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. 10agenre10ainteractivity10aremediation10avideo game1 aApperley, Thomas, H

This volume explores cultural innovation and transformation as revealed through the emergence of new media genres. New media have enabled what impresses most observers as a dizzying proliferation of new forms of communicative interaction and cultural production, provoking multimodal experimentation, and artistic and entrepreneurial innovation. Working with the concept of genre, scholars in multiple fields have begun to explore these processes of emergence, innovation, and stabilization. Genre has thus become newly important in game studies, library and information science, film and media studies, applied linguistics, rhetoric, literature, and elsewhere. Understood as social recognitions that embed histories, ideologies, and contradictions, genres function as recurrent social actions, helping to constitute culture. Because genres are dynamic sites of tension between stability and change, they are also sites of inventive potential. Emerging Genres in New Media Environments brings together compelling papers from scholars in Brazil, Canada, England, and the United States to illustrate how this inventive potential has been harnessed around the world.

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. 10aaudience10agenre10ahybrid10amass media10amedia10amix10apanopticon10areality television10avoyeurism1 aPenzhorn, Heidi1 aPitout, Magriet uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/critical-historical-genre-analysis-reality-television01772nas a2200205 4500008004100000020001400041245005400055210005400109260006600163300001400229520111200243653001201355653001001367653001401377100001601391700001801407700003301425700002401458856008401482 2007 eng d a1808-765500aFrom Bakhtin to Mediated Multimodal Genre Systems0 aFrom Bakhtin to Mediated Multimodal Genre Systems aTubarão, BrazilbUniversity of Southern Santa Catarinac2007 a277–2863 aVoloshinov and Bakhtin’s expansive view of genres as concrete, historical phenomena, theirlinkage of dialogic semiotics (discourse) to the formation of individuals and societies (development), has been taken up in North American genre theory as an invitation to explore relations between genre and sociocultural theories (e.g., of Vygotsky, Schutz, Latour, Bourdieu), to see genres not as isolated texts/events but as forged within systems and chains of discourse woven into mediated activity (e.g., Bazerman; Berkenkotter; Prior; Russell), and to challenge the privileging of public texts by identifying genres that are occluded (Swales) or designed to mediate activity (Spinuzzi). Research has focused on semiotic dimensions of genres (e.g. Kress, Lemke), and situated analyses (e.g., Berkenkotter; Kamberelis; Prior) have investigated ways that literate activity involves laminated, multimodal chains of talk, visual representations, gestures, actions, artifacts, and writing. This presentation argues for the notion of mediated multimodal genre systems both theoretically and empirically.

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. 10aFoucault10agender10agenre10aidentity10avideo game10awomen1 aRoyse, Pam1 aLee, Joon1 aUndrahbuyan, Baasanjav1 aHopson, Mark1 aConsalvo, Mia uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/women-and-games-technologies-gendered-self01773nas a2200241 4500008004100000245007200041210006900113260000900182300001400191490000700205520107600212653001301288653001401301653001601315653001301331653001001344653001401354653001101368653001301379653001401392100002201406856010301428 1997 eng d00aRethinking Genre in School and Society: An Activity Theory Analysis0 aRethinking Genre in School and Society An Activity Theory Analys c1997 a504–5540 v143 aThe relation between writing in formal schooling and writing in other social practicesis a central problem in writing research (e.g., critical pedagogy, writing in nonacademic settings, cognition in variable social contexts). How do macro-level social and political structures (forces) affect micro-level literate actions in classrooms and vice versa? To address these questions, the author synthesizes Yrjo Engestrom's systems version of Vygotskian cultural-historical activity theory with Charles Bazerman's theory of genre systems. The author suggests that this synthesis extends Bakhtinian dialogic theory by providing a broader unit of analysis than text-as-discourse, wider levels of analysis than the dyad, and an expanded theory of dialectic. By tracing the intertextual relations among disciplinary and educational genre systems, through the boundary of classroom genre systems, one can construct a model of ways classroom writing is linked to writing in wider social practices and rethink such issues as agency, task representation, and assessment. 10aactivity10aclassroom10acomposition10adialogue10agenre10asituation10asystem10aVygotsky10aworkplace1 aRussell, David, R uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/rethinking-genre-school-and-society-activity-theory-analysis00423nas a2200169 4500008004100000245002100041210002100062260000900083300001400092490000700106653001100113653001000124653001300134653002400147100002600171856005600197 1993 eng d00aRecords as Genre0 aRecords as Genre c1993 a200–2340 v1010aclinic10agenre10aresearch10aveterinary medicine1 aSchryer, Catherine, F uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/records-genre00761nas a2200217 4500008004100000245009400041210006900135260000900204300001400213490000700227653001000234653001600244653003000260653001900290653002000309100001700329700002400346700002600370700002100396856012600417 2007 eng d00aSeeing and Listening: A Visual and Social Analysis of Optometric Record-Keeping Practices0 aSeeing and Listening A Visual and Social Analysis of Optometric c2007 a343–3750 v2110agenre10ahealth care10amedical case presentation10apatient record10avisual rhetoric1 aVarpio, Lara1 aSpafford, Marlee, M1 aSchryer, Catherine, F1 aLingard, Lorelei uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/seeing-and-listening-visual-and-social-analysis-optometric-record-keeping-practices00687nas a2200229 4500008004100000245007400041210006900115260000900184300001400193490000700207653001300214653001000227653001800237653001000255653001100265653001500276653000900291653001500300653001500315100002300330856010400353 2000 eng d00aOrdering Work: Blue-Collar Literacy and the Political Nature of Genre0 aOrdering Work BlueCollar Literacy and the Political Nature of Ge c2000 a155–1840 v1710aengineer10agenre10aimprovisation10apower10astatus10atechnician10atext10avisibility10awork order1 aWinsor, Dorothy, A uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/ordering-work-blue-collar-literacy-and-political-nature-genre00456nas a2200157 4500008004100000245002900041210002900070260004800099300001400147653000900161653001000170653001500180100002000195700002000215856006300235 2001 eng d00aGenre and the Video Game0 aGenre and the Video Game aAustin, TXbUniversity of Texas Pressc2001 a113–13410afilm10agenre10avideo game1 aWolf, Mark, J P1 aWolf, Mark, J P uhttps://genreacrossborders.org/biblio/genre-and-video-game
