	abstract = {This paper explores the possibility of extending the functional genre analysis model to account for the genre characteristics of non-linear, multi-modal, web-mediated documents. 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 {\textquoteright}communicative purpose{\textquoteright}, {\textquoteright}moves{\textquoteright}, and {\textquoteright}rhetorical structure{\textquoteright} 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 {\textquoteright}personal homepage{\textquoteright} genre) constitutes the material for the theoretical discussions and the exemplary analyses.},

	abstract = {Recently, scholars of new media have been exploring the relationshipsbetween genre theory and new media. While these scholars have provided
a great deal of insight into the nature of e-genres and how they function in
professional contexts, few address the relationship between genre and newmedia
theories from a designer{\textquoteright}s perspective. This article presents the results
of an ethnographic-style case study exploring the practice of a professional
new-media designer. These results (a) confirm the role of dynamic rhetorical
situations and hybridity during the new-media design process; (b) suggest
that current genre and new-media theories underestimate the complexity of
the relationships between mode, medium, genre, and rhetorical exigencies;
and (c) indicate that a previously unrecognized form of hybridity exists in
contemporary e-genres.

	abstract = {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. Genres span the whole range of recognizable forms of communication, play a crucial role in overcoming contingency and facilitate communication. Their function is to enhance composing and understanding of communication by offering interpretative, recognizable and flexible frames of reference. As such, genres generate a sense of stability in modern complex societies. Genres ought to be seen as an intermediary level between the levels of media and text, however influenced by both. They operate as interaction between two interdependent dimensions, conventions and expectations, both of which are afforded by media and specific texts. In this article these relationships are illustrated through two cases of emerging personal media genres: the online diary and the camphone self-portrait.},

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.</p>

that the language of company websites often represents fossilized rhetorical structures as a paper text hangover
from the medial conditions of reading written texts and views this residue as an evolutionary stage of the
evolution towards a medially appropriate style.

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.},
