That is, we have moved from understanding genres as a means of defining and classifying texts toward understanding them as orchestrations of social and ideological events. Both old and new definitions of genre maintain that genres are mostly, and most importantly, patterns already in place, occurrences already recognized as recurrences. How then does the pattern (in form, content, situation, exigence, audience, action) take and then shift shape? How do genres emerge, change, proliferate, perhaps fade, even die? How do emergent genres relate to established ones? How to genre writers suggest genres-to-be or genres-becoming? How do audiences come to recognizes generic exigences and genres as exigences? This seminar will explore questions of genre emergence and change, offering participants the opportunity to explore rhetorical genre theory as well as questions of power and cultural production activated in genre work.
