		Although not all literary genre theorists agree with Rosmarin's perspective, her position, though extreme, reflects a common privileging by literary theorists of the critic's role in creating genres.5 Of course, that privileging of the critic makes sense for scholars of literature who are most concerned to contribute to the literary critic's interpretative range.
		Rhetorical genre theory must be able to deal with desirable variations within literary genres made by accomplished writers as well as the mastery of generic conformity by experts and the "errors" in rhetorical genres made by novices.
		Even such an apparently stable genre as the lab report has different functions for its student writers than for its teacher readers and exists in different situations when it is being composed in notes in the lab, revised by the student at his computer late at night, or graded by the teacher in her office.

	Key Terms in Literature, by Ismail S Talib
		Like many literary terms (tragedy and epic being prominent examples), the term has its origin in ancient Greece, but Aristotle's discussion on comedy in his Poetics is believed to be missing, and one consequence of this is that the term is less rigidly defined than tragedy.
		Genre: A literary form; examples of literary genres are tragedy, comedy, epic, and novel.
		Among the characteristics of Romantic literary works are an emphasis on the individual and on the expression of personal emotions, a tendency to explore new literary forms or new means of expression, and a highlighting of nature or the natural landscape.

	Lucinda MacKethan, An Overview of Southern Literature by Genre
		Genre, as much as if not more than other literary characteristics such as character, setting, plot, and language, reflects choices made on the basis of a writer's and a reader's relationship to the world(s) they inhabit and the world(s) they share within a text.
		Heilman identified five features of the southern literary mind that made for distinctively "southern" texts based on analysis of what he considered to be the important fiction of the modern period, and these qualities directed the reading of southern literature for a generation.
		In gathering literary examples of these different organizations, it is not surprising that most of the examples come from fiction and autobiography, which tend to be constructed from social dynamics and structures that follow the narrative flow of history.

	APOCALYPTIC AS GENRE
		A literary genre may be defined as a group of texts that exhibit a coherent and recurring configuration of literary features involving form (including structure and style), content, and function.
		Literary genres and forms are not simply neutral containers used as convenient ways to package various types of written communication.
		The original significance that a literary text had for both author and reader is tied to the genre of that text, so that the meaning of the part is dependent upon the meaning of the whole.

	Jean-Luc Nancy and Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe-The Literary Absolute.
		Thus their project will not be a literary project and will open up not a crisis in literature, but a general crisis and critique (social, moral, religious, political: all of these aspects are found in the Fragments) for which literature or literary theory will be the privileged locus of expression.
		Regardless of the form it takes, their literary ambition is always the result of their ambition for an entirely new social function for the writer-that writer who was, for them, a character still to come, and in the concrete form of a profession, as we read in Athenaeum fragment 20-and consequently for a different society.
		Beyond divisions and all de-finition, this genre is thus programmed in romanticism as the genre of literature: the genericity, so to speak, and the generativity of literature, grasping and producing themselves in an entirely new, infinitely new Work.

	The Ideology of Genre: Introduction
		These four stages of generic criticism (genre as rules, genre as species, genre as patterns of textual features, and genre as reader convention) correspond to the four positions in the great debate about where textual meaning resides: in authorial intention, in the work's historical or literary context, in the text itself, or in the reader.
		I have hinted at some of the ways these genres function as a system, carefully differentiating themselves from their neighbors in terms of their titles, their covers, and the ways they are to be used by their readers.
		I have defined and subdivided the genres according to what I will call their "use-values." I will advance the theory in these next pages that generic differences are grounded in the pragmatic "use-value" of discourse rather than in its content or formal features.

		Literary is a genre, and it is no better or worse than any other genre.
		Some genres seem to be past their "prime," relegated to a place in history when they were quite popular and now with only a small market if any market at all, but they've all made their own impact on writing.
		The literaries can deny it all they want, but genre has been, and always will be, a part of the writing and reading experience.

	Omnidawn
		Most genre fiction, otherwise known as pulp, formula, escapist, and when particularly successful, blockbuster fiction, is commonly perceived as having been written to provide escape, to take readers away from their supposedly boring, overstressed, and/or unrewarding lives to exciting, unusual or improbable settings, events, and/or characters.
		(Although in a broader sense of the word genre, literary fiction is sometimes referred to as a genre unto itself, as poetry and narrative fiction are sometimes referred to as genres.) In the broadest sense of the term, literary fiction is that which has recognized cultural and artistic value.
		Fantasy and science fiction as a capital G genre, meanwhile, has largely been shelved separately from the rest of the culture, in part because of the genre’s mania for self-classification into ever narrower niches (high fantasy versus alternate history, hard science fiction versus space opera, cyberpunk versus steampunk) and in part because of pure snobbery.

	Narrative Journalism Conference Celebrates the Flowering of a Literary Genre
		Rosenbaum, who participated with other contemporary writers, reporters, editors and literary agents in a two-day conference on the tradition of narrative journalism, said he believes that the literary genre - inspired by the writings of Tom Wolfe and the "New Journalists" - is still rocking the boat of conventional ideas.
		Academics, students and 'fellow travelers' of the genre filled the Auditorium at Boston University's School of Management on February 27th and the Morse Auditorium on February 28th, and were treated to readings and panel discussions by some of the country's leading practitioners of literary journalism.
		One of the more fundamental concerns of the conference was the degree to which literary journalists should honor, as Kramer puts it, the "objectivity contract of the conventional journalist." Kramer said he thinks the "intent of narrative journalism is to convey the truth, not to express opinion...It's a time sculpture.

	A Lexicon of Neologisms (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		However, there should be recognition for a neologism as a self-sufficient literary text that is not intended for any pragmatic use and is not a part of any larger literary genre.
		I will call this genre of a single word creation "lexicopoeia." The word "lexicopoeia" is formed from the Greek roots lexis, "word, expression" (from legein, “say” and poiein, "to make or compose").
		If aphorism as a literary genre corresponds to the sentence as a linguistic unit, then a lexicopoem corresponds to the word as a minimal element of speech having meaning as such.

	Neil Schmid: Conceptual Integration as a Buddhist Literary Genre
		The literary imagination often exploits literature to conceptualize notions of the self and morality.
		Fundamental to all Buddhist traditions in Asia is a genre of narratives termed avadâna (Skt.), piyu (Ch.) or hiyu (Jap.), which illustrates the doctrine of karma and rebirth.
		What defines this genre is the narratives' explicit use of conceptual integration, and their role in teaching it as a means to understanding the self and one's standing in society.
