Our argument is that sonic rhetoric and rhetorical genre theory might be employed in taking up calls for classroom genre scholarship to focus on temporality, unfolding, and lived relationships between genres. In making this argument, we will first review some key scholarship in rhetorical genre theory and soundscape studies. We will then explore how the intersection of that scholarship may offer a more complex understanding of genre, unfolding through qualitative analysis of seven writing-intensive classroom soundscapes.

The book series is concerned with all aspects of information; its nature, politics, institutions, usages, and technologies, and it presents research from a wide range of disciplinary traditions. Previously published as Library and Information Science, it is a fully peer-reviewed and high impact outlet for research in the field of information. This new volume, edited by Jack Andersen, is the first to be published under the new series name Studies in Information. The book highlights the important role genre theory plays within information studies. It illustrates how modern genre studies inform and enrich the study of information, and conversely how the study of information makes its own independent contributions to the study of genre. Various original contributions scrutinize core aspects of information and knowledge organization, such as information systems and distributed authorship; personal information management; and records management in organizations, all through the lens of genre.

Multimodally, online fashion shopping entextualizes face to face fashion shopping and in the process transduces embodied modes of communication into text and image, relying a great deal more on language than its face to face equivalent.

as global rhetorical patterns of particular genres in order to identify their recognizable
structural identity, or what Bhatia (1999: 22) calls ‘generic integrity’. In terms of
methodology, to date most genre-based studies have employed one or the other of
Swales’ (1981/1990) move-analytic models of text analysis to investigate whether or
not the generic prototypical patterns that he has introduced exist universally. This
paper, however, considers the application of the Systemic Functional (SF) theory of
language to genre analysis. The paper looks, in particular, at distinctive rhetorical
features of English newspaper editorials as an important public ‘Cinderella’ genre
and proposes a generic prototypical pattern of text development for editorials or what
Halliday and Hasan (1989) refer to as the Generic Structure Potential (GSP) of a
genre. The results of this study should benefit both genre theory and Systemic Functional
Linguistics (SFL) and will be, it seems, of interest not only to applied linguists,
but to those involved in education, journalism, and the media.
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.

Based on the "Genre 2012" conference held in Ottawa, Canada, the volume brings under one cover the three Anglophone traditions (English for Specific Purposes, the Sydney School, Rhetorical Genre Studies) and the approaches to genre studies developed in other national, linguistic, and cultural contexts (Brazilian, Chilean, and European). The volume contributors investigate a variety of genres, ranging from written to spoken to multimodal, and discuss issues, central to the field of genre studies: genre conceptualization in different traditions, its theoretical underpinnings, the goals of genre research, and pedagogical implications of genre studies. This collection is addressed to researchers, teachers, and students of genre who wish to familiarize themselves with current international developments in genre studies.

The article proposes that these three theoretical perspectives are compatible and complementary, and it illustrates applications of a unified framework to a study of genre learning by novice engineers. The author draws examples from a longitudinal qualitative study of a group of novice engineers who developed their professional genre knowledge through both academic and workplace experiences. These examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework for the study of professional genre learning. %B Journal of Business & Technical Communication %V 22 %P 160–185 %8 2008 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Business & Technical Communication %D 2010 %T Awareness Versus Production: Probing Students' Antecedent Genre Knowledge %A Artemeva, Natasha %A Fox, Janna %K antecedent genre %K engineering communication %K genre %K genre competence %K prior genre knowledge %K rhetoric %K targeted instruction %X This article explores the role of students’ prior, or antecedent, genreknowledge in relation to their developing disciplinary genre competence by drawing on an illustrative example of an engineering genre-competence assessment. 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 Journal of Business and Technical Communication %D 2001 %T 'Just the Boys Playing on Computers': An Activity Theory Analysis of Differences in the Cultures of Two Engineering Firms %A Artemeva, Natalia %A Freedman, Aviva %K activity theory %K engineering %K genre %B Journal of Business and Technical Communication %V 15 %P 164–194 %8 2001 %G eng %0 Book %D 2008 %T Rhetorical Genre Studies and Beyond %A Artemeva, Natasha %A Freedman, Aviva %K genre %I Inkshed %C Winnipeg, Manitoba %8 2008 %G eng %U http://http-server.carleton.ca/~nartemev/Artemeva%20&%20Freedman%20Rhetorical%20Genre%20Studies%20and%20beyond.pdf %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 Journal Article %J Information, Technology & People %D 2005 %T Digital Genres: A Challenge to Traditional Genre Theory %A Askehave, Inger %A Nielsen, Anne Ellerup %K digital %K genre %K internet %K media %K medium %K print %K Swales %B Information, Technology & People %V 18 %P 120–141 %8 2005 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Applied Linguistics %D 2001 %T Genre Identification and Communicative Purpose: A Problem and a Possible Solution %A Askehave, Inger %A Swales, John M. %K exigence %K genre %K purpose %B Applied Linguistics %V 22 %P 195–212 %8 2001 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Text & Talk %D 2008 %T Mandatory Genres: The Case of European Public Assessment Report (EPAR) %A Askehave, Inger %A Zethsen, Karen K. %K genre %K patient communication %K translation %X The aim of this article is to consider the nature of mandatory genres (legallyregulated genres) emanating from European Union directives and point to the challenges that such genres pose due to their legal origin and complex text production and text reception processes. Taking its point of departure in one of the most recent mandatory genres within an EU medicinal assessment and approval context (the European Public Assessment Report [EPAR] summary) the article presents the results of an empirical study of 15 EU-approved, Danish EPAR summaries, testing whether the respondents believe the EPAR summaries live up to their declared purpose. The article concludes that the majority of the respondents do not think the EPAR summary fulfills its communicative purposes of providing information about The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use’s review and recommendation of the product and providing information that is understandable and useful to laypersons, respectively. The article points to some of the reasons why, in spite of careful preparation, and extensive guidelines prior to its ‘launch’ into the discourse community, the EPAR summary apparently fails to fulfill its communicative purposes. %B Text & Talk %V 28 %P 167–191 %8 2008 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Poetics Today %D 2006 %T History, memory, and the genre of testimony.

Increasing numbers of autistic students are enrolling in universities worldwide. These students are taught by mostly nonautistic instructors who try to support them in their learning of academic literacies, without always fully understanding this emerging group of neurodiverse students. Most research on the development of academic literacies, including academic writing, to date has not explored the lived experience of being an autistic student at university. In this small-scale qualitative exploratory pilot study, we draw on Rhetorical Genre Studies (RGS) to probe into the accounts of 12 autistic students from two Canadian universities regarding their interactions with nonautistic and autistic individuals at university. By analyzing the data from the RGS perspective, we have been able to establish and unpack the rhetorical nature of such social interactions. Understanding the rhetorical nature of these interactions provides a first step towards developing effective supports for autistic students learning to speak and write academically in the predominantly nonautistic contexts of universities.

I focus much of my analysis on Anne Frances Wysocki's (2002) “A Bookling Monument” because it is explicitly designed to destabilize our reading practices. I also situate Wysocki's webtext along a spectrum with Charles Lowe's (2004) “Copyright, Access, and Digital Texts” and Collin Gifford Brooke's (2002) “Perspective: Notes Toward the Remediation of Style.” In using the author-function and the genre function as lenses on these pieces, I aim to articulate multiple possible modes of being for scholarly webtexts and their users. In the process, I illustrate the ways these concepts speak to the status and social function of authorial ownership and originality; multimodal complexity; and formal reflexivity. Ultimately, I argue that bringing traditional concepts like authorship and genre to bear on scholarly webtexts not only reveals the values of the Computers and Writing community but also presents a unique opportunity to continue testing the uses and limits of our rhetorical theories.

The definition of the appropriate form of communication is part of how a discipline constitutes itself, and is part of the achievement of that discipline. This paper examines the changing features of spectroscopic articles in Physical Review since its founding. Analyses of article length, use of references, sentence length and syntax, vocabulary, graphic features, organization and argument indicate that articles become increasingly theory-based and knowledge-embedded through time. Self-consciousness about the theoretical character of argument also increases. The changing character of communication within a scientific community also has implications for the social structure of that community. %B Social Studies of Science %V 14 %P 163–196 %8 1984 %G eng %0 Book %B Rhetoric of the Human Sciences %D 1988 %T Shaping Written Knowledge: The Genre and Activity of the Experimental Article in Science %A Bazerman, Charles %K genre %K science %B Rhetoric of the Human Sciences %I University of Wisconsin Press %C Madison, WI %8 1988 %G eng %0 Book Section %B Shaping Written Knowledge: The Genre and Activity of the Experimental Article in Science %D 1988 %T Reporting the Experiment: The Changing Account of Scientific Doings in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, 1665–1800 %A Bazerman, Charles %K change %K evolution %K genre %K science %B Shaping Written Knowledge: The Genre and Activity of the Experimental Article in Science %I University of Wisconsin Press %C Madison, WI %P 59–79 %8 1988 %G eng %0 Book Section %B Genre and the New Rhetoric %D 1994 %T Systems of Genres and the Enactment of Social Intentions %A Bazerman, Charles %E Freedman, Aviva %E Medway, Peter %K Edison %K genre %K kairos %K patents %K speech act %B Genre and the New Rhetoric %I Taylor and Francis %C London %P 79–101 %8 1994 %G eng %0 Book Section %B Constructing Experience %D 1994 %T Whose Moment?

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 1999 %T Writing in the Real World: Making the Transition from School to Work %A Beaufort, Anne %I Teachers College Press %C New York %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 Journal Article %J Bulletin of the American Society for Information Science and Technology %D 2001 %T The Concept of Genre and Its Characteristics %A Beghtol, Clare %K expectation %K genre %K information systems %K typology %B Bulletin of the American Society for Information Science and Technology %V 27 %P http://www.asis.org/Bulletin/Dec-01/beghtol.html %8 2001 %G eng %U http://www.asis.org/Bulletin/Dec-01/beghtol.html %0 Book %D 2005 %T Business and technical communication: an annotated guide to sources, skills, and samples %A Belanger, Sandra E. %I Praeger %C Westport, CT %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Technical Communication Quarterly %D 2000 %T Aristotle's pharmacy: The medical rhetoric of a clinical protocol in the drug development process %A Bell, Heather D. %A Walch, Kathleen A. %A Katz, Steven B. %B Technical Communication Quarterly %V 9 %P 249-269 %G eng %U http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10572250009364699 %R 10.1080/10572250009364699 %0 Journal Article %J Communication Monographs %D 2000 %T Beyond Genre Theory: The Genesis of Rhetorical Action %A Benoit, William L. %K act %K Burke %K criticism %K genre %K political oratory %K scene %B Communication Monographs %V 67 %P 178–192 %8 2000 %G eng %0 Book Section %B Aspects of Oral Communication %D 1994 %T Reconstructive Genres of Everyday Communication %A Bergmann, Jörg R. %A Luckmann, Thomas %E Quasthoff, Uta %K genre %K gossip %K narrative %K social life %B Aspects of Oral Communication %I DeGruyter %C Berlin %P 289–304 %8 1994 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Written Communication %D 2001 %T Genre Systems at Work: DSM-IV and Rhetorical Recontextualization in Psychotherapy Paperwork %A Berkenkotter, Carol %K activity theory %K genre %K system %B Written Communication %V 18 %P 326–349 %8 2001 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Written Communication %D 1993 %T Rethinking Genre from a Sociocognitive Perspective %A Berkenkotter, Carol %A Huckin, Thomas N. %K activity theory %K discourse community %K situated cognition %K structuration theory %X This article argues for an activity-based theory of genre knowledge. Drawing on empirical findings from case study research emphasizing "insider knowledge" and on structuration theory, activity theory, and rhetorical studies, the authors propose five general principles for genre theory: (a) Genres are dynamic forms that mediate between the unique features of individual contexts and the features that recur across contexts; (b) genre knowledge is embedded in communicative activities of daily and professional life and is thus a form of "situated cognition"; (c) genre knowledge embraces both form and content, including a sense of rhetorical appropriateness; (d) the use of genres simultaneously constitutes and reproduces social structures; and (e) genre conventions signal a discourse community's norms, epistemology, ideology, and social ontology. %B Written Communication %V 10 %P 475–509 %8 1993 %G eng %0 Book %D 1995 %T Genre Knowledge in Disciplinary Communication: Cognition/Culture/Power %A Berkenkotter, Carol %A Huckin, Thomas N. %K genre %K news %K novelty %I Lawrence Erlbaum %C Hillsdale, NJ %8 1995 %G eng %0 Book Section %B Genre Knowledge in Disciplinary Communication %D 1995 %T Gatekeeping at an Academic Convention %A Berkenkotter, Carol %A Huckin, Thomas N. %K abstract %K conference %K convention %K gatekeeping %K genre %K proposal %B Genre Knowledge in Disciplinary Communication %I Lawrence Erlbaum %C Hillsdale, NJ %P 97–116 %8 1995 %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 World Englishes %D 1997 %T The Power and Politics of Genre %A Bhatia, Vijay K. %K apprentice %K community %K experience %K genre %K outsider %K power %B World Englishes %V 16 %P 359–371 %8 1997 %G eng %0 Book %B Advances in Applied Linguistics %D 2004 %T Worlds of Written Discourse %A Bhatia, Vijay K. %E Candlin, Christopher N. %E Sarangi, Srikant %K genre %K integrity %K linguistics %K professional %K variation %B Advances in Applied Linguistics %I Continuum %C London %8 2004 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J World Englishes %D 1997 %T The Power and Politics of Genre %A Vijay K. Bhatia %XGeneric knowledge plays an important role in the packing and unpacking of texts used in a
wide-ranging institutionalized socio-rhetorical context. If, on the one hand, it imposes constraints on an
uninitiated genre writer to conform to the conventions and rhetorical expectations of the relevant
professional community, on the other hand, it allows an experienced and established writer of the genre
to exploit conventions to create new forms to suit specific contexts. Unfortunately, however, this privilege
to exploit generic conventions to create new forms becomes available only to those few who enjoy a certain
degree of visibility in the relevant professional community; for a wide majority of others, it is more of a
matter of apprenticeship in accommodating the expectations of disciplinary cultures. This paper reviews
current research to investigate the way the power and the politics of genre is often exploited by the so-called
established membership of disciplinary communities to keep outsiders at a safe distance.
In this paper, I report the effects of explicitly teaching five technical genres to English first-language students enrolled in a multi-major technical writing course. Previous experimental research has demonstrated the efficacy of explicitly teaching academic writing to English first-language adults, but no comparable study on technical writing exists. I used a mixed-method approach to examine these effects, including a control-group quasi-experimental design and a qualitative analysis to more fully describe the 534 texts produced by 316 student writers. Results indicated the genre participants constructed texts demonstrating a significantly greater awareness to audience, purpose, structure, design, style, and editing than participants taught through more traditional approaches. Within the technical genres, participants demonstrated greater awareness to audience, purpose, and editing in the job materials text type than with correspondence or procedures text types.

