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.

Studies in Information publishes monographs on critical issues in the information society. The book series is concerned with all aspects of information; its nature, politics, institutions, usages, and technologies, and it presents research from a wide range of disciplinary traditions. Previously published as Library and Information Science, it is a fully peer-reviewed and high impact outlet for research in the field of information. This new volume, edited by Jack Andersen, is the first to be published under the new series name Studies in Information. The book highlights the important role genre theory plays within information studies. It illustrates how modern genre studies inform and enrich the study of information, and conversely how the study of information makes its own independent contributions to the study of genre. Various original contributions scrutinize core aspects of information and knowledge organization, such as information systems and distributed authorship; personal information management; and records management in organizations, all through the lens of genre.

One fruitful line of research has been to explore the local linguistic as well
as global rhetorical patterns of particular genres in order to identify their recognizable
structural identity, or what Bhatia (1999: 22) calls \‘generic integrity\’. In terms of
methodology, to date most genre-based studies have employed one or the other of
Swales\’ (1981/1990) move-analytic models of text analysis to investigate whether or
not the generic prototypical patterns that he has introduced exist universally. This
paper, however, considers the application of the Systemic Functional (SF) theory of
language to genre analysis. The paper looks, in particular, at distinctive rhetorical
features of English newspaper editorials as an important public \‘Cinderella\’ genre
and proposes a generic prototypical pattern of text development for editorials or what
Halliday and Hasan (1989) refer to as the Generic Structure Potential (GSP) of a
genre. The results of this study should benefit both genre theory and Systemic Functional
Linguistics (SFL) and will be, it seems, of interest not only to applied linguists,
but to those involved in education, journalism, and the media.

The main argument is that the market-based categoriesof genre that have been developed in the context of video games obscure the new medium{\textquoteright}s crucial defining feature, by dividing them into categories (loosely) organized by their similarities to prior forms of mediation. The article explores the inherent tension between the conception of video games as a unified new media form, and the current fragmented genre-based approach that explicitly or implicitly concatenates video games with prior media forms. This tension reflects the current debate, within the fledgling discipline of Game Studies, between those who advocate narrative as the primary tool for understanding video games, {\textquotedblleft}narratologists,{\textquotedblright} and those that oppose this notion, {\textquotedblleft}ludologists.{\textquotedblright} In reference to this tension, the article argues that video game genres be examined in order to assess what kind of assumptions stem from the uncritical acceptance of genre as a descriptive category. Through a critical examination of the key game genres, this article will demonstrate how the clearly defined genre boundaries collapse to reveal structural similarities between the genres that exist within the current genre system, defined within the context of visual aesthetic or narrative structure. The inability of the current genre descriptions to locate and highlight these particular features suggests that to privilege the categories of the visual and narrative is a failure to understand the medium. The article concludes by suggesting that the tension between {\textquotedblleft}ludology{\textquotedblright} and {\textquotedblleft}narratology{\textquotedblright} can be more constructively engaged by conceptualizing video games as operating in the interplay between these two taxonomies of genre. }, keywords = {genre, interactivity, remediation, video game}, author = {Apperley, Thomas H.} } @article {1106, title = {Rhetorical Scarcity: Spatial and Economic Inflections on Genre Change}, journal = {College Composition and Communication}, volume = {63}, year = {2012}, month = {02/2012}, pages = {483}, chapter = {453}, abstract = {

Genre Studies around the Globe: Beyond the Three Traditions exemplifies rich and vibrant international scholarship in the area of non-literary genre studies in the early 21st century. Based on the "Genre 2012" conference held in Ottawa, Canada, the volume brings under one cover the three Anglophone traditions (English for Specific Purposes, the Sydney School, Rhetorical Genre Studies) and the approaches to genre studies developed in other national, linguistic, and cultural contexts (Brazilian, Chilean, and European). The volume contributors investigate a variety of genres, ranging from written to spoken to multimodal, and discuss issues, central to the field of genre studies: genre conceptualization in different traditions, its theoretical underpinnings, the goals of genre research, and pedagogical implications of genre studies. This collection is addressed to researchers, teachers, and students of genre who wish to familiarize themselves with current international developments in genre studies.
