• 40101b Bridging the Gap: A Genre Analysis of Weblogs .
• Weblogs (blogs) — frequently modified web pages in which dated entries are listed in reverse chronological sequence — are the latest genre of Internet communication to attain widespread popularity, yet their characteristics have not been systematically described. ... Based on the profile generated by the empirical analysis, we consider the likely antecedents of the blog genre, situate it with respect to the dominant forms of digital communication on the Internet today, and advance predictions about its long-term impacts. ...

• The principal object of design, I want to suggest, is the genre. ...
• Let us begin with the concept of a genre -- that is, an expectable form that materials in a given medium might take. ...
• An advertising campaign, for example, might be regarded as a small genre that inserts a range of elements into a recognizable shared frame. ...
• Each genre implies a particular sort of audience and a particular sort of activity (Bazerman 1988). ...
• Each genre also implies a relationship between the producer(s) and consumer(s) of the materials in question. ... All of these aspects of the relationship will shape both the genre and the activities within which it is used. ...
• A genre implies not a single document (or other communicative event) but a stream of them. Even if the "rules" of a given genre are never codified, past instances of each genre create precedents and expectations for the interpretation of subsequent instances, and this may create a pressure for future communications to conform to the pattern established by earlier ones. ...
• The genre does not, however, fully constrain the ways that instances of it might be used. ...
• The genre needs to "fit" with the whole complex of "external" and "internal" aspects of the activity. ...
• A genre, again, is a relatively stable, expectable form of communication. ... Of course, a given genre might be addressed to several different purposes simultaneously, or even to several different communities, but it stands to reason that a genre cannot be too many things to too many communities without diluting its usefulness for any one of them. It is probably best to identify a genre with a particular medium: a folk song goes through important changes in its transition from live performance to audio recording to music video. ... It helps to think of a genre in historical terms as the product of an ongoing process of coevolution between its producers and consumers. ... In particular, every genre implies a distinctive constellation of relationships: it is supposed to be useful to members of a given community, in activities whose forms and purposes are heavily influenced by relationships with the members of particular other communities. ...
• Pick a community, explore how existing genres fit into existing activities and relationships, and then consider how a new genre might "do more" for the people than the ones they already use. The new genre might, for example, be designed to ease certain functions (like searching or sorting or comparing or pooling group efforts) that the people now perform laboriously for themselves, or that they rarely perform because it is so difficult. ...

• Fourth Genre: Explorations in Nonfiction .
• Fourth Genre: Explorations in Nonfiction is devoted to publishing notable, innovative work in nonfiction. The title reflects the intention to give nonfiction its due as a literary genre—to give writers of the fourth genre a showcase for their work and to give readers a place to find the liveliest and most creative works in the form. To reflect the genre's flexibility and expansiveness, the journal includes works ranging from personal essays and memoirs to literary journalism and personal criticism. ...

• Genre.
• For example, the novel is a broad genre of prose. ... In each case, the genre has a specific structure and content that defines it.
• To veer from the genre is to risk disaster. ...
• The personal pronoun 'I' is key to creating a strong voice and identity for the genre of the op-ed. ...
• To study genre is to study the form and content of a message as appropriate to a rhetorical situation. From the form and content of genre we may read patterns that can tell us much about the speaker and audience. The patterns of a genre may reveal social and political truths. For example, the Inaugural address is a distinct genre because a new president must begin creating consensus in order to have an effective first year in office. ...
• And this is exactly the reason why the rhetorical critic must be sensitive to genre.
• To consider genre as part of a rhetorical analysis, use these questions as a guide:.
• 3- What genre does the text appear to be? How clear are the generic constraints? Are the structure and content of the text expected? Are they idiosyncratic? If unexpected, what might be the purpose of the speaker's deviation from the expected? What appears to be the effect of the deviation?.
• 4- May the effectiveness of the text be attributed to the genre, i. ... does the text/speech seem powerful or masterful because it fits the expected genre or does it attempt to transcend genre?.