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.

"Media critics remain captivated by the modernist myth of the new: they assume that digital technologies such as the World Wide Web, virtual reality, and computer graphics must divorce themselves from earlier media for a new set of aesthetic and cultural principles. In this richly illustrated study, Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin offer a theory of mediation for our digital age that challenges this assumption. They argue that new visual media achieve their cultural significance precisely by paying homage to, rivaling, and refashioning such earlier media as perspective painting, photography, film, and television. They call this process of refashioning "remediation," and they note that earlier media have also refashioned one another: photography remediated painting, film remediated stage production and photography, and television remediated film, vaudeville, and radio."

Film genre shares similarities in form and style, theme, and communicative function. A film genre is thus based on a set of conventions that influence both the production of individual works within that genre and audience expectations and experiences. Genres are used by industry in the production and marketing of films, by film analysts and critics in historic analysis of film, and as a framework for audiences in the selection and experience of films.

We derive from genre literature the idea that radicals, that is root characteristics, of presentation exist in computer-mediated environments and define important aspects of conversation via such media. We propose three radicals of presentation that revolve around speaker-audience relations and identify areas of concern for communicators engaging in persistent, online conversations: visibility, addressing, primarily speakers' concerns with the means; methods and opportunites for self-presentation; relation, addressing the speaker's concerns with the range and identity of the audience, and audience members' concerns about relations with each other; and co-presence, addressing concerns relating to the temporal, virtual, and/or physical co-presence of speaking and listening participants. %B New Media & Society %V 5 %P 117–140 %8 2003 %G eng %UWe examine the rhetorical activity employed within software development communities in code texts.

English in today's research world. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press.], while not offering a generic structure, discuss the tendencies for Methods sections reporting research in the social sciences to be slow (or extended), and those in the physical sciences, such as medicine and engineering, to be fast (or compressed) – the metaphors of speed or density relating to the degree of elaboration employed in describing and justifying the research design and process. The aim of this study is to examine the differences between fast and slow tendencies in Methods sections in terms of their internal, cognitive discourse organization. Two small corpora, each consisting of thirty Methods sections (one for each of the two groups of subjects), are analyzed in two ways. First the corpora are rater-analyzed for their use of the organizational features of a cognitive genre model for textual structures (see Bruce, I. J. (2005). Syllabus design for general EAP courses: a cognitive approach. Journal of English for Academic Purposes, 4(3), 239–256.) and secondly by the use of corpus software for linguistic features that characterize the model. The findings of the study suggest that ‘fast’ Methods sections that report research in the physical sciences generally employ a means-focused discourse structure, and ‘slow’ Methods sections in social science reports tend to employ a combination of chronological and non-sequential descriptive structures. The study concludes that learner writers may benefit from access to the types of general, procedural knowledge that these discoursal structures employ.

"Flexible, easy to use, just enough detail—and now the number-one best seller.
With just enough detail — and color-coded links that send students to more detail if they need it — this is the rhetoric that tells students what they need to know and resists the temptation to tell them everything there is to know. Designed for easy reference — with menus, directories, and a combined glossary/index. The Third Edition has new chapters on academic writing, choosing genres, writing online, and choosing media, as well as new attention to multimodal writing.
The Norton Field Guide to Writing is available with a handbook, an anthology, or both — and all versions are now available as low-cost ebooks and in mobile-compatible formats for iPhones, Droids, and iPads."
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.
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’.
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.

We believe that capturing the way in which a reader perceives the meaning of documents, especially genres of text, may have implications for information retrieval (IR) and in particular, for cognitive IR and relevance. Previous research on 'shallow' features of structured text has shown that categorization by form is possible. Gibson's theory of 'affordances' and genre offer the reader the meaning and purpose - through structure - of a text, before the reader has even begun to read it, and should therefore provide a good basis for the 'deep' skimming and categorization of texts. We believe that Gibson's 'affordances' will aid the user to locate, examine and utilize shallow or deep features of genres and retrieve relevant output. Our proposal puts forward two hypotheses, with a list of research questions to test them, and culminates in experiments involving the studies of human categorization behaviour when viewing the structures of emails and web documents. Finally, we will examine the effectiveness of adding structural layout cues to a Yahoo discussion forum (currently only a bag-of-words), which is rich in structure, but only searchable through a Boolean search engine.

Firstly, we collected data by performing a small search task in the Wikipedia search engine (powered by Lucene) to locate articles related to global car manufacturers, for example, British Leyland, Ferrari and General Motors. We also searched for typical biographical articles about notable people, such as Spike Milligan, Alex Ferguson, Nelson Mandela and Karl Marx. An examination of the data thus obtained revealed that these articles have particular forms and that some genres connect to each other and evolve, merge and overlap. We then looked at the ways in which the purpose and form of a biographical article have evolved over six years within this community. We concluded the work with a discussion on the usefulness of Wikipedia as a vehicle for such genre investigations. This small analysis has allowed us to start generating a number of detailed research questions as to how forms may act as descriptors of genre and to discuss plans for experimental work aimed at answering these questions.

The results from a pilot study showed a clear effect, with an interaction between the email texts and the visual cues or features perceived and also the strategies employed for the processing of the texts. We found, in our small sample, that readers can determine the purpose and form of genres and that during this process some readers do skim the shape of the e-mails (form).

topic-based. This paper presents a complementary
analysis of research and experiments on genre to show
that encouraging results can be obtained by using
genre structure (form) features. We conducted an
experiment to assess the effectiveness of using
extensible mark-up language (XML) tag information,
and part-of-speech (P-O-S) features, for the
classification of genres, testing the hypothesis that if a
focus on genre can lead to high precision on normal
textual documents, then good results can be achieved
using XML tag information in addition to P-O-S
information. An experiment was carried out on a
subsection of the initiative for the evaluation of XML
(INEX) 1.4 collection. The features were extracted and
documents were classified using machine learning
algorithms, which yielded encouraging results for
logistic regression and neural networks. We propose
that utilizing these features and training a classifier
may benefit retrieval for most world wide web (WWW)
technologies such as XML and extensible hypertext
markup language) XHTML.
This paper reports on our task-based observational, logged, questionnaire study and analysis of ocular behavior pertaining to the interaction of structural features of text in Wikipedia using eye tracking. We set natural and realistic tasks searching Wikipedia online focusing on examining which features and strategies (skimming or scanning) were the most important for the participants to complete their tasks. Our research, carried out on a group of 30 participants, highlighted their interactions with the structural areas within Wikipedia articles, the visual cues and features perceived during the searching of the Wiki text. We collected questionnaire and ocular behavior (fixation metrics) data to highlight the ways in which people view the features in the articles. We found that our participants' extensively interacted with layout features, such as tables, titles, bullet lists, contents lists, information boxes, and references. The eye tracking results showed that participants used the format and layout features and they also highlighted them as important. They were able to navigate to useful information consistently, and they were an effective means of locating relevant information for the completion of their tasks with some success. This work presents results which contribute to the long-term goals of studying the features for genre and theoretical perception research.

of genre and James Gee’s theory of Discourse. Although both theories offer productive
ways of understanding literate practice, it is argued, they are limited in crucial respects.
Genre theory offers few ways of understanding how and why some social actors
have an easier time than others in producing generic texts and getting their texts
deemed “legitimate” by recognized authorities. Gee’s theory, meanwhile, does not
explain precisely how and where (i.e., at which conceptual level) communicants
come to match Discourse to situation. This article contends that these limitations
may be surpassed if the two theories are brought together in a particular way. In
this new approach, genres and Discourses are viewed as mutually constitutive forms:
Genres exist within Discourses and Discourses exist within genres. In adopting this
approach, it is argued, researchers may study how particular genres are made to elicit
performances of Discourses connected to particular social groups.
This article begins with a review of the forms of writing promoted in the Common Core State Standards. Across content areas, Common Core encourages teachers to attune students' writing to rhetorical concerns of audience, purpose, task, and disciplinary thinking. To address these concerns, teachers might take a rhetorical approach to the study of genres. In this view, genres are seen as resources writers use to build and act in particular situations. That is, genres help writers shape their writing to fit particular audiences, purposes, tasks, and forms of disciplinary thought. This article explains the rhetorical approach to genre studies by describing how particular genres (e.g. lab reports) are used by people to negotiate particular situations (e.g. labs in chemistry classes). Examples are offered throughout the article of how genre studies can be carried out in classrooms.

Specifically, this article investigates how members of the different groups advanced their projects by repurposing school genres such as hallway bulletin boards and office memos. By articulating movement messages in school genres, it is argued, activists tightened their schools’ connections to social movements and circulated movement discourses through school space. After findings on each group are presented, the concept “genre as discourse conduit” is induced from the data and is used to reevaluate the nuances and implications of students’ efforts to articulate movement discourses in school genres. Equipped with this new concept, researchers may better analyze activist groups’ efforts to perform movement work in schools.

The Brazilian School of SDI is identified as an expansion of Swiss SDI. The reviewed approaches are shown to be somewhat complementary. The recommendations are made for the future hybrid use of the Brazilian School of SDI and RGS in pedagogical applications.

M. (1981). Forms of time and of the chronotope in the novel. In M. Holquist (Ed.), The dialogic imagination: Four essays (pp. 84–258). Austin: University of Texas Press] and assume that, if this is true, the rhetorical unity within a specific genre could also be defined by its chronotope. Central to this theory will be the idea that the individual ‘moves’ [Swales, J. M. (1981). Aspects of article introduction. Birmingham, UK: University of Aston Language Studies Unit] within genres are defined by their use of time and space. In this way, the chronotope can be used as a device to analyze specific genres that are of interest to ESP composition, and can then be used as an instructional tool for the teaching of these particular genres to students within the ESP community. A corpus of L1 and L2 cover letters will be reviewed and linguistic markers of time and space will be compared to establish chronotopic move markers and chronotopic generic differences. The research summarized will consider what the pedagogical and semantic implications of these generic differences might be. %B English for Specific Purposes %V 26 %P 4–24 %8 2007 %G eng %0 Conference Paper %B 37th Hawaii International Conference on System Science %D 2004 %T A Framework for Creating a Facetted Classification for Genres: Addressing Issues of Multidimensionality %A Crowston, Kevin %A Kwasnik, Barbara H. %E Sprague, Ralph H., Jr. %K access %K digital %K form %K function %K genre %B 37th Hawaii International Conference on System Science %I IEEE Computer Society Press %C Big Island, Hawaii %P 100–108 %8 2004 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J The Information Society %D 2000 %T Reproduced and Emergent Genres of Communication on the World Wide Web %A Crowston, Kevin %A Williams, Marie %K genre %K medium %K novel %K Orlikowski %K structuration %K web %K Yates %B The Information Society %V 16 %P 201–215 %8 2000 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Business and Technical Communication %D 2012 %T Missed Opportunities in the Review and Revision of Clinical Study Reports %A Cuan, Gregory P. %A Bernhardt, Stephen A. %B Journal of Business and Technical Communication %V 26 %P 131-170 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Literature/Film Quarterly %D 2000 %T F.

Publicvoice is a discursive quality of a text that conveys the writer’s authority and position relative to others. To show how voice and authority depend on genre, I analyze the autobiographies of two writers who take opposing positions on the same topic. By producing texts in genres with recognizable social functions, student writers gain agency. %B College Composition and Communication %V 59 %P 420–450 %8 2008 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Communication Education %D 2005 %T Performing tribal rituals: A genre analysis of 'crits' in design studios %A Dannels, Deanna P. %K communication across the curriculum %K communication in the disciplines %K design %K ethnography %K oral genre %B Communication Education %V 54 %P 136–160 %8 2005 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Business & Technical Communication %D 2008 %T Critiquing Critiques: A Genre Analysis of Feedback Across Novice to Expert Design Studios %A Dannels, Deanna P. %A Norris, Martin Kelly %K communication across the curriculum %K communication in the disciplines %K genre instruction %K oral genre %K preprofessional genre %X In the discipline of design, the most common presentation genre is the critique,and the most central aspect of this genre is the feedback. Using a qualitative framework, this article identifies a typology of feedback, compares the frequencies of feedback types between different levels of design studios ranging from novice to expert, and explores what the feedback reflects about the social and educational context of these design studios. Results suggest that the feedback socialized students into egalitarian relationships and autonomous decision-making identities that were perhaps more reflective of academic developmental stages or idealized workplace contexts than of actual professional settings—therefore potentially complicating the preprofessional goals of the critique. %B Journal of Business & Technical Communication %V 22 %P 135–159 %8 2008 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Business and Technical Communication %D 2000 %T Learning to Be Professional: Technical Classroom Discourse, Practice, and Professional Identity Construction %A Dannels, Deanna P. %B Journal of Business and Technical Communication %V 14 %P 5-37 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Business and Technical Communication %D 2003 %T Teaching and Learning Design Presentations in Engineering: Contradictions between Academic and Workplace Activity Systems %A Dannels, Deanna P. %B Journal of Business and Technical Communication %V 17 %P 139-169 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Business and Technical Communication %D 2011 %T Relational Genre Knowledge and the Online Design Critique: Relational Authenticity in Preprofessional Genre Learning %A Dannels, Deanna P. %B Journal of Business and Technical Communication %V 25 %P 3-35 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Business and Technical Communication %D 2008 %T Critiquing Critiques: A Genre Analysis of Feedback Across Novice to Expert Design Studios %A Dannels, Deanna P. %A Martin, Kelly Norris %B Journal of Business and Technical Communication %V 22 %P 135-159 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Science as Culture %D 2010 %T Doing Dialogue: Genre and Flexibility in Public Engagement with Science %A Davies, S R %K science %X‘Public engagement with science’ is an increasingly important but contested practice. In this study of London's Dana Centre I look at dialogue events carried out there as a case study of public engagement, performing a detailed analysis in order to examine their nature and practice. The analysis suggests that event framings (as found in the discourse of events) are multiple, varying from lecture to open debate. Furthermore the genre of events is flexible, with participant involvement organised through the use of genres derived from education, talkshows and news interviewing as well as more traditional genres such as lectures. While it seems there is flexibility in the practice of these informal dialogue events, they are, however, not open to reinvention by all participants equally. The fluidity of practice observed may be due to the newness of these kinds of processes in most people's experiences. We are therefore observing, on the ground, the traces of contrasting discourses of the right relationship between science and society.

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.

