Genre theory has focused primarily on the analysis of generic
constructs, with increasing attention to and emphasis on the
contexts in which such genres are produced, interpreted, and used
to achieve objectives, often giving the impression as if producing
genres is an end in itself, rather than a means to an end. The
result of this focus is that there has been very little attention
paid to the ultimate outcomes of these genre-based discursive
activities, which are more appropriately viewed as academic,
institutional, organizational, and professional actions and
practices, which are invariably non-discursive, though often
achieved through discursive means. It was this objective in mind
that the book develops an approach to a more critical and deeper
understanding of interdiscursive professional voices and actions.
Critical Genre Analysis as a theory of discursive performance is
thus an attempt to be as objective as possible, rigorous in
analytical endeavour, using a multiperspective and multidimensional
methodological framework taking into account interdiscursive
aspects of genre construction to make it increasingly explanatory
to demystify discursive performance in a range of professional
contexts.
