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.

This paper presents an overview of the ways in which genres, or structuralforms, develop in a community of practice, in this case, Wikipedia. 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.

Contemporary genre theory is probably not what you learned in college. 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.

This paper presents the results of a genre analysis of two web-based collaborative authoring environments, Wikipedia and Everything2, both of which are intended as repositories of encyclopedic knowledge and are open to contributions from the public. 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{\textquoteright}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 {\textquoteleft}hard core{\textquoteright} 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 {\textquoteleft}genealogical{\textquoteright} line of literary genres, i.e., the series of writers who have participated in shaping, reshaping and transmitting the textual heritage established by the {\textquoteleft}founding father{\textquoteright} of the genre, including the dialectical relationship of {\textquoteleft}parents{\textquoteright} and {\textquoteleft}children{\textquoteright} in genre history.}, keywords = {family resemblance, genre, literary, prototype, Wittgenstein}, author = {Fishelov, David} } @article {739, title = {The Role of Site Features, User Attributes, and Information Verification Behaviors on the Perceived Credibility of Web-Based Information}, journal = {New Media \& Society}, volume = {9}, year = {2007}, note = {+ pdf}, month = {2007}, pages = {319{\textendash}342}, abstract = {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.

The 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\&$\#$39;s place in an American-dominated international cultural system. Moreover, despite assurances by Zhong and other critics that the genre was not susceptible to Hollywood influence, the production history of the genre from the late 1980s to the present demonstrates a pattern of generic influence and eventual fusion that tracks Chinese state-owned studios\&$\#$39; evolution from subsidized propaganda organs to participants in a globalized entertainment industry.

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.

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. }, keywords = {access, genre, information science, internet, professional, purpose, user, web}, author = {Montesi, Michela and Navarrete, Trilce} } @article {1178, title = {"Hick-Hop Hooray? {\textquoteright}Honky Tonk Badonkadonk,{\textquoteright} Musical Genre, and the Misrecognitions of Hybridity."}, journal = {Critical Studies in Media Communication}, volume = {28}, year = {2011}, month = {2011}, type = {Research}, chapter = {466}, abstract = {

This 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 offers a way of using the theory of audience design\—how speakers position different audience groups as main addressees, overhearers, or bystanders\—for written discourse. 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.

This work is based on a review of three of the main criteria used to classify Hispanic preaching in genres (types of sermons). These criteria have also been used to classify panegyric as a genre of sacred oratory. Establishing differences between classical rhetoric and sacred oratory, this paper will try to define the place of the panegyric in preaching, thus determining in which ways it is possible to speak about genres of the sermon. Key words: sacred oratory, panegyric, discourse, New Spain, 16th and 17th centuries.