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 Journal Article %J College Composition and Communication %D 1993 %T Generalizing about Genre: New Conceptions of an Old Concept %A Devitt, Amy J %K composition %K genre %K situation %B College Composition and Communication %V 44 %P 573–586 %8 1993 %G eng %0 Book %B Rhetorical Philosophy and Theory %D 2004 %T Writing Genres %A Devitt, Amy J %E Blakesley, David %K context %K genre %K history %K literary %K rhetorical %K teaching %B Rhetorical Philosophy and Theory %I Southern Illinois University Press %C Carbondale, IL %8 2004 %@ 0-8093-2553-5 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J College English %D 2003 %T Materiality and Genre in the Study of Discourse Communities %A Devitt, Amy J %A Bawarshi, Anis %A Reiff, Mary Jo %K classroom %K ethnography %K ethnomethodology %K jury instructions %K materiality %K medical records %B College English %V 65 %P 541–558 %8 2003 %G eng %0 Book Section %B Genre in a Changing World %D 2009 %T Teaching Critical Genre Awareness %A Devitt, Amy J %E Bazerman, Charles %E Bonini, Adair %E Figueiredo, Débora %K academic writing %K genre knowledge %K teaching %B Genre in a Changing World %I WAC Clearinghouse and Parlor Press %C Fort Collins, CO %P 337–351 %G eng %& 17 %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 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 Book %B Rhetoric, Knowledge, and Society %D 1999 %T Worlds Apart : Acting and Writing in Academic and Workplace Contexts %A Dias, Patrick %A Freedman, Aviva %A Medway, Peter %A Paré, Anthony %B Rhetoric, Knowledge, and Society %I Routledge %C Mahwah, NJ %@ 9780805821475 9780585114859 9781135691417 9781135691400 %G eng %U http://proxying.lib.ncsu.edu/index.php?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=nlebk&AN=19328&site=ehost-live %0 Journal Article %J Technical Communication Quarterly %D 2008 %T Grassroots: Supporting the Knowledge Work of Everyday Life %A Diehl, Amy %A Grabill, Jeffrey T. %A Hart-Davidson, William %A Iyer, Vishal %B Technical Communication Quarterly %V 17 %P 413-434 %G eng %U http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10572250802324937 %R 10.1080/10572250802324937 %0 Journal Article %J Fibreculture: Internet Theory, Criticism, Research %D 2004 %T Composing the Self: Of Diaries and Lifelogs %A van Dijck, José %K blog %K diary %K genre %K Herring %K private %K public %K remediation %K self %B Fibreculture: Internet Theory, Criticism, Research %P http://journal.fibreculture.org/issue3/issue3_vandijck.html %8 2004 %G eng %U http://journal.fibreculture.org/issue3/issue3_vandijck.html %0 Book %D 1977 %T Text and Context: Explorations in the Semantics and Pragmatics of Discourse %A van Dijk, Teun %K genre %I Longman %C New York %8 1977 %G eng %0 Book %D 1980 %T Macrostructures %A van Dijk, Teun %K genre %K macrostructure %I Lawrence Erlbaum %C Hillsdale, NJ %8 1980 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of the American Society for Information Science %D 2000 %T Genres and the Web: Is the Personal Home Page the First Uniquely Digital Genre? %A Dillon, A. %A Gushrowski, B. A. %K digital %K evolution %K genre %K home page %X Genre conventions emerge across discourse communities over time to support the communication of ideas and information in socially and cognitively compatible forms. Digital genres frequently borrow heavily from the paper world even though the media optimally support different forms, structures, and interactions. This research sought to determine the existence and form of a truly digital genre. Results from a survey of user perceptions of the form and content of web home pages reveal a significant correlation between commonly found elements of home pages and user preferences and expectations of type. These data support the argument that the personal home page has rapidly evolved into a recognizable form with stable, user-preferred elements and thus may be considered the first truly digital genre. %B Journal of the American Society for Information Science %V 51 %P 202–205 %8 2000 %G eng %UDespite the important role the personal statement plays in the graduate school application processes, little research has been done on its functional features and little instruction has been given about it in academic writing courses. The author conducted a multi-level discourse analysis on a corpus of 30 medical/dental school application letters, using both a hand-tagged move analysis and a computerized analysis of lexical features of texts.

This essay provides an analysis of “Tibaq,” an elegy written in Edward W. Said’s honor by the acclaimed Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish. Noting that the poem exhibits aspects of a number of genres and demonstrates Darwish’s generally innovative approach to traditional literary forms, I consider how he has transformed the marthiya, the elegiac genre that has been part of the Arabic literary tradition since the pre-Islamic era. I argue that Darwish used the elegy-writing occasion to comment on Said’s politics and to make respectful use of his critical methods, particularly his interdisciplinary borrowing of counterpoint, a concept typically used in music analysis. By reworking the conventionalmarthiya to represent Said’s life in exile and his diverse body of work and by putting his contrapuntal method into practice in the conversation depicted in the poem, Darwish elegizes a long-lasting friendship and shores up a shared political cause.

Using corpus linguistic methods and factor analysis of word counts for features of formality and informality, we show that the greater the degree of post-production editorial control afforded by the system, the more formal and standardized the language of the collaboratively-authored documents becomes, analogous to that found in traditional print encyclopedias. Paradoxically, users who faithfully appropriate such systems create homogeneous entries, at odds with the goal of open-access authoring environments to create diverse content. The findings shed light on how users, acting through mechanisms provided by the system, can shape (or not) features of content in particular ways. We conclude by identifying sub-genres of web-based collaborative authoring environments based on their technical affordances.

Despite its popularity among literary theorists, there is sometimes a discrepancy between the loose concept of family resemblance, at least in its negative-radical version, and the practical assumptions made about genres. In order to overcome the inadequacies of existing applications of the concept, I will propose two ways in which Wittgenstein's concept can be fruitfully applied to genre theory. First, by using certain working hypotheses in cognitive psychology, based on the concept of family resemblance, I will argue that literary genres are perceived as structured categories, with a ‘hard core’ consisting of prototypical members. These prototypical members are characterized by the fact that they bear a relatively high degree of resemblance to each other. Second, by focusing on the analogy between the internal structure of literary genres and that of families one can establish a ‘genealogical’ line of literary genres, i.e., the series of writers who have participated in shaping, reshaping and transmitting the textual heritage established by the ‘founding father’ of the genre, including the dialectical relationship of ‘parents’ and ‘children’ in genre history. %B Poetics %V 20 %P 123–138 %8 1991 %G eng %0 Book %D 1993 %T Metaphors of Genre %A Fishelov, David %K biology %K family %K institutions %K literary genre %K speech act %I Penn State University Press %C University Park, PA %8 1993 %@ 0-271-00886-5 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Quarterly Journal of Speech %D 1970 %T A Motive View of Communication %A Fisher, Walter R. %K genre %K motive %B Quarterly Journal of Speech %V 56 %P 131–139 %8 1970 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Western Journal of Speech Communication %D 1980 %T Genre: Concepts and Applications in Rhetorical Criticism %A Fisher, Walter R. %K genre %B Western Journal of Speech Communication %V 44 %P 288–299 %8 1980 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Computers and Composition %D 2007 %T CMS-based simulations in the writing classroom: Evoking genre through game play %A David Fisher %K Computer-supported collaborative learning %B Computers and Composition %V 24 %P 179 - 197 %G eng %U http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S8755461506000387 %R http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.compcom.2006.06.004 %0 Journal Article %J Early Modern Literary Studies: A Journal of Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century English Literature %D 1997 %T The Poetic Nocturne: From Ancient Motif to Renaissance Genre %A Fitter, Chris %K 1500-1699 %K English literature %K genre study %K nocturne %K poetry %K Renaissance %B Early Modern Literary Studies: A Journal of Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century English Literature %V 3 %8 1997 %@ 1201-2459 %G eng %U http://purl.oclc.org/emls/03-2/fittnoct.html %0 Journal Article %J New Media & Society %D 2007 %T The Role of Site Features, User Attributes, and Information Verification Behaviors on the Perceived Credibility of Web-Based Information %A Flanagin, Andrew J. %A Metzger, Miriam J. %K credibility %K genre %K internet %K media %K web %X Data from 574 participants were used to assess perceptions ofmessage, site, and sponsor credibility across four genres of websites; to explore the extent and effects of verifying web-based information; and to measure the relative influence of sponsor familiarity and site attributes on perceived credibility.The results show that perceptions of credibility differed, such that news organization websites were rated highest and personal websites lowest, in terms of message, sponsor, and overall site credibility, with e-commerce and special interest sites rated between these, for the most part.The results also indicated that credibility assessments appear to be primarily due to website attributes (e.g. design features, depth of content, site complexity) rather than to familiarity with website sponsors. Finally, there was a negative relationship between self-reported and observed information verification behavior and a positive relationship between self-reported verification and internet/web experience. The findings are used to inform the theoretical development of perceived web credibility. %B New Media & Society %V 9 %P 319–342 %8 2007 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Style %D 2000 %T Genres, Text Types, or Discourse Modes?

Relying on multimodal data, the study examines how university mathematics instructors engage students in chalk talk through gestures, writing on the chalkboard, and speech. One of the engagement strategies identified in the study is the use of gestural silence, or the absence of the instructor’s hand movement, intended to engage students in doing mathematics. The study indicates that such multimodal engagement strategies appear to be shaped by the embodied nature of discipline-specific genres.

Fox %E N. Artemeva %K academic literacies %K diagnostic assessment %K engineering writing %K ESP %K indigenous criteria %K post-admission assessment %XThis paper reports on the central role of disciplinary (engineering) criteria in the development of an ESP-based diagnostic writing task and rubric, used to identify entering undergraduate engineering students in need of academic support. In this mixed methods study, Phase 1 investigated the usefulness of a generic writing task and analytic rubric used for the diagnosis. Phase 2, informed by the results of Phase 1, focused on the development of an engineering writing task. The outcomes of the two phases were merged to develop an engineering ESP-based writing task and rubric, informed by a) the collaboration of language/writing experts and engineering stakeholders, and b) criteria, indigenously drawn from the engineering community of practice. The study supports an academic literacies approach in diagnostic assessment (rather than a generic, one-size- fits-all, ‘academic literacy’ approach), and suggests that the demands of university study are best viewed as the practices of disciplinary communities of practice. The paper provides evidence of the increased meaningfulness and usefulness of a disciplinary, ESP- based approach in diagnosing need for academic support.

Like navigating a ship (Hutchins, 1993), conducting monetary policy involves complex processes of distributed cognition. The difference is that, in a governmental financial institution like the Bank of Canada, much of the cognitive work and its distribution are accomplished by means of interweaving webs of genres of discourse. The genres of the Bank enable both the forming and reforming of policy as well as the constant reflexive self-monitoring necessary for maintaining the robustness of the institution and for achieving its goals. The genres operate as sites for the communal construction of and negotiation over knowledge; paradoxically, as institutionalized artifacts, they both channel and codify thinking at the same time that they function as sites for change.

It also investigates marketers' uses of that discourse as facilitating a process of negotiating their identities as social actors. The article examines, first, how the invocation of the genre of bargaining orders marketers' speech into a stable and coherent discourse; second, how the genre's connections with social, ideological, and political-economic relations invest marketers' speech with pre-established associations; and third, how marketers may manipulate social and ideological associations established by past conventions in order to negotiate the social value of their identities at present. %B Journal of Linguistic Anthropology %V 10 %P 155–189 %8 2000 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Quarterly Journal of Speech %D 1976 %T Language-Action: A Paradigm for Communication %A Frentz, Thomas S. %A Farrell, Thomas B. %K genre %K hierarchy %K rules %B Quarterly Journal of Speech %V 62 %P 333–349 %8 1976 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J PMLA %D 2007 %T Riding Off into the Sunrise: Genre Contingency and the Origin of the Chinese Western %A Daniel Fried %K american western film %K china %K dramatic arts %K film %K genre study %K nationalism %K western china %XThe paradoxical dependence of genre histories on historically accidental acts of naming and on transcendental critical imagination is demonstrated by the Chinese western, a little-understood genre that has become a major part of Chinese-language cinema over the past two decades. After the genre was proposed in 1984 by the Chinese film theorist Zhong Dianfei, as a realist reaction against the ideological excesses of the Cultural Revolution, its ambiguous status as a Hollywood import quickly became a proxy for larger cultural battles over China's place in an American-dominated international cultural system. Moreover, despite assurances by Zhong and other critics that the genre was not susceptible to Hollywood influence, the production history of the genre from the late 1980s to the present demonstrates a pattern of generic influence and eventual fusion that tracks Chinese state-owned studios' evolution from subsidized propaganda organs to participants in a globalized entertainment industry.

Code-specific communicative practices, in turn, simultaneously constitute and partake of code-specific genres: normative, relatively stable, often metapragmatically salient types of utterance, or modes of discourse, that conventionally call for use of a particular code. This article suggests that the notions of code specificity and code-specific genre can be useful ones for theorizing the relationship between code and communicative practice in bilingual0multilingual settings, particularly those in which language shift and other contact-induced processes of linguistic and cultural change tend to highlight that relationship. This is demonstrated through an examination of how young children in St. Lucia are socialized to “curse” and otherwise assert themselves by means of a creole language that under most circumstances they are discouraged from using. %B Language in Society %V 34 %P 327–361 %8 2005 %G eng %0 Book %D 1988 %T Teoría de los géneros literarios %A Garrido-Gallardo, M.A. %I Arco Libros %C Madrid, España %P 388 %@ 9788476350331 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J American Scholar %D 1980 %T Blurred Genres: The Refiguration of Social Thought %A Geertz, Clifford %K game %K ritual %K social theory %B American Scholar %V 49 %P 165–179 %8 1980 %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 %UThe invitation poem, in which the beloved is urged to come away to an idealized place, is among the most enduring genres of European love poetry. The tradition begins with the biblical Song of Songs, which sets several important precedents: a dialogic framework, a close association of lover and landscape, and a sense of love as exile. Medieval and Renaissance invitation poems follow the Song of Songs but shift its emphases toward monologue, materialism, and importunity. Milton thus inherits a dual tradition of invitational poetry, both aspects of which figure prominently in Paradise Lost. Recognizing the traditional features of the genre therefore illuminates significant moments in the epic, including, notably, Eve’s final speech. The invitational tropes in this passage reveal how Eve reconceives of exile as homecoming and how she reestablishes a sense of radical mutuality with Adam by completing a dialogue that began before the Fall.

I argue that Bilguer’s narratives of patient suffering, his rhetorical likening ofsurgeons to soldiers, and his attention to the horrific experiences of war surgeons all contributeto the dissertation’s wide impact. Ultimately, the dissertation offers an example of affectiverhetorics employed during the Enlightenment, demonstrating how bodies and environments—those Bambient rhetorics^ made visible in a text—can contribute to an analysis of genredeviations and widen the scope of genre studies.

