Genre
When I say genre, you might think of your elementary school library
Genre
In this class, genre does NOT mean those divisions we are uninterested the definition of genre that creates a box into which things can be dropped. For example, the genre of country music says that Garth Brooks music can be dropped into a box labeled country. This is fairly useless for a writing classand the authors you read will suggest that it is also wrong. (heres why: if you know country, do Willie Nelson and Carrie Underwood have anything in common? )
Genre
Carrie Underwood is a product of her time and the show that she came out ofand the current definition of country that is close to pop music.
The root of genre is shared with the root of generate. What does generate mean? What could this suggest about genre?
*this is why reading and understanding Swales matters for our study of genre.
