This book attempts to engage directly with the complexities and
tensions in genre from both theoretical and pedagogical
perspectives. While struggling with questions of why, when, and how
different writers can manipulate conventions, Tardy became
interested in related research into voice and identity in academic
writing and then began to consider the ways that genre can be a
valuable tool that allows writing students and teachers to explore
expected conventions and transformative innovations. For Tardy,
genres aren't "fixed," and she argues also that neither genre
constraints nor innovations are objective-that they can be accepted
or rejected depending on the context. Beyond Convention considers a
range of learning and teaching settings, including first-year
undergraduate writing, undergraduate writing in the disciplines,
and the advanced academic writing of graduate students and
professionals. It is intended for those interested in the
complexities of written communication, whether their interests are
grounded in genre theory, academic discourse, discourse analysis,
or writing instruction. With its attentiveness to context,
discipline, and community, it offers a resource for those
interested in English for Academic Purposes, English for Specific
Purposes, and Writing in the Disciplines. At its heart, this is a
book for teachers and teacher educators.
