K structure %K usability %K web design %B International Journal of Human-Computer Studies %V 64 %P 502–526 %8 2006 %G eng %0 Book %D 2003 %T Writing Power: Communication in an Engineering Center %A Winsor, Dorothy A. %K capital %K engineering %K genre %K knowledge %K power %K rhetoric %K text %I State University of New York Press %C Albany, NY %8 2003 %@ 0-7914-5758-3 %G eng
