This text seeks to revise notions of film genre. It connects the
roles played by industry critics and audiences in making and
re-making genre. In a critique of major voices in the history of
genre theory from Aristotle to Wittgenstein, Altman reveals the
conflicting stakes for which the genre game has been played.
Recognizing that the very term "genre" has different meaning for
different groups, he bases his genre theory on the uneasy
competitive yet complimentary relationship among genre users and
discusses a range of films from "The Great Train Robbery" to "Star
Wars," and from "The Jazz Singer" to "The Player."