It reviews the factors of generification, commodification, technology and globalization that nowadays rule the communication of science and discusses two instances of moves erosion in engineering contexts, namely the features and effects of the teaser-abstracts published by a trans-national engineering association and the repercussions of graphical abstracts within a small multidisciplinary community of engineering teachers. With this purpose, corpus analysis and interviews have been conducted to determine moves trends and informants' reactions. Findings suggest that the moves fuzziness caused by abstract abridgement and the graphic rendering of abstract concepts may strengthen or weaken communal boundaries and pose difficult challenges to both insiders and outsiders. To solve them, the case is finally made for a (re-)education of students, academics and professionals by means of a blended framework that instills a looser conception of genre and community, together with a visual literacy or graphicacy that facilitates interpretation, and for a more pedagogical and firmer gate-keeping concerning graphical abstracts.

Promotionalism and competitiveness, in addition, increasingly pervade human activity, and thus engaging readers, listeners and viewers to attract and persuade them is part of the know-how of almost every profession. The eighteen chapters in this book, written by well-known discourse analysts from different nationalities and research backgrounds, and with various interests and understandings of communicative engagement, guide us through a discovery of perspectives and strategies across work settings and practices, genres, semiotic modes, discourses, disciplines, and theoretical frameworks and methods. They build a mosaic that leads to a broad picture of (meta)discursive engagement as (di)stance and raises current issues, challenges, and future research directions.

The basic question addresses the necessity of genre conceptions within the empirical theory of literature. It is argued that there is no need for conceptualizing ‘genre’ within that theory because the underlying philosophy of generic thinking implies an incommensurable metaphysics. On the other hand, it is shown that issues of modern (functionalist sociological) theories of genre can largely be reconstructed as starting points for an empirical theory of ‘genres’ if their core assumptions are grounded on the level of cognition. Types of genre theories considered here are the classificationist, the form-content descriptivist, the typological universalist, and the functionalist sociological approach. The paper concludes with an attitude against genre as a scientific object domain of its own and suggests that ‘generic’ phenomena should be treated as problems of the aggregation of knowledge for consensual interaction in media systems. %B Poetics %V 16 %P 397–430 %8 1987 %G eng %0 Book Section %B Debating World Literature %D 2004 %T The Politics of Genre %A Stephen Heath %B Debating World Literature %I Verso %C New York %P 163-74 %@ 1859844588 %G eng %0 Book %D 2011 %T Grief and Genre in American Literature, 1790-1870 %A Desiree Henderson %I Ashgate %C Burlington %P 200 %@ 1409420868 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Renaissance and Reformation %D 1983 %T Defining the Genre of the Letter: Juan Luis Vives' De conscribendis epistolis %A Henderson, J. %K genre %K letter %B Renaissance and Reformation %V 7 %P 89–105 %8 1983 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication %D 2012 %T Style Congruency and Persuasion: A Cross-cultural Study Into the Influence of Differences in Style Dimensions on the Persuasiveness of Business Newsletters in Great Britain and the Netherlands %A Hendriks, B. %A van Meurs, F. %A Korzilius, H. %A le Pair, R. %A le Blanc-Damen, S %B IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication %V 55 %P 122-141 %G eng %U http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6203647 %R 10.1109/TPC.2012.2194602 %0 Journal Article %J Technical Communication Quarterly %D 2009 %T (Re)Appraising the Performance of Technical Communicators From a Posthumanist Perspective %A Henry, Jim %B Technical Communication Quarterly %V 19 %P 11/30/2015 %G eng %R 10.1080/10572250903372975. %0 Book Section %B Teaching Professional and Technical Communication %D 0 %T Teaching Genre in Professional and Technical Communication %A Henze, Brent %E Bridgeford, Tracy %B Teaching Professional and Technical Communication %I Utah State University Pres %C Logan, UT %G eng %& 6 %0 Journal Article %J Technical Communication Quarterly %D 2004 %T Emergent Genres in Young Disciplines: The Case of Ethnological Science %A Henze, Brent R. %B Technical Communication Quarterly %V 13 %P 393-421 %G eng %U http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1207/s15427625tcq1304_3 %R 10.1207/s15427625tcq1304_3 %0 Book Section %B Solving Problems in Technical Communication %D 2012 %T What Do Technical Communicators Need to Know about Genre? %A Henze, Brent R. %K technical %B Solving Problems in Technical Communication %I U Chicago Press %C Chicago %P 337-361 %@ 978-0226924076 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Technical Communication Quarterly %D 2004 %T Emergent Genres in Young Disciplines: The Case of Ethnological Science %A Henze, Brent R. %K disciplinarity %K discipline %K discourse formation %K genre %B Technical Communication Quarterly %V 13 %P 393–421 %8 2004 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J PMLA %D 1979 %T Renaissance Poverty and Lazarillo's Family: The Birth of the Picaresque Genre %A Herrero, Javier %K Cervantes %K copernican revolution %K literary %K literature %K new genre %K picaresque genre %K poverty %K social conditions %X In the history of literature the change from the idealized worlds of the shepherd and the knight to the world of the picaro; from arcadia and chivalry to the desolate urban landscape of misery and hunger; from romance to irony-in fact, the Copernican revolution that produced a new genre-could only have been born of an upheaval that affected men's lives and forced educated writers to see conditions they had so far ignored. This change stemmed from an increased awareness of human misery, which the urban growth of the Renaissance had made highly visible. The genius of the Spanish author of the Lazarillo consists in his having found the literary voice for such a profound transformation of European society. The Lazarillo, of course, did not annihilate the past, but it gave artistic form to the all-pervading crisis that was destroying the basis of the traditional order. %B PMLA %V 94 %P 876–886 %8 1979 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Sociolinguistics %D 2006 %T Gender and Genre Variation in Weblogs %A Herring, Susan C. %A Paolillo, John C. %K gender %K genre %K pronoun %B Journal of Sociolinguistics %V 10 %P 439–459 %8 2006 %G eng %0 Book Section %B Proceedings of the 37th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Science %D 2004 %T Bridging the Gap: A Genre Analysis of Weblogs %A Herring, Susan C. %A Scheidt, Lois Ann %A Bonus, Sabrina %A Wright, Elijah %E Sprague, Ralph H., Jr. %K antecedents %K blog %K content analysis %K corpus %K genre %K impact %K linguistics %B Proceedings of the 37th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Science %I IEEE Computer Society Press %C Los Alamitos, CA %P 101–111 %8 2004 %G eng %U http://www.blogninja.com %0 Journal Article %J Information, Technology & People %D 2005 %T Weblogs as a Bridging Genre %A Herring, Susan C. %A Scheidt, Lois Ann %A Bonus, Sabrina %A Wright, Elijah %K antecedents %K blog %K content analysis %K corpus %K genre %K genre ecology %K hybrid %K impact %K linguistics %K new genre %K technology %B Information, Technology & People %V 18 %P 142–171 %8 2005 %G eng %0 Book Section %B Genre across the Curriculum %D 2005 %T The Idea of Genre in Theory and Practice: An Overview of the Work in Genre in the Fields of Composition and Rhetoric and New Genre Studies %A Herrington, Anne %A Moran, Charles %E Herrington, Anne %E Moran, Charles %K classroom %K genre %K Sydney school %K teaching %K WAC %B Genre across the Curriculum %I Utah State University Press %C Logan, UT %P 1–18 %8 2005 %G eng %0 Generic %D 2005 %T Genre Across the Curriculum %A Herrington, Anne %A Moran, Charles %K Anson %K composition %K Dannels %K genre %K Palmquist %K pedagogy %K WAC %K web %K writing %I Utah State University Press %C Logan, UT %8 2005 %@ 0-87421-600-1 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Cultural Studies %D 1999 %T Indie: The institutional politics and aesthetics of a popular music genre %A David Hesmondhalgh %K Aesthetics %K Independent Record Companies %K institutions %K Music Industry %XThis 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.

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.

Both genre and genre-based pedagogy, however, have been conceived of in distinct ways by researchers in different scholarly traditions and in different parts of the world, making the genre literature a complicated body of scholarship to understand. The purpose of this article is to provide a map of current genre theories and teaching applications in three research areas where genre scholarship has taken significantly different paths: (a) English for specific purposes (ESP), (b) North American New Rhetoric studies, and (c) Australian systemic functional linguistics. The article compares definitions and analyses of genres within these three traditions and examines their contexts, goals, and instructional frameworks for genre-based pedagogy. The investigation reveals that ESP and Australian genre research provides ESL instructors with insights into the linguistic features of written texts as well as useful guidelines for presenting these features in classrooms. New Rhetoric scholarship, on the other hand, offers language teachers fuller perspectives on the institutional contexts around academic and professional genres and the functions genres serve within these settings.

Since the new genre was capable of recording the significant socio-cultural changes of the time, the novel, according to Watt, emerged not only as a literary genre, as one form of art among others, but as a privileged cultural product. Since the imaginary world created by the novel reflects and reproduces the modern social condition, that is, the image of personhood as a selfenclosed subjectivity, the question is what type of narrative literature would be capable of resisting the novel and providing a viable alternative to it. %B Journal of Narrative Theory %V 38 %P 378–397 %8 2008 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Technical Communication Quarterly %D 2005 %T Constructing Genre: A Threefold Typology %A Kain, Donna %K audience %K discipline %K discourse community %K genre %B Technical Communication Quarterly %V 14 %P 375–409 %8 2005 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Technical Communication Quarterly %D 2005 %T Building Context: Using Activity Theory to Teach about Genre in Multi-Major Professional Communication Courses %A Kain, Donna %A Wardle, Elizabeth %K activity theory %K genre %K teaching %K technical writing %B Technical Communication Quarterly %V 14 %P 113–139 %8 2005 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Technical Communication Quarterly %D 2005 %T Building Context: Using Activity Theory to Teach About Genre in Multi-Major Professional Communication Courses %A Kain, Donna %A Wardle, Elizabeth %B Technical Communication Quarterly %V 14 %P 113-139 %G eng %U http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1207/s15427625tcq1402_1 %R 10.1207/s15427625tcq1402_1 %0 Journal Article %J Technical Communication Quarterly %D 2005 %T Constructing Genre: A Threefold Typology %A Kain, Donna J. %B Technical Communication Quarterly %V 14 %P 375-409 %G eng %U http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1207/s15427625tcq1404_2 %R 10.1207/s15427625tcq1404_2 %0 Journal Article %J Reading Research Quarterly %D 1999 %T Cultural Artifacts as Scaffolds for Genre Development %A Kamberelis, G. %A Bovino, T. %B Reading Research Quarterly %V 34 %P 138-170 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Contemporary Legal Issues %D 1995 %T Genre as Institutionally Informed Social Practice %A Kamberelis, George %K argument %K Bakhtin %K Bourdieu %K genre %K ideology %K metaphor %K premise %K schema %B Journal of Contemporary Legal Issues %V 6 %P 115–171 %8 1995 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication %D 2012 %T Research Article Structure of Research Article Introductions in Three Engineering Subdisciplines %A Kanoksilapatham, B. %B IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication %V 55 %P 294-309 %G eng %U http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6362304 %R 10.1109/TPC.2012.2223252 %0 Journal Article %J Centennial Review %D 1971 %T The Legitimate but Unchristened Genre of Tragisatire %A Kantra, Robert A. %K Satire %K themes and figures %X Traditional literary theory has always contrasted tragedy and comedy, describing them formally as separate genres. However, in English literature since the Renaissance, they often do coincide, resulting in the distinctive genre here called "tragisatire." Modern scientific and esthetic perspectives are compatible with a significant historical analogue on this generic point, that is, with Christian humanism, at once an essentially religious response and a natural literary expression. Tragisatire is a coalescing genre precisely at the time that a subtly syncretic humanism supplants some of the less flexible demarcations made by traditional Christianity; it can be understood not only formally for what it appears to be, but historically for what it has seemed to do. It continues to have purgative and purgatorial effects long held by many to be peculiar to tragedy and religion. The genre is identifiable with its religious themes, just as tragedy and comedy always have been, rather than according to rhetorical forms, as is customary with satire. Those themes have roots in experiences which combine high seriousness with ordinary levity, and which are not and never have been discrete. %B Centennial Review %V 15 %P 84-98 %8 1971 %@ 0162-0177 %G eng %0 Book Section %B Ambient Intelligence for Scientific Discovery %D 2005 %T Textual Genre Analysis and Identification %A Kaufer, David %A Geisler, Cheryl %A Ishizaki, Suguru %A Vlachos, Pantelis %E Cai, Yang %K analysis %K computer coding %K DocuScope %K genre %K heurisitcs %K rhetoric %K text %K visualization %B Ambient Intelligence for Scientific Discovery %S Lecture Notes in Computer Science %I Springer-Verlag GmbH %C Berlin %V 3345 %P 129–151 %8 2005 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Business and Technical Communication %D 2004 %T Teaching Language Awareness in Rhetorical Choice: Using IText and Visualization in Classroom Genre Assignments %A Kaufer, David S. %A Ishizaki, Suguru %A Collins, Jeff %A Vlachos, Pantelis %B Journal of Business and Technical Communication %V 18 %P 361-402 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication %D 2006 %T A Corpus Study of Canned Letters: Mining the Latent Rhetorical Proficiencies Marketed to Writers-in-a-Hurry and Non-Writers %A Kaufer, D. %A Ishizaki, S. %B IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication %V 49 %P 254-266 %G eng %U http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=1684207 %R 10.1109/TPC.2006.880743 %0 Book %D 2006 %T Food, film and culture: a genre study %A James R Keller %K film %K food studies %I McFarland & Company %C Jefferson, NC %P 215 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Southern Communication Journal %D 2008 %T Trust No One: The Conspiracy Genre on American Television %A Kelley-Romano, Stephanie %K conspiracy %K function %K genre %K mass-media %K scapegoating %K situation %K X-Files %B Southern Communication Journal %V 73 %P 105–121 %8 2008 %G eng %0 Thesis %D 2014 %T Hacking Science: Emerging Parascientific Genres and Public Participation in Scientific Research %A Kelly, Ashley Rose %K crowdfunding %K genre %K Kickstarter %K parascientific %K proposal %K proposal writing %K science %XThe Internet, in Brian Trench’s (2008) words, “is turning science communication
inside-out” and, as a result, the boundaries between internal and external science
communication are “eroding.” Yet these boundaries have long been complicated by
“para-scientific genres” such as trade magazines, as Sarah Kaplan and Joanna Radin
(2011) show, when they detail genres that exist “alongside” mainstream scientific
genres. These genres’ existence is dependent upon their association with established
scientific media and genres, such as the scholarly journal and the scientific research
article. Moreover, these genres reach a wider audience, including policymakers and
others involved in the community, with a mission of influencing the direction of a
discipline or field. Bringing together these ideas, Carolyn R. Miller and I (forthcoming)
extend the notion of parascientific genres to account for emerging genres of science
communication online, suggesting that the rhetorical work parascientific genres do has
been partially moved into more public (or, external) spheres of scientific discourse.
This dissertation focuses on the erosion of boundaries between internal and external
science communication to explore the possibilities for parascientific genres—and looks
specifically to citizen science as a site of inquiry. While some attention has been paid to
citizen science, it is often devoted to scientist-driven cases, where discursive acts are
governed by rhetorics of professionalized science. Participant-driven citizen science
can depart from these conventions, I maintain. And interesting examples of
parascientific genres, or genres that demonstrate characteristics of both internal and
external science communication, are available for examination.
This article explores the intersection of Rhetorical Genre Studies (RGS) and Actor-Network Theory (ANT). These two traditions are particularly important in the Canadian research context. We examine genre and ANT to uncover what we believe is a complementary relationship that promises much to the study of science, especially in the age of the internet. Specifically, we see RGS as a way to account for how objects come to “be” as complex wholes and so act across/among levels of network configurations. Moreover, the nature of these objects’ (instruments’) action is such that we may attribute them to a kind of rhetorical agency. We look to the InFORM Network’s grassroots, citizen science-oriented response to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster as a case that exemplifies how a combined RGS and ANT perspective can articulate the complex wholes of material/rhetorical networks.
Cet article examine Rhetorical Genre Studies (RGS) et Actor-Network Theory (ANT). Ces deux modes d’étude sont importants dans les contextes de la recherche Canadienne. Nous prennons genre et ANT, pour retrouver une perspective que nous croyons puisse contribuer beaucoup aux études de la science dans l’âge de l’internet. On comprend les genres de textes comme une moyenne de rendre compte de la façon dont les objets deviennent des ensembles complexes et donc agir entre les différents niveaux de configuration réseau.

