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{\textquoteright}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 {\textquoteleft}launch{\textquoteright} into the discourse community, the EPAR summary apparently fails to fulfill its communicative purposes. }, keywords = {genre, patient communication, translation}, author = {Askehave, Inger and Zethsen, Karen K.} } @article {619, title = {Modern Evolution of the Experimental Report in Physics: Spectroscopic Articles in Physical Review, 1893{\textendash}1980}, journal = {Social Studies of Science}, volume = {14}, year = {1984}, note = {+ pdf}, month = {1984}, pages = {163{\textendash}196}, abstract = {Recent studies of scientific texts need to be set against the history of the genre,which in part establishes the institutional framework within which any individual text is created.

Music Genres and Corporate Cultures explores the seemingly haphazard workings of the music industry, tracing the uneasy relationship between economics and culture; {\textquoteleft}entertainment corporations\&$\#$39; and the artists they sign. Keith Negus examines the contrasting strategies of major labels like Sony and Polygram in managing different genres, artists and staff. How do takeovers affect the treatment of artists? Why has Polygram been perceived as too European to attract US artists? And how did Warner\&$\#$39;s wooden floors help them sign Green Day? Through in-depth case studies of three major genres; rap, country, and salsa, Negus explores the way in which the music industry recognises and rewards certain sounds, and how this influences both the creativity of musicians, and their audiences. He examines the tension between raps public image as the spontaneous {\textquoteleft}music of the streets\&$\#$39; and the practicalities of the market, and asks why country labels and radio stations promote top-selling acts like Garth Brooks over hard-to-classify artists like Mary Chapin-Carpenter, and how the lack of soundscan systems in Puerto Rican record shops affects salsa music\&$\#$39;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.
