Genre studies and genre approaches to literacy instruction continue
to develop in many regions and from a widening variety of
approaches. Genre has provided a key to understanding the varying
literacy cultures of regions, disciplines, professions, and
educational settings. GENRE IN A CHANGING WORLD provides a
wide-ranging sampler of the remarkable variety of current work. The
twenty-four chapters in this volume, reflecting the work of
scholars in Europe, Australasia, and North and South America, were
selected from the over 400 presentations at SIGET IV (the Fourth
International Symposium on Genre Studies) held on the campus of
UNISUL in Tubarao, Santa Catarina, Brazil in August 2007-the
largest gathering on genre to that date. The chapters also
represent a wide variety of approaches, including rhetoric,
Systemic Functional Linguistics, media and critical cultural
studies, sociology, phenomenology, enunciation theory, the Geneva
school of educational sequences, cognitive psychology, relevance
theory, sociocultural psychology, activity theory, Gestalt
psychology, and schema theory. Sections are devoted to theoretical
issues, studies of genres in the professions, studies of genre and
media, teaching and learning genre, and writing across the
curriculum. The broad selection of material in this volume displays
the full range of contemporary genre studies and sets the ground
for a next generation of work. Contributors include John M. Swales,
Paul Prior, Maria Antonia Coutinho, Florencia Miranda, Fabio Jose
Rauen, Cristiane Fuzer, Nina Celia Barros, Leonardo Mozdzenski,
