Scholarly Tradition:
Genre Theory
Description:
This text draws on the very recent scholarly growth of genre theory, which
views genres as "social actions" rather than as static forms. In their
"Preface to Instructors," the editors write: "Our goal in this book is to
help students write more effectively, knowingly, and critically in
different writing contexts--what we call scenes of writing. Our approach
teaches students how to become more agile and astute writers, writers who
understand how and why to make writing choices as they negotiate among and
particpate in various scenes of writing" (xvii).