When this is combined with a convenience and ease of communication and an ability to contact huge numbers of people simultaneously, email becomes a rapid and effective distribution mechanism for gossip, rumour and urban legends.

"This second edition of the classic linguistics text provides a basic descriptive terminology for prose style. What is a noun style? A verb style? A hypotactic or a paratactic one? How does the running style differ from the periodic style? What do "high, middle, and low" prose style mean? How might one apply the classical terminology of rhetorical figures to prose analysis? Analyzing Prose supplies detailed, carefully charted answers to these questions in order to teach the student of prose style how and where to begin."
From the publisher's website:
"If economics is about the allocation of resources, then what is the most precious resource in our new information economy? Certainly not information, for we are drowning in it. No, what we are short of is the attention to make sense of that information.
With all the verve and erudition that have established his earlier books as classics, Richard A. Lanham here traces our epochal move from an economy of things and objects to an economy of attention. According to Lanham, the central commodity in our new age of information is not stuff but style, for style is what competes for our attention amidst the din and deluge of new media. In such a world, intellectual property will become more central to the economy than real property, while the arts and letters will grow to be more crucial than engineering, the physical sciences, and indeed economics as conventionally practiced. For Lanham, the arts and letters are the disciplines that study how human attention is allocated and how cultural capital is created and traded. In an economy of attention, style and substance change places. The new attention economy, therefore, will anoint a new set of moguls in the business world—not the CEOs or fund managers of yesteryear, but new masters of attention with a grounding in the humanities and liberal arts.
Lanham’s The Electronic Word was one of the earliest and most influential books on new electronic culture. The Economics of Attention builds on the best insights of that seminal book to map the new frontier that information technologies have created."

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.

The book defines signifying as a contest in which the most imaginative user of indirection, irony, and insult wins. The book describes a literature unit taught with inquiry and discussion methods under typical urban conditions in two high schools. The book reports that the academically marginal students posted statistically significant gains in using new awareness of metaphoric language to interpret complex relationships in literature. Chapters of the book are: The Problem; Rationale; Signifying in African American Fiction; Prior Research on Culture and Comprehension; Research Design and Implementation; Measurement Instruments; Observations of the Instructional Process; Results; Talk in the Classroom: The Transformation of Signifying; and Implications and Final Thoughts. Technical notes, reading tests, and tests of social and linguistic knowledge are attached.

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.

Music and its genres are no exception, organizing people and songs within a system of symbolic classification. Numerous studies chronicle the history of specific genres of music, but none document recurrent processes of development and change across musics. In this article, we analyze 60 musics in the United States, delineating between 12 social, organizational, and symbolic attributes. We find four distinct genre types—Avant-garde, Scene-based, Industry-based, and Traditionalist. We also find that these genre types combine to form three distinct trajectories. Two-thirds originate in an Avant-garde genre, and the rest originate as a scene or, to our surprise, in an Industry-based genre. We conclude by discussing a number of questions raised by our findings, including the implications for understanding symbolic classification in fields other than music.

Lena %XWhy do some music styles gain mass popularity while others thrive in small niches? Banding Together explores this question and reveals the attributes that together explain the growth of twentieth-century American popular music. Drawing on a vast array of examples from sixty musical styles--ranging from rap and bluegrass to death metal and South Texas polka, and including several created outside the United States--Jennifer Lena uncovers the shared grammar that allows us to understand the cultural language and evolution of popular music.
What are the common economic, organizational, ideological, and aesthetic traits among contemporary genres? Do genres follow patterns in their development? Lena discovers four dominant forms--Avant-garde, Scene-based, Industry-based, and Traditionalist--and two dominant trajectories that describe how American pop music genres develop. Outside the United States there exists a fifth form: the Government-purposed genre, which she examines in the music of China, Serbia, Nigeria, and Chile. Offering a rare analysis of how music communities operate, she looks at the shared obstacles and opportunities creative people face and reveals the ways in which people collaborate around ideas, artworks, individuals, and organizations that support their work.

%I Princeton University Press. %C Princeton, NJ %G eng %U http://press.princeton.edu/titles/9617.html %0 Journal Article %J American Behavioral Scientist %D 2011 %T Politically-Purposed Music Genres %A Lena, J. C. %A Peterson, R. A. %K genres %K music %K politics %XAlthough the class in advanced public speaking is a mainstay of communication
instruction, little scholarship has addressed the nature of expertise in public speaking or
the instructional techniques by which it is imparted. The present study conducted
in-depth interviews with 23 active college teachers of advanced public speaking, inquiring
specifically about their goals, curriculum, and classroom activities for the class and
the ways in which these were distinguished from the basic speech class. Qualitative
thematic analysis yielded six distinctive themes: (1) extensive speaking performance and
individualized critique, (2) learning additional genres, (3) learning additional theory,
(4) intensive study of models, (5) extensive self-analysis, and (6) sophisticated processes
for analyzing speaking situations. Two broad pedagogical tensions, both with classical
roots, attend these issues: (1) the tension between teaching theory and facilitating
practice and (2) the tension between teaching forms of speaking and teaching rhetorical
processes.
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.

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.

Based on a survey of various genres, in both traditional learning environments and digital formats, such as computer games, a prototype genre - the Intro - is presented for application in educational project work. %B International Conference on Computers in Education (ICCE'02) %I IEEE Computer Society %C Aukland, New Zealand %V 2 %P 1252–1256 %8 2002 %G eng %0 Book Section %B Digital Media Revisited: Theoretical and Conceptual Innovations in Digital Domains %D 2003 %T 'Gameplay': From Synthesis to Analysis (and Vice Versa) %A Liestøl, Gunnar %E Liestøl, Gunnar %E Morrison, Andrew %E Rasmussen, Terje %K analysis %K concept %K game %K genre %K humanities %K innovation %K synthesis %B Digital Media Revisited: Theoretical and Conceptual Innovations in Digital Domains %I MIT Press %C Cambridge, MA %P 389–413 %8 2003 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J International Journal of Continuing Engineering Education and Lifelong Learning %D 2006 %T Conducting Genre Convergence for Learning %A Liestøl, Gunnar %K convergence %K detective story %K digital media %K genre %K innovation %K invention %K learning %K Poe %K topos %B International Journal of Continuing Engineering Education and Lifelong Learning %V 16 %P 255–270 %8 2006 %G eng %0 Conference Paper %B World Conference on Educational Multimedia, Hypermedia and Telecommunications %D 2007 %T The Convergence of Real Space and Hyperspace: Preflections on Mobility, Localization, and Multimodality %A Liestøl, Gunnar %K cartography %K encyclopedia %K invention %K meaningware %K rhetoric %B World Conference on Educational Multimedia, Hypermedia and Telecommunications %I Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education %C Vancouver, CA %P 1423–1429 %8 2007 %G eng %0 Book Section %B Media and Cultural Studies KeyWorks %D 2012 %T Alternative and Activist New Media: A Genre Framework %A Leah A Lievrouw %E M.G Durham %E D Kellner %K new media %B Media and Cultural Studies KeyWorks %7 2nd %I Wiley-Blackwell %C Malden, MA %P 471-491 %G eng %& 35 %0 Book Section %B The Rhetoric and Ideology of Genre: Strategies for Stability and Change %D 2002 %T Learning Medical Talk: How the Apprenticeship Complicates Current Explicit/Tacit Debates in Genre Instruction %A Lingard, Lorelei %A Haber, Richard %E Coe, Richard %E Lingard, Lorelei %E Teslenko, Tatiana %B The Rhetoric and Ideology of Genre: Strategies for Stability and Change %I Hampton Press %C Cresskill, NJ %P 155–170 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Language and Learning Across the Disciplines %D 1994 %T Introducing Students to Disciplinary Genres: The Role of the General Composition Course %A Linton, Patricia %A Madigan, Robert %A Johnson, Susan %K classroom %K composition %K genre %B Language and Learning Across the Disciplines %V 1 %P 63–78 %8 1994 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %D 2007 %T Achieving Objectivity Through Genred Activity: A Case Study %A Little, J. %B Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %V 37 %P 75-94 %G eng %R 10.2190/T85G-0265-P628-6236 %0 Journal Article %J College English %D 1995 %T Disciplinary Politics and the Institutionalization of the Generic Triad in Classical Rhetoric %A Liu, Yameng %K Aristotle %K Cicero %K genre %B College English %V 57 %P 9–26 %8 1995 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J New Media & Society %D 2007 %T On the Material and the Symbolic: Silverstone's Double Articulation of Research Traditions in New Media Studies %A Livingstone, Sonia %K genre %K identity %K internet %K media %K online %B New Media & Society %V 9 %P 16–24 %8 2007 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J MedieKultur: Journal of Media and Communication Research %D 2011 %T Social Media as Communicative Genres %A Lomborg, Stine %XAs a focus of study, ‘social media’ tend to lack definitional clarity and grounding in theories of media and text. This paper establishes and discusses a conceptual framework for defining social media as communicative genres, constituted by the interplay between interactive functionalities configured at the software level and the invocation and appropriation of various software functionalities to achieve specific purposes in and through users’ actual communicative practices. I suggest that social media might be seen as particularly dynamic genres, subject to continuous disruption and uncertainty,owing to their deinstitutionalised and participatory character, and the shifting roles of producers and recipients in the networks and conversations that make up social media content.

As private individuals use media technologies to create and share personal expressions through digital networks, previous characteristics of mass media as providers of generally accessible information are no longer accurate.This article may be situated within a medium-theoretical tradition, as it elucidates technical and social dimensions of personal media and revises the distinction between mass media and personal media. A two-dimensional model suggests locating personal media and mass media according to an interactional axis and an institutional/professional axis: personal media are de-institutionalized/de-professionalized and facilitate mediated interaction.The implementation of digital media technologies has important consequences for social networks and fits well within a theoretical discussion of the post-traditional self. %B New Media & Society %V 10 %P 683–702 %8 2008 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J New Media & Society %D 2010 %T Emerging Personal Media Genres %A Lüders, Marika %A Prøitz, Lin %A Rasmussen, Terje %K affordance %K blog %K camphone %K camphone self-portrait %K digital %K emerging genre %K genre %K innovation %K medium %K online diary %K personal media %K self-portrait %K social media %K stability %K text %X In this article we argue that the concept of genre has a valuable function within sociological theory, particularly for understanding emerging communicative practices within social and personal media.

The book explores how some traditional print genres have become digital, how some genres have evolved into new digital hybrids, and how and why new genres have emerged and are emerging in response to new rhetorical exigences and communicative demands. Because social actions are in constant change and, ensuing from this, genres evolve faster than ever, it is important to gain insight into the interrelations between old genres and new genres and the processes underpinning the construction of new genre sets, chains and assemblages for communicating scientific research to both expert and diversified audiences. In examining scientific genres on the Internet this book seeks to illustrate the increasing diversification of genre ecologies and their underlying social, disciplinary and individual agendas.

Science blogs, in particular, provide an open space for science communication, where a diverse audience (with different degrees of expertise) may have access to science information intended both for nonspecialist readers and for experts. The purpose of this article is to analyze the strategies used by bloggers to communicate and recontextualize scientific discourse in the realm of science blogs. These strategies involve adjusting information to the readers’ knowledge and information needs, deploying linguistic features typical of personal, informal, and dialogic interaction to create intimacy and proximity, engaging in critical analysis of the recontextualized research and focusing on its relevance, and using explicit and personal expressions of evaluation. The article shows that, given the diverse audience of science posts, bloggers display a blending of discursive practices from different discourses and harness the affordances of new media to achieve their rhetorical purposes.

Posts in academic blogs are usually hybrid texts where various genres are connected and recontextualized; yet little research has examined how these genres function together to support scholars’ activity. The purpose of this article is to analyze how the affordances of new media enable the integration of different genres and different languages in research group blogs written by multilingual scholars and to explore how various genres are coordinated in these blogs to accomplish specific tasks. The study reported in this article shows that the functionalities of the digital medium allow research groups to incorporate myriad genres into their genre ecology and interconnect these genres in opportunistic ways to accomplish complex objectives: specifically, to publicize the group’s research and activities, make the work of the group members available to the disciplinary community, strengthen social links within their community and connect with the interested public, and raise social awareness. Findings from this study provide insights into the ways in which scholars write networked, multimedia, multigenre texts to support the group’s social and work activity.

