Talk:Genre studies
-- I feel strongly that this article reads too much like an essay advancing various points of contention within the genre studies movement, rather than describing the topic itself from outside the subject. I'm tagging it. --75.168.235.205 (talk) 06:56, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
This is a limited representation of genre studies; there also exists rhetorical genre studies in linguistics that should either be added to this document or linked from this document. Msanford 22:49, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm just a visitor...don't really know how to do things...but I was noticing that this page does not link to "genre criticism," which covers the stuff I was actually looking for when I first arrived at the "genre studies" entry (Bakhtin, Carolyn Miller, etc.). Can someone link it up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.17.134.200 (talk) 20:54, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

this article makes out that genre studies take a historical turn as a result of Derrida's and then Cohen's papers (respectively 1980; 1986). Reception discourse on 'horizons of expectations' (applicable to, but not limited to, genre) in their synchronic and diachronic aspects date back at least to HR Jauss's seminal 'Literary History as a Challenge to Literary Theory', trans. in NLH vol.2 no.1 (Autumn 1970). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.114.14.199 (talk) 03:05, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
--Looks like a lot of original research on this page. It's well written, but probably should be moved to a different site.
