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.

Departing from systemic-functional studies of the genre of face to face shopping, the paper provides a cartography of an online fashion shopping site, showing how it consists of an array of micro genres (themselves hybrids of genres such as advertisements, fashion spreads, lifestyle magazine articles and Instagram style social media photography) which can be navigated in different ways, yet always connect to purchase options. 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.

We examine the rhetorical activity employed within software development communities in code texts. For technical communicators, the rhetoricity of code is crucial for the development of more effective code and documentation. When we understand that code is a collection of rhetorical decisions about how to engage those machinic processes, we can better attend to the significance and nuance of those decisions and their impact on potential user activities.

This paper examines Johann Ulrich Bilguer{\textquoteright}s 1761 dissertation on the inutility ofamputation practices, examining reasons for its influence despite its nonconformance to genreexpectations. I argue that Bilguer{\textquoteright}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{\textquoteright}s wide impact. Ultimately, the dissertation offers an example of affectiverhetorics employed during the Enlightenment, demonstrating how bodies and environments{\textemdash}those Bambient rhetorics^ made visible in a text{\textemdash}can contribute to an analysis of genredeviations and widen the scope of genre studies.

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 {\textquotedblleft}be{\textquotedblright} as complex wholes and so act across/among levels of network configurations. Moreover, the nature of these objects{\textquoteright} (instruments{\textquoteright}) action is such that we may attribute them to a kind of rhetorical agency. We look to the InFORM Network{\textquoteright}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.

Nous prennons genre et ANT, pour retrouver une perspective que nous croyons puisse contribuer beaucoup aux {\'e}tudes de la science dans l{\textquoteright}{\^a}ge de l{\textquoteright}internet. On comprend les genres de textes comme une moyenne de rendre compte de la fa{\c c}on dont les objets deviennent des ensembles complexes et donc agir entre les diff{\'e}rents niveaux de configuration r{\'e}seau. En plus, la nature des actions de ces objets (ou instruments scientifique) est telle qu{\textquoteright}on puisse attribuer a eux une sorte d{\textquoteright}agence rh{\'e}torique.

Crowdfunding is a novel mechanism for garnering monetary support from the online public, and increasingly it is being used to fund science. This article reports a small-scale study examining science-focused crowdfunding proposals from Kickstarter.com. By exploring the rhetoric of these proposals with respect to traditional grant funding proposals in the sciences, this study aims to understand how the language of science may be imported into this popular genre.

Genre 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.

This 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 {\textquoteleft}selfies{\textquoteright} 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{\textquoteright}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 {\textquoteleft}the self{\textquoteright} 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.