Varying levels can be distinguished in the range of instituted genres: from genres deprived of any authorship to genres in which a single author partly defines the frame of the communicative event. However, this article deals mainly with a genre-based analysis of an instituted genre, a report on the thesis defence meeting (soutenance de thèse), as practised in French academic institutions. This genre is interesting for discourse analysts, not only because it is closely linked to scientific research communities, but also because it implies an original configuration of authorship and triggers indirect interpretation strategies. %B Discourse Studies %V 4 %P 319–342 %8 2002 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Acta Literaria %D 2003 %T Problemas genológicos del discurso ensayístico: Origen y configuración de un género %A Maíz, Claudio %B Acta Literaria %V 28 %P 79-105 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication %D 2007 %T Historical Studies of Technical Communication in the United States and England: A Fifteen-Year Retrospection and Guide to Resources %A Malone, E.A %B IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication %V 50 %P 333-351 %G eng %U http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=4381244 %R 10.1109/TPC.2007.908732 %0 Book %D 1980 %T Convention, 1500–1750 %A Manley, Lawrence %K convention %K custom %K decorum %K genre %K Renaissance %I Harvard University Press %C Cambridge, MA %8 1980 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Technical Communication Quarterly %D 2006 %T Pedagogical Approaches: Using Charettes to Perform Civic Engagement in Technical Communication Classrooms and Workplaces %A Mara, Andrew %B Technical Communication Quarterly %V 15 %P 215-236 %G eng %U http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1207/s15427625tcq1502_5 %R 10.1207/s15427625tcq1502_5 %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Business and Technical Communication %D 2008 %T Ethos as Market Maker: The Creative Role of Technical Marketing Communication in an Aviation Start-Up %A Mara, Andrew %B Journal of Business and Technical Communication %V 22 %P 429-453 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Current Anthropology %D 1980 %T Rhetoric and the Ethnographic Genre in Anthropological Research %A Marcus, George E. %K ethnography %K genre %K text construction %B Current Anthropology %V 21 %P 507–510 %8 1980 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Social Forces %D 1998 %T Birds of a Feather Sing Together %A Noah Mark %B Social Forces %V 77 %P 453-485 %8 12/1998 %G eng %N 2 %& 453 %0 Book %D 1995 %T The Catechism Yesterday and Today: The Evolution of a Genre %A Marthaler, Berard L. %K catechism %K genre %I Liturgical Press %C Collegeville, MD %8 1995 %G eng %0 Book Section %B Genre and Institutions: Social Processes in the Workplace and the School %D 1997 %T Analysing Genre: Functional Parameters %A Martin, J.

about public affairs negotiate their relationship with the genres and
social position of news journalism. Although often labelled radical
journalists, this paper finds, through interviews with seven webloggers,
that such writers orient themselves in complex ways towards news
journalism, at times drawing upon its modes of knowledge, at times
setting themselves in opposition to it and at times seeking to cross
discursive spaces. The paper concludes that, rather than emerging as a
new public communicative form or genre in relation to journalism, the
distinctiveness of the form is in its generic heterogeneity and ability to
traverse the boundaries of news and other institutional discourses.
This study asks questions about the nature of writing processes in classrooms. As students go from one classroom to another, they are presented with new speech situations, and they must determine what constitutes appropriate ways of speaking and writing in each new territory. How do students, in the course of the semester, figure out what the writing requirements are in that discipline and for that teacher, and how do they go about producing it? In order to answer these questions the researcher followed one college student's writing experiences in one class per semester during his freshman and sophomore years. Follow-up data were collected during his junior year. Four research methods were used: observation, interviews, composing-aloud protocols, and text analysis. Conclusions are drawn from the data about how this student figured out what constituted acceptable writing in each classroom, and how he worked to produce it. Also presented are conclusions about what enhanced or denied his success in communicating competently in unfamiliar academic territories. Affecting his success were unarticulated social aspects of classroom contexts for writing as well as explicitly stated requirements and instructions.

It is a required book for scholars, researchers and students who want to become acquainted with the latest theoretical, empirical and computational advances in the expanding field of web genre research. The study of web genre is an overarching and interdisciplinary novel area of research that spans from corpus linguistics, computational linguistics, NLP, and text-technology, to web mining, webometrics, social network analysis and information studies. This book gives readers a thorough grounding in the latest research on web genres and emerging document types. The book covers a wide range of web-genre focussed subjects, such as: • The identification of the sources of web genres • Automatic web genre identification • The presentation of structure-oriented models • Empirical case studies One of the driving forces behind genre research is the idea of a genre-sensitive information system, which incorporates genre cues complementing the current keyword-based search and retrieval applications.

Rocci %E L. de Saussure %K exigence %K formalism %K genre awareness %K genre system %K macrostructure %K move analysis %K rhetoric %K social action %K Text type %K uptake %K utterance %XGenre 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.

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.

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.

The effects of peers' deviancy, violent media, and importance given to lyrics were statistically controlled. A self-report questionnaire was distributed to a sample of 348 bilingual French-Canadian adolescents (age: M = 15.32; SD = 0.9; 185 girls and 163 boys). Results indicated that rap music as a whole was linked to deviant behaviors, however the nature of the relation differed according to genres. Preference for French rap had the strongest links to deviant behaviors, whereas preference for hip hop/soul was linked to less deviant behaviors. Results are discussed within the psychosocial and sociocognitive perspectives on music influence in adolescence and also within the perspective of normative deviant behaviors in adolescence.

Methodologically,we studied the web browser history of the participant, classifying all the web pages he had seen over a period of 12 days into web genres. We interviewed him before and after the analysis of the web browser history. In the first interview, he spoke about his general information behavior; in the second, he commented on each web genre, explaining why and how he used them. As a result, three approaches allow us to describe the set of 23 web genres obtained: (a) the purposes they serve for the participant; (b) the role they play in the various work and search phases; (c) and the way they are used in combination with each other. Further observations concern the way the participant assesses quality of web-based resources, and his information behavior as a software engineer. %B Information Processing and Management %V 44 %P 1410–1430 %8 2008 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %D 2006 %T From Monologue to Dialog to Chorus: The Place of Instrumental Discourse in English Studies and Technical Communication %A Moore, Patrick %B Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %V 36 %P 383-412 %G eng %R 10.2190/4480-0652-HL37-77G7 %0 Journal Article %J Technical Communication Quarterly %D 2003 %T Ralph Lane's 1586 Discourse on the First Colony: The Renaissance Commercial Report as Apologia %A Moran, Michael G. %B Technical Communication Quarterly %V 12 %P 125-154 %G eng %U http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1207/s15427625tcq1202_1 %R 10.1207/s15427625tcq1202_1 %0 Journal Article %J Technical Communication Quarterly %D 2005 %T Figures of Speech as Persuasive Strategies in Early Commercial Communication: The Use of Dominant Figures in the Raleigh Reports About Virginia in the 1580s %A Moran, Michael G. %B Technical Communication Quarterly %V 14 %P 183-196 %G eng %U http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1207/s15427625tcq1402_4 %R 10.1207/s15427625tcq1402_4 %0 Book %D 1985 %T Research in Technical Communication: A Bibliographic Sourcebook %A Moran, Michael G. %A Journet, Debra %I Greenwood Press %C Westport, CT %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %D 2012 %T A Bibliography of Works Published in the History of Professional Communication from 1994-2009: Part 2 %A Moran, Michael G. %A Tebeaux, Elizabeth %B Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %V 42 %P 57-86 %G eng %R 10.2190/TW.42.1.e %0 Book %D 2005 %T Graphs, Maps, Trees: Abstract Models for a Literary History %A Moretti, Franco %K chronology %K fiction %K genre %K history %K literature %I Verso %C London %8 2005 %@ 978-1-84467-185-4 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Critical Studies in Media Communication %D 2011 %T "Hick-Hop Hooray? 'Honky Tonk Badonkadonk,' Musical Genre, and the Misrecognitions of Hybridity." %A Morris, David %K Cosmopolitanism %K Country music %K Hip-Hop %K Hybridity %K parody %K Whiteness %XThis paper takes the country music song and video ‘‘Honky Tonk Badonkadonk’’ as a case study of the deeply ambivalent potentials of hybridity in contemporary culture. ‘‘Badonkadonk’’ was celebrated by some as joining hip hop and country music to create a ‘‘hybrid,’’ a type of cultural text valorized in various intellectual and popular discourses as both embodying and advancing progressive social values such as antiracism and antiemperialism. This essay, however, uses close reading and an account of ‘‘Badonkadonk’s’’context within country music’s generic selfconstruction to expose the conflicted nature of the text’s hybridity, which includes substantial reactionary and essentialist elements. ‘‘Badonkadonk’’ caters to American culture’s growing embrace of hybridity while continuing twentieth century efforts to downplay country music’s racially hybrid roots.
This instance highlights problems in concepts such as hybridity and cosmopolitanism. This includes the crucial distinction between consciously hybrid works of art or culture, and the less consciously hybrid objects that emerge ‘‘naturally’’ from the mixing of cultures. The rise of selfconsciously hybrid culture and the celebration of hybridity have been partially enabled by contemporary academic theories of hybridity’s progressivism. The essay concludes by highlighting some of the strategic and philosophical shortcomings of such selfconscious hybridism.

This article analyses how popular genre cinema tackles the inequalities – in particular, gender inequalities – that follow from the financial crisis, situating Hollywood’s representational strategies in the context of recessionary media culture. It posits and analyses two sub-genres which demonstrate different approaches to an altered socio-economic climate: the recessionary ‘chick flick’ and the corporate melodrama. Amid the financial crisis these sub-genres shift emphasis to respond to changing circumstances, notably in relation to the once-ubiquitous trope of choice central to post-feminist media culture; neoliberal choice rhetoric is now considerably harder to maintain. The two case studies contrast the different ways in which female-centred chick flicks and male-centred corporate melodramas address unemployment, downward mobility and the challenges of work–life balance.

Keith Negus examines the contrasting strategies of major labels like Sony and Polygram in managing different genres, artists and staff. How do takeovers affect the treatment of artists? Why has Polygram been perceived as too European to attract US artists? And how did Warner's wooden floors help them sign Green Day? Through in-depth case studies of three major genres; rap, country, and salsa, Negus explores the way in which the music industry recognises and rewards certain sounds, and how this influences both the creativity of musicians, and their audiences. He examines the tension between raps public image as the spontaneous `music of the streets' and the practicalities of the market, and asks why country labels and radio stations promote top-selling acts like Garth Brooks over hard-to-classify artists like Mary Chapin-Carpenter, and how the lack of soundscan systems in Puerto Rican record shops affects salsa music's position on the US Billboard chart. Drawing on over seventy interviews with music industry personnel in Britain and the United States, Music Genres and Corporate Cultures shows how the creation, circulation and consumption of popular music is shaped by record companies and corporate business styles while stressing that music production takes within a broader culture, not totally within the control of large corporations.

By reviewing selected literature and presenting and discussing excerpts of clinical case reports from Egyptian antiquity to the 20th century, we illustrate the presence of the genre in medical science and how its form developed. Central features of the clinical case report in different time periods are discussed, including its main components, structure, style and author presence.

The main argument is that the genre being used is "real life'. The game's creators are assuming the players share with them, and with each other, an understanding of real life, which can be transposed into the game world. The article explores this notion of a real-life narrative that is shared, by considering the ways in which family and other relationships are both conceptualized and played out in the game. Whilst real life as genre is problematized here, the tensions and conflicts of contemporary real-world conceptualizations of family and other relationships do appear to be represented in the game. What is interesting then, given this, are the ways in which players negotiate the gameplay. The article concludes by suggesting that players are active agents negotiating both the game' s version of real life, and their own real-world experiences.

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 Book %D 1969 %T The new rhetoric: A treatise on argumentation %A Perelman, C.

From a textual perspective, corpus-informed instruction helps students identify grammar items through statistical frequencies, collocational patterns, context-sensitive meanings and discoursal uses of words. From a genre perspective, corpus observation provides students with exposure to recurrent lexico-grammatical patterns across different academic text types (genres). From a social perspective, corpus models can be used to raise learners' awareness of how speakers' different discourse roles, discourse privileges and power statuses are enacted in their grammar choices. The paper describes corpus-based instructional procedures, gives samples of learners' linguistic output, and provides comments on the students' response to this method of instruction. Data resulting from the assessment process and student production suggest that corpus-informed instruction grounded in Bhatia's multi-perspective model can constitute a pedagogical approach in order to i) obtain positive student responses from input and authentic samples of grammar use, ii) help students identify and understand the textual, genre and social aspects of grammar in real contexts of use, and therefore iii) help develop students' ability to use grammar accurately and appropriately.

Gotti and D. Giannoni eds %D 2014 %T Researching genres with multilingual corpora: A conceptual enquiry %A Carmen Pérez-Llantada %K academic writing %K English for academic purposes %K genre analysis %K research genres %XIn 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.

SOME CROSS-DISCIPLINARY TRENDS %A Carmen Pérez-Llantada %K digital technologies %K EAP tasks-based learning %K genre innovation %K genre systems %K multimodality %K research genres %XThere 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.

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.

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.

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.

Genre will be seen to be not just a useful metaphor, but an important analytical tool in approaching the analysis of museum exhibitions as texts. Two concurrent exhibitions from a science and technology museum are compared in terms of genre, and it is argued that genre is a useful tool for identifying their distinctive social purposes. It is also noted that the unique nature of these complex, three-dimensional, multimodal texts requires some of the linguistic understandings of genre to be adapted. Connections are made both ‘below’, to aspects of register variation, and ‘above’, to the ideological stance and communicative potential of the museum as a whole as a communicative entity. %B Linguistics and the Human Sciences %V 2 %P 299–317 %8 2006 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Technical Communication Quarterly %D 2014 %T Agency and Interactive Data Displays: Internet Graphics as Co-Created Rhetorical Spaces %A Rawlins, Jacob D. %A Wilson, Gregory D. %B Technical Communication Quarterly %V 23 %P 303-322 %G eng %U http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10572252.2014.942468 %R 10.1080/10572252.2014.942468 %0 Journal Article %J Computers and Composition %D 2013 %T More than Just Remixing: Uptake and New Media Composition %A Brian Ray %XThis article turns to genre theory’s recent explorations of uptake, broadly defined as the ways genres interact, as a resource forsketching a pedagogy of shuttling between genres.

For this purpose, we have developed a database-driven system that will ultimately consist of more than 3 000 000 HTML documents, written in German, which are the empirical basis for our research. We introduce the notions of Web genre type which constitutes the basic framework for a certain Web genre, and compulsory and optional Web genre modules. These act as building blocks which go together to make up the structure characterised by theWeb genre type and furthermore, operate as modifiers for the defaultThe present research examined the content and validity of stereotypes about fans of 14 different music genres (e.g. country, rap, rock). In particular, we focused on stereotypes concerning fans’ personalities (e.g. extraversion, emotional stability), personal qualities (e.g. political beliefs, athleticism), values (e.g. for peace, for wisdom), and alcohol and drug preferences (e.g. wine, hallucinogens). Previous research has shown that music is linked to a variety of psychological characteristics, that music is used to convey information about oneself to observers, and that observers can infer personality on the basis of music preferences. Guided by such research, we predicted and found that individuals have robust and clearly defined stereotypes about the fans of various music genres (Study 1), and that many of these music-genre stereotypes possess a kernel of truth (Study 2). Discussion focuses on the potential role of music-genre stereotypes in self-expression and impression formation.

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 Journal Article %J Technical Communication Quarterly %D 1997 %T Environmental Policy Making and the Report Genre %A Carolyn D.

