Genre: An Introduction to History, Theory, Research, and Pedagogy
provides a critical overview of the rich body of scholarship that has
informed a "genre turn" in Rhetoric and Composition, including a range
of interdisciplinary perspectives from rhetorical theory, applied
linguistics, sociology, philosophy, cognitive psychology, and literary
theory. The book presents an historical overview of genre; describes
key issues and theories that have led to the reconceptualization of
genre over the last thirty years; examines current research and lines of
development in the study of genre; provides examples of various
methodologies for conducting genre research; and explores the
possibilities and implications for using genre to teach writing at
various levels and within different disciplines. While the book examines
various traditions that have shaped the field's understanding of and
approaches to genre, what connects these various approaches is a
commitment to the idea that genres reflect and coordinate social ways of
knowing and acting in the world and thus provide valuable means of
researching how texts function in various contexts and teaching students
how to act meaningfully in multiple contexts.
