We seek to revitalize discussions of genre in media studies by providing a showcase for some of the most exciting work in the area. In this anthology, we ask the question of whether organizing our field around media was a mistake or not. Would we have been able to better confront and consider the many central debates and dead ends of media studies over the last three decades if we had started by centering on genre rather than media, or at least setting them up as equals. What other potential difficulties and problems may have arisen instead? New media had its moment; now it’s time to consider what new genres can do.
We are especially seeking papers on the following or similar topics:
- New Genres across media
- Non-Western Genres
- Genres of the dispossessed
- The culture, politics, and/or economics of genrification
- Forgotten and misunderstood genres
- Genre as embodiment and/or interactivity
- Genres, historicity, and historiography
Editors: Jonathan Cohn, Jennifer Moorman, Samantha Noelle Sheppard