As far as tv is concerned, this orientation focuses our attention (1) on the (psychological) processes of concept formation (e.g. genre-concepts like ‘detective show’, ‘tv news’, ‘situation comedy’, etc.), on the establishment of appropriate schemata, frames and the like; (2) on the structure of such media-specific genre-concepts, and (3) on the uses made of those concepts in the domain of production (e.g. by producers, directors, actors etc.) on the one hand and in the domain of reception (e.g. by tv-viewers) on the other hand. Accordingly, the article presents a brief introduction to some of the main elements of a theory of cognition, of social interaction and communication of cognitive systems. This theoretical basis will then be employed in the construction of models of media systems, media use and genre schemata. The uses of genre-concepts will be analyzed with respect to production (public tv-broadcasting-corporations), mediation (e.g. tv guides and announcements and reception (tv viewers' genre-concepts). %B Poetics %V 16 %P 431–469 %8 1987 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Written Communication %D 1997 %T Rethinking Genre in School and Society: An Activity Theory Analysis %A Russell, David R. %K activity %K classroom %K composition %K dialogue %K genre %K situation %K system %K Vygotsky %K workplace %X The 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. %B Written Communication %V 14 %P 504–554 %8 1997 %G eng %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 Book Section %B Writing Across the Curriculum: A Critical Sourcebook %D 2011 %T Exploring Notions of Genre in ‘Academic Literacies’ and ‘Writing Across the Curriculum’: Approaches Across Countries and Contexts %A David Russell %A Mary Lea %A Jan Parker %A Brian Street %A Tiane Donahue %B Writing Across the Curriculum: A Critical Sourcebook %7 1 %I Bedford/St. Martin's %C Boston %P 448-472 %G eng %& 26 %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 Written Communication %D 1997 %T Rethinking Genre in School and Society: An Activity Theory Analysis %A Russell, David R. %B Written Communication %V 14 %P 504–554 %G eng %R 10.1177/0741088397014004004 %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Business and Technical Communication %D 2007 %T Rethinking the Articulation Between Business and Technical Communication and Writing in the Disciplines: Useful Avenues for Teaching and Research %A Russell, David R. %B Journal of Business and Technical Communication %V 21 %P 248-277 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Poetics %D 1981 %T Introduction: On the Why, What and How of Generic Taxonomy %A Ryan, Marie-Laure %K genre %B Poetics %V 10 %P 109–26 %8 1981 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J International Journal of Human-Computer Studies %D 2003 %T The Evolution of U.S. State Government Home Pages from 1997 to 2002 %A Ryan, Terry %A Field, Richard H.

We found that three primary dimensions explain the variation in perceptions of home pages. These are the layout of the page, its navigation support, and its information density. Over the years, variation in navigation support declined and variation in information density increased. We discovered that four types of state government home page have existed continuously from 1997 to 2001. These are the ‘Long List of Text Links’, the ‘Simple Rectangle’, the ‘Short L’, and the ‘High Density/Long L’. To this taxonomy, two other page types can be added: the ‘Portal’ page and the ‘Boxes’ page. The taxonomy we have identified allows for a better understanding of the design of US state home pages, and may generalize to other categories of home pages. %B International Journal of Human-Computer Studies %V 59 %P 403–430 %8 2003 %G eng %0 Book %D 1992 %T Teaching Children's Literature %A Sadler, Glenn Edward %K literature %I New York %C Modern Language Association %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Publications of the Modern Language Association %D 2007 %T The Polyvalent Discourse of Electronic Music %A Saiber, Arielle %K audience %K author %K canon %K market %K music %K text %B Publications of the Modern Language Association %V 122 %P 1613–1625 %8 2007 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %D 2011 %T Meeting Students Where They Are: Advancing a Theory and Practice of Archives in the Classroom %A Saidy, Christina %A Hannah, Mark %A Sura, Tom %B Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %V 41 %P 173-191 %G eng %R .10.2190/TW.41.2.e %0 Journal Article %J IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication %D 2006 %T .., Is Different From ,.. : A Corpus-Based Study of Evaluative Adjectives in Economics Discourse %A Samson, C. %B IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication %V 49 %P 236-245 %G eng %U http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=1684205 %R 10.1109/TPC.2006.880741 %0 Conference Paper %B 40th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences %D 2007 %T Characterizing Genres of Web Pages: Genre Hybridism and Individualization %A Santini, Marina %K genre %K hybrid %K information science %B 40th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences %P 71–81 %8 2007 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %D 2002 %T Does Being Technical Matter?

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 Poetics %D 1987 %T Towards a Constructivist Theory of Media Genre %A Schmidt, S. J. %K function %K genre %K media %X 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. %B Poetics %V 16 %P 371–395 %8 1987 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Business and Technical Communication %D 2002 %T Theorizing Structure and Agency in Workplace Writing: An Ethnomethodological Aroach %A Schneider, Barbara %B Journal of Business and Technical Communication %V 16 %P 170-195 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Organization Studies %D 2013 %T The Pervasive Power of PowerPoint: How a Genre of Professional Communication Permeates Organizational Communication %A Schoeneborn, Dennis %K documentation %K oral presentation %K organizational communication %K powerpoint %XThis 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.

and agency, relevant theories in that area are reviewed as well. Finally, the entry notes some of the
pedagogical implications of genre research.
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.”

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.

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. %B International Journal of Applied Linguistics %V 6 %P 43–63 %8 1996 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J International Journal of Applied Linguistics %D 2005 %T The Use of Metadiscourse in Introductory Sections of a New Genre %A Skulstad, Aud Solbjørd %K corporate environmental report %K emerging genre %K introduction %K linguistics %K metadiscourse %X This article examines the use of metadiscourse in introductory sections of the new (emerging) genre of environmental reports. 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. %B International Journal of Applied Linguistics %V 15 %P 71–86 %8 2005 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Business and Technical Communication %D 1999 %T Storytelling in a Central Bank: The Role of Narrative in the Creation and Use of Specialized Economic Knowledge %A Smart, Graham %B Journal of Business and Technical Communication %V 13 %P 249-273 %G eng %0 Book Section %B Rhetorical Genre Studies and Beyond %D 2008 %T Developing a 'Discursive Gaze'': Participatory Action Research with Student Interns Encountering New Genres in the Activity of the Workplace %A Smart, Graham %A Brown, Nicole %E Artemeva, Natasha %E Freedman, Aviva %B Rhetorical Genre Studies and Beyond %I Inkshed %C Winnipeg, Manitoba %P 241–279 %G eng %U http://http-server.carleton.ca/ nartemev/Artemeva%20&%20Freedman%20Rhetorical%20Genre%20Studies%20and%20beyond.pdf %0 Journal Article %J Technical Communication Quarterly %D 2003 %T What is 'Good' Technical Communication?

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 Book %D 1968 %T A Handbook to Sixteenth-Century Rhetoric %A Sonnino, Lee A. %K figures %K genres %K handbooks %K Renaissance %K tropes %I Barnes and Noble, Inc. %C New York %8 1968 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Business and Technical Communication %D 2006 %T Look Who's Talking: Teaching and Learning Using the Genre of Medical Case Presentations %A Spafford, Marlee M. %A Schryer, Catherine F. %A Mian, Marcellina %A Lingard, Lorelei %B Journal of Business and Technical Communication %V 20 %P 121-158 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Business & Technical Communication %D 2006 %T Look Who's Talking: Teaching and Learning Using the Genre of Medical Case Presentations %A Spafford, Marlee %A Schryer, Catherine F. %A Mian, Marcellina %A Lingard, Lorelei %B Journal of Business & Technical Communication %V 20 %P 121–158 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Technical Communication Quarterly %D 2010 %T Accessibility and Order: Crossing Borders in Child Abuse Forensic Reports %A Spafford, Marlee M. %A Schryer, Catherine F. %A Lingard, Lorelei %A Mian, Marcellina %B Technical Communication Quarterly %V 19 %P 118-143 %G eng %U http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10572250903559324 %R 10.1080/10572250903559324 %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Business and Technical Communication %D 2015 %T Writing Entrepreneurs: A Survey of Attitudes, Habits, Skills, and Genres %A Spartz, John M. %A Weber, Ryan P. %B Journal of Business and Technical Communication %V 29 %P 428–455 %G eng %U http://jbt.sagepub.com/content/29/4/428.abstract http://jbt.sagepub.com/content/29/4/428 %R 10.1177/1050651915588145 %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %D 2002 %T Persuasive Techniques Used in Fundraising Messages %A Spears, Lee A. %B Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %V 32 %P 245-265 %G eng %R 10.2190/BE4V-QJNC-Q97H-DFXN %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %D 2001 %T Grappling with Distributed Usability: A Cultural-Historical Examination of Documentation Genres Over Four Decades %A Spinuzz, Clay %B Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %V 31 %P 41-59 %G eng %R 10.2190/8GBC-J04R-VKCF-NJJP %0 Journal Article %J Computers and Composition %D 2001 %T "Light Green Doesn't Mean Hydrology!": Toward a Visual-Rhetorical Framework for Interface Design %A Spinuzzi, Clay %XThe utility of metaphor as a visual–rhetorical design framework has diminished dramatically, and continues to erode.

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. %B 20th Annual International Conference on Computer Documentation %I ACM Press %P 200–207 %8 2002 %G eng %0 Book Section %B Writing Selves/Writing Societies: Research from Activity Perspectives %D 2003 %T Compound Mediation in Software Development: Using Genre Ecologies to Study Textual Artifacts %A Spinuzzi, Clay %E Bazerman, Charles %E Russell, David %K activity theory %K ecology %K genre %K mediation %K text %B Writing Selves/Writing Societies: Research from Activity Perspectives %I The WAC Clearinghouse and Mind, Culture, and Activity %C Fort Collins, CO %P 97–124 %8 2003 %G eng %U http://wac.colostate.edu/books/selves_societies/index.cfm %0 Book %B Acting with Technology %D 2003 %T Tracing Genres through Organizations: A Sociocultural Approach to Information %A Spinuzzi, Clay %E Nardi, Bonnie %E Kaptelinin, Viktor %E Foot, Kirsten %K activity system %K artifact %K genre %K information design %K user %B Acting with Technology %I MIT Press %C Cambridge, MA %8 2003 %G eng %0 Book Section %B 22nd Annual International Conference on Design of Communication: The Engineering of Quality Documentation %D 2004 %T Four Ways to Investigate Assemblages of Texts: Genre Sets, Systems, Repertoires, and Ecologies %A Spinuzzi, Clay %K ecology %K genre %K repertoire %K set %K system %X Genre theorists agree that genres work together in assemblages.But what is the nature of these assemblages?

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. %B ACM Journal of Computer Documentation %V 24 %P 169–181 %8 2000 %G eng %0 Conference Proceedings %B ACM SIGDOC 1999: Proceedings of the 17th Annual International Conference on Computer Documentation %D 1999 %T Grappling with distributed usability: A cultural-historical examination of documentation genres over four decades %A Spinuzzi, Clay %B ACM SIGDOC 1999: Proceedings of the 17th Annual International Conference on Computer Documentation %I ACM %C New York %P 16-21 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J College Composition and Communication %D 1996 %T Postings on a Genre of Email %A Spooner, Michael %A Yancey, Kathleen %K computer %K dialogue %K genre %B College Composition and Communication %V 47 %P 252–278 %8 1996 %G eng %0 Conference Proceedings %B International Conference on Computational Linguistics and The Proceedings of the 18th Conference on Computational Linguistics %D 2002 %T Text genre detection using common word frequencies %A Stamatatos, E. %A Fakotakis, N. %A Kokkinakis, G. %B International Conference on Computational Linguistics and The Proceedings of the 18th Conference on Computational Linguistics %P 808-814 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Language@Internet %D 2006 %T The Website as a Domain-Specific Genre %A Stein, Dieter %K digital %K genre %K internet %K medium %K new genre %K technology %K website %X The paper takes an initial look at how the medial conditions of the screen and the Internet define newconstraints for language and style of company websites.

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.
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.

This essay seeks to contribute to this growing scholarship by adding a new concept, intermediary genre. That is, a genre that facilitates the “uptake” of a genre by another genre. This concept is designed to reveal a particular aspect of multiple genres: that one genre can be used to connect and mobilize two otherwise unconnected genres to make uptake possible.

This essay seeks to contribute to this growing scholarship by adding a new concept, intermediary genre. That is, a genre that facilitates the “uptake” of a genre by another genre. This concept is designed to reveal a particular aspect of multiple genres: that one genre can be used to connect and mobilize two otherwise unconnected genres to make uptake possible. The concept is illustrated in case study of knowledge mobilization, an instance in which scientific research was used in the judicial system to inform public policies on eyewitness handling and police-lineup procedures. The case study shows how intermediary genres emerge, how they connect other genres, and how knowledge circulates as a result of such connections and affects policy decisions.

The purpose of this paper is to review key findings from 60 empirical studies that have investigated this question. To this point, research has typically studied genre learning as it occurs either through professional or disciplinary practice or through classroom instruction; almost no studies have looked at the same writers as they traverse these multiple domains. I therefore categorize studies as taking place in either ‘‘practice-based’’ or ‘‘instructional’’ settings and identify trends in the research findings from each setting. After examining one study which takes place in multiple settings, I tease out some of the commonalities and distinctions between learning in practice-based and instructional contexts and between first language and second language genre learning. On the basis of this comparative review of research, I suggest future directions for the interdisciplinary study of genre learning.

For Tardy, genres aren’t “fixed,” and she argues also that neither genre constraints nor innovations are objective—that they can be accepted or rejected depending on the context." - See more at: http://www.press.umich.edu/5173647/beyond_convention#sthash.dEFIj3AT.dpuf

Like other genres, performance encompasses a broad range of rehearsed and codified behaviors, such as dance, theater, music recitals, sports events, and rituals. A performance lens allows scholars to look at acts, things, and ideas as performance. Looking at America as performance might explain why it is difficult to approach it as a disciplinary field of study. What might the shift in genres-from the scripted genres associated with the archive to the live, embodied behaviors that are the repertoire of cultural practices-enable? This essay proposes that an analysis of the performance of America might allow scholars to rethink not only their object of analysis but also their scholarly interactions.

Descriptions of Method in Scholarship on Canadian Literature %A Thieme, Katja %XLiterary studies are often seen as a discipline without method. Research articles in literature do not have method sections, nor do they list what type of evidence has been included in a particular project or by what procedures primary material was analyzed. Because of implicitness of questions of method and research design, writing in literary studies is difficult to teach and often relies on students’ abilities to infer their own strategies for reading and writing. I analyze a textual corpus of recent research articles from Canadian Literature and Studies in Canadian Literature in order to clarify typical discursive patterns that are used when discussing methods of literary scholarship. On the basis of these findings, we can ask: How can teaching in literary studies be adjusted in order to demystify the methodological practices of the discipline?