• Where Does Genre Come From?.
• Genre labels have at least as much to do with reader perception as with content.
• I've been having a lot of discussions lately about the differences between literary fiction and other genre fiction (especially speculative fiction). All such discussions are doomed, of course; even agreeing on a useful definition for a given genre is nigh-impossible. Still, I'm interested in exploring genre definitions and boundaries, and in looking at fiction that crosses genres, or that falls into the interstices between genres. ...
• So I think it's worth exploring how a work ends up with one genre label instead of another. But before getting into that, let's talk a little about what the word genre means.
• Genre vs. ...
• A couple years after that, I heard Kris Rusch and Dean Wesley Smith talk at a convention about fiction that spans genre boundaries; if I remember right, they said that a science fiction romance novel would sell something like ten times as many copies if marketed as a romance than it would if marketed as SF.
• Bruce Sterling, in his seminal essay on slipstream, borrowing terminology from Carter Scholz, distinguishes between marketing category (how books are categorized on bookstore shelves) (Sterling and Scholz use the term category) and genre (an "inner identity" or set of characteristics shared by a set of works). I often use the term genre to mean both of those things, but I think it's often worth making the distinction.
• Sterling noted in his essay that slipstream was a new genre but not yet a new marketing category. ...
• (As Mary Anne wrote in her editorial a few months ago: "In the end, genre seems to come down to a matter of language and tone. ... And much of what genre authors publish as literary fiction is slipstream -- that's certainly how I'd categorize some of Le Guin's more literary work, such as "Half Past Four," a story published in The New Yorker in 1987, which presents several disconnected permutations of a set of characters and character names, as if showing several alternate-universe versions of the ways these characters might interrelate.
• Aspects of Genre.
• So I think it's worth looking at a couple of different aspects of what constitutes genre. ...

• The temptation, in arguments involving genre fiction and literary taste, is to give up and say, "Okay, I'm a philistine, not to mention an unlettered slob. ...
• The dictionary definition of "romance" as a genre is: "a prose narrative treating imaginary characters involved in events remote in time or place and usually heroic, adventurous, or mysterious" (which is sort of right, though the "remote in time or place" clause oversimplifies a much more complex quality of removal from everyday reality. ...
• Both parties want to make the genre better, everybody involved seriously cares about what they're doing and why they're doing it. ...
• And I believe that those of us who write SF-as-romance (as opposed to "romantic SF" and "SF romances," which have their own problems both with the mainstream and within SF, but which aren't what we're talking about right here) need to stop thinking of ourselves as throwbacks to a more primitive era, or as the sleazy lower class of an increasingly respectable genre, and own up to being the countervailing literary force that we are and that I believe the field itself needs us to be.

•    High Hallack Genre Writers' Research and Reference Library is a unique facility which is the result of more than half a century of labour. ...
•    The Library's books have been carefully selected for this purpose and include outstanding examples, both early and contemporary, of every genre, as well as relevant non-fiction studies and handbooks for writing in that field. ...

• Making Sense of Genre Deborah Knight For those who consider genre to be too simplistic or formulaic for academic consideration, there is the question whether anything like serious comprehensional activities are involved in reading or viewing generic texts. Are we just passive consumers of stories that, in an important sense, we already know? Or are we in some respect active participants, constructing meaning from the narrational cues of a genre, so that familiarity with a generic form turns out to be an advantage to us, helping us to sort expediently between salient and non-salient information as it is presented to us by the generic narrative?<1> Is it just irrational for spectators and readers to return, again and again, to consume new installments of familiar generic fictions? This question seems to apply equally to those who prefer the successive consumption of sequences of autonomous but generically similar texts (devotees of action or horror films, for example), to those who prefer to consume serialized texts where each has a more-or-less autonomous structure (P. ... <3> In the final sections of the paper, I raise questions about Carroll s strategy for making sense of genre. ... (1) GENRE: FORM AND FORMULA Generic fictions are, first and foremost, identified in terms of familiar, codified, conventionalized and formulaic story structures. <4> Plot action is a main focus of generic fictions; the answer to the question, What fictional genre is this? is standardly given by a key term which figures the line of plot action to be found in the particular story, as in mystery or thriller or horror or family melodrama. ... Genre characters are identified functionally, in terms of their role in a particular story structure, rather than psychologically. Indeed, story is the main focus of genre. ... But perhaps the claim of the irrationality of genre can still be advanced. ... The formalist line will, then, stand as a background assumption for the discussion of genre. ... I turn now to discuss a particular strategy for making sense of genre recently proposed by N”el Carroll, one which I take to be an example of what I call the formal-cognitivist gambit. ... While it should be evident that I am sympathetic to Carroll s general project, I will raise some concerns about whether Carroll s strategy for making sense of genre works.