Citation practices and a scholarly community of care in trans studies research articles %A Thieme, Katja %A Saunders, Mary Ann S. %XTrans rights advocacy is a social justice movement that is transforming language practices relating to gender. Research has highlighted the fact that language which constructs gender as binary harms trans people, and some trans studies researchers have developed guidelines for honouring trans people’s names and pronouns. The language of academic writing is an area of discussion where questions of trans rights and trans experiences have not yet been addressed. This paper draws on two data sources to explore the citation experiences and practices of trans scholars and activists: a web-based archive of writers’ perspectives built between 2015 and 2016; and a corpus-based study of 14 research articles published in TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly. Our analysis highlights the sensitivity that is required of colleagues who work with transgender authors’ writing, furthering our understanding of citation as a collaborative and potentially intimate and caring practice. Practices of referring to work by trans scholars pose ethical questions about the social relations expressed in citation in general, enabling applied language scholars to develop a new and different awareness of the sociality of citation.

Current teaching of academic English carries an ethos of making practices of research writing accessible to students from marginalized backgrounds through explicit attention to language patterns and genre structures. In the context of both ideological critique and explicit pedagogy, I discuss three pragmatic elements of research writing—positionality, citation, and evaluation—with examples from one of my courses. I present these elements and my approach to teaching them as a practice that is attentive to both details of published scholarship and students’ agency and intentionality in shaping their own writing projects, claims, and arguments. My work is framed by a functional approach to grammar where grammar is not interesting as a standardized apparatus but as a code that provides a range of options for producing performative effects. I call this spacious grammar.

Here, occlusion is proposed as a property of the processes by which genres are taken up. While routine use of genres creates expectations around when the genre’s uptake is commonly occluded, such expected practice can be subverted by deliberate disclosure. Occlusion and disclosure in the process of genre uptake thus become argumentative and powerful moves in communicative interaction. In three case studies, I analyze processes of occlusion in relationship to the genre of the letter to the university president.

Militancy played an influential role in Canadian suffrage history not through its practice–there was no Canadian militant campaign–but through an ongoing discussion of its meaning. Using Anne Freadman's notions of genre and uptake, this paper analyzes the discursive uptake of suffrage militancy—from news reports on front pages, to commentary on women's pages, to reviews of Emmeline Pankhurst's Canadian speaking engagements. The Canadian debate about militancy is a fertile site for drawing out the roles of genre and uptake in the political positioning of both suffragists and suffrage sceptics. Talk about militancy serves as a way to regulate the uptake of this particular genre of political action, whereby both sides tended to share the optimistic view that Canadian suffragists where not yet in need of militancy.

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.

Through the mass media these songs of Chile, Brazil, Cuba, and the Hispanic U.S. community-to name the most prominent sources of nueva cancion-reach beyond the borders of the Latin American countries of South and Central America and cultivate audiences throughout the world, among Latino and non-Latino cultural groups alike (see Vigliette 1986). Despite the mass media performance context of nueva cancion, this music embodies more than commercial value for these musicians and critical Latin American scholars. For many of its practitioners nueva cancion symbolizes a search for political, economic, and cultural identity in order to counteract widespread cultural stereotyping, economic domination by transnational corporations, and political manipulation by North American policy.

This article examines the common computer-mediated communication (CMC) phenomenon of ‘flaming’ from a rhetorical perspective, situating the phenomenon diachronically in the histories of invective in art and society. An examination of the notorious alt.flame newsgroup draws connections between the political and sexual content of the flames and the rants and dozens genres of invective. The article concludes with an argument against the still prevalent media-determinant view that holds that flaming is somehow caused by the medium of CMC itself. Given the strategic nature of the different kinds of flames, it makes more sense to view them as performative enactments of identity which stress either group or individual identity depending on the genre
of invective utilized by the flamer. This article demonstrates that the more historical approach offered by rhetorical criticism gives a vital perspective to an area of study from which rhetorical critics have for too long been absent.
A Genre Analysis of Social Change contributes to current scholarship in rhetorical genre studies and discourse analysis in contexts of social change. Diana Wegner explores the ways that historical genre systems can be transformed through the process of discursive uptake across genres and their spheres of activity. In this study such cross-genre uptake is pursued from its beginning in advocacy genres to its incorporation into higher-level, institutional genres. It represents the summation of Wegner’s work over many years on how systems of genre can adapt to change as groups and institutional systems negotiate the uptake of solutions to major social challenges, in this case study the Canadian “Housing First” solution to ending homelessness. Her study shows how rhetorical genre analysis can offer insight into issues related to social justice for marginal groups within society.
Introducing the concepts of “deep” and “shallow” genre memory, Wegner analyzes why uptake is problematic and disturbing for those participants in the homelessness genre system who find that the receiving genre does not “remember” the historical moorings of its antecedent contexts. Genre provides an explanatory framework for these uptake dynamics, and for both the re-inscription of power relations and the incremental progress of the shared struggle to help homeless people.

A reading of Robert Burton’s The Anatomy of Melancholy as a multigenred text suggests some of the potentials of this approach.

It draws on published and unpublished materials from the period, including archival materials from E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company and Scovill Manufacturing Company. The historical analysis shows that the memo developed from the letter, not for reasons related to rhetorical theory, but as a practical response to two sets of developments: (I) the emergence of new managerial theory and techniques, and (2) innovations in the technology of written communication. The study also reveals a significant lag between the actual emergence of the genre and its recognition in instructional materials in communication. %B Management Communication Quarterly %V 2 %8 1989 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Academy of Management Review %D 1992 %T Genres of Organizational Communication: A Structurational Approach to Studying Communication and Media %A Yates, JoAnne %A Orlikowski, Wanda %K emergence %K evolution %K genre %K Giddens %K letter %K media %K medium %K memo %K structuration %K textual %B Academy of Management Review %V 17 %P 299–326 %8 1992 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Business Communication %D 2002 %T Genre systems: Structuring interaction through communicative norms %A Yates, JoAnne %A Orlikowski, Wanda %K collaboration %K digital media %K genre %K system %K team %K technology %X In this paper we demonstrate that teams may use genre systems—sequences of interrelated communicative actions_deliberately or habitually, to structure their collaboration. Using data over a seven-month period from three teams' use of a collaborative electronic technology, Team Room, we illustrate that genre systems are a means of structuring six dimensions of communicative interaction: purpose (why), content (what), participants (who/m), form (how), time (when), and place (where). We suggest that researchers and users may benefit from explicitly recognizing the role genre systems can play in collaboration and from examining changes in these six dimensions accompanying changes in electronic technology. %B Journal of Business Communication %V 39 %P 13–35 %8 2002 %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 The PowerPoint Presentation and Its Corollaries: How Genres Shape Communicative Action in Organizations %A Yates, JoAnne %A Orlikowski, Wanda %E Zachry, Mark %E Thralls, Charlotte %K evolution %K genre %K Giddens %K powerpoint %K structuration %B Communicative Practices in Workplaces and the Professions: Cultural Perspectives on the Regulation of Discourse and Organizations %I Baywood Publishing Company %C Amityville, NY %P 67–91 %8 2007 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Organization Science %D 1999 %T Explicit and Implicit Structuring of Genres in Electronic Communication: Reinforcement and Change of Social Interaction %A Yates, JoAnne %A Orlikowski, Wanda J. %A Okamura, Kazuo %K electronic media %K genre %K Giddens %K organization %K structuration %X In a study of how an F&D group in a Japanese firm adopted and used a new electronic medium, we identified two contrasting patterns of use: the use of community-wide communication types, or genres, deliberately shaped by the action of a small, sanctioned group of mediators; and the use of local genres tacitly shaped by members within their own research teams. We suggest that these patterns reflect the more general processes of explicit and implicit structuring, resulting in both the reinforcement and change of social interaction within communities. Explicit structuring included the planned replication, planned modification, and opportunistic modification of existing genres, while implicit structuring inclided the migration and variation of existing genres. We believe that these two processes provide suggestive models for understanding the initial and ongoing use of new electronic media within a community. %B Organization Science %V 10 %P 83–103 %8 1999 %G eng %0 Conference Paper %B Thirtieth Annual Hawaii Conference on System Sciences %D 1997 %T Collaborative Genres for Collaboration: Genre Systems in Digital Media %A Yates, JoAnne %A Orlikowski, Wanda J. %A Rennecker, Julie %K CMC %K collaboration %K electronic communication %K genre system %K Lotus Notes %K team %B Thirtieth Annual Hawaii Conference on System Sciences %I IEEE Computer Society Press %P 50–59 %8 1997 %G eng %0 Conference Paper %B Thirtieth Annual Hawaii Conference on System Sciences %D 1997 %T Digital Genres and the New Burden of Fixity %A Yates, Simeon J. %A Sumner, Tamara R. %K change %K CMC %K community %K corpus %K evolution %K genre %K stability %B Thirtieth Annual Hawaii Conference on System Sciences %I IEEE Computer Society Press %P 3–12 %8 1997 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication %D 2001 %T The local and the global: an exploration into the Finnish and English Websites of a Finnish company %A Yli-Jokipii, Hilkka M. %B IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication %V 44 %P 104-113 %G eng %U http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=925512 %R 10.1109/47.925512 %0 Journal Article %J Technical Communication Quarterly %D 1998 %T The representation of leisure in corporate publicity material: The case of a Finnish pine construction company %A Yli-Jokipii, Hilkka M. %B Technical Communication Quarterly %V 7 %P 259-270 %G eng %U http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10572259809364630 %R 10.1080/10572259809364630 %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Business and Technical Communication %D 2011 %T Integrating Technical Communication Into China's English Major Curriculum %A Yu, Han %B Journal of Business and Technical Communication %V 25 %P 68-94 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication %D 2011 %T Integrating Intercultural Communication into an Engineering Communication Service Class Tutorial %A Yu, Han %B IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication %V 54 %P 83-96 %G eng %U http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=5669354 %R 10.1109/TPC.2010.2099830 %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %D 2008 %T Contextualize Technical Writing Assessment to Better Prepare Students for Workplace Writing: Student-Centered Assessment Instruments %A Yu, Han %B Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %V 38 %P 265-284 %G eng %R 10.2190/TW.38.3.e %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %D 2001 %T Constructing Usable Documentation: A Study of Communicative Practices and the Early Uses of Mainframe Computing in Industry %A Zachry, Mark %B Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %V 31 %P 61-76 %G eng %R 10.2190/C8TF-TBAV-FH8U-UU9K %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %D 2000 %T Communicative Practices in the Workplace: A Historical Examination of Genre Development %A Zachry, Mark %B Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %V 30 %P 57-79 %G eng %R 10.2190/UMGD-LGR6-QJUE-CJHY %0 Journal Article %J Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %D 2000 %T Communicative Practices in the Workplace: A Historical Examination of Genre Development %A Zachry, Mark %K activity theory %K evolution %K genre %K history %K organizational communication %K workplace %B Journal of Technical Writing and Communication %V 30 %P 57–79 %8 2000 %G eng %0 Conference Proceedings %B ACM SIGDOC 1999: Proceedings of the 17th Annual International Conference on Computer Documentation %D 1999 %T Constructing usable documentation: A study of communicative practices and the early uses of mainframe computing in industry %A Zachry, M %B ACM SIGDOC 1999: Proceedings of the 17th Annual International Conference on Computer Documentation %I ACM %C New York %P 22-25 %G eng %0 Journal Article %J Discourse, Context & Media %D 2017 %T Selfies in ‘mommyblogging’: An emerging visual genre %A Zappavigna, Michele %A Zhao, Sumin %XThis article employs multimodal discourse analysis to explore how mothers represent their everyday experiences of motherhood on Instagram through different forms of self-portraiture. It investigates whether the ‘selfies’ that they share can be characterized as a visual genre and identifies four subgenres: presented, mirrored, inferred and implied selfies. The article illustrates the different ways in which the photographer’s perspective can be represented in each subgenre. The aim is to show that the function of the selfie as a multimodal genre is not solely to represent ‘the self’ but rather to enact intersubjectivity, that is, to generate various possibilities of relations between perspectives on a particular topic, issue, or experience and hence to open up potential for negotiating different points of view.

However, little attention has been paid to advertorials as an emerging hybridized genre. To identify the generic and linguistic characteristics of advertorials, and therefore to classify advertorials into an appropriate genre, this study carries out a comprehensive genre analysis of advertorials based on Bhatia’s (1993) seven-step genre analysis methodology. A corpus of 55 advertorials was collected from four English-language magazines and two English-language newspapers, from which a sub-corpus of 12 samples was further selected for a thorough examination of linguistic characteristics. Attempting to gain a comprehensive view of generic features of advertorials, this study makes a critical comparison of advertorials with three inextricably related genres: advertisements, news stories and editorials. Linguistic evidence sufficiently demonstrates that advertorials share fundamental generic and linguistic natures with advertisements and proposes classifying advertorials as a sub-genre of advertisements.

Ss read texts either with a literary story or with a news story as the purported genre. Subsequently, they verified statements pertaining to the texts. Two experiments demonstrated that Ss reading under a literary perspective had longer reading times, better memory for surface information, and a poorer memory for situational information than those reading under a news perspective. Regression analyses of reading times produced findings that were consistent with the memory data. The results support the notion that readers differentially allocate their processing resources according to their expectations about the genre of a text.

First, we consider the dynamics
inherent in the emergence of genres. Our view is that genres emerge relative
to two sets of constraints, which we aim to capture in our double feedback loop
model for the dynamics of genres. On the one hand, (text) genres, or text types,
as we will interchangeably call them, emerge as a variation of already existing
text types. On the other hand, genres develop as a response to the negative
constraints or positive affordances of given situations: that is, either the “exigencies”
of the situation or the new resources available in a situation.
Accordingly, Section 1 is mainly devoted to a characterization of situations
and of the dynamic relation between situational constraints/affordances and
genres. Our main claim is that situations and genres stand in a relation of
mutual scaffolding to each other so that the existence of a text type is not
simply caused by the exigencies present in a given situation, but, once emerged,
also feeds back into the situation, further stabilizing or consolidating it: hence,
the use of the term “feedback loop.” Section 2 is a more detailed discussion of
the dynamics of genres with a particular focus on the first feedback loop: the
way genres develop as deviations from existing text types and then stabilize as
text types proper with a normative import. The second scope of this article
consists in developing a typological apparatus consistent with the dynamic
approach to the emergence of genres. This is our parameter theory of genres
presented in Section 3. Here we consider genres as governed by parameters
external to them and intrinsic to the situations they are dynamically related to.
Genres should thus be understood not simply in terms of inherent textual or
formal traits, but also relative to a certain set of situational parameters and
relative to the degree to which they are governed by them.
