Drive by Chris Young
This second edition of John Frow's Genre offers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the area. Genre is a key means by which we categorize the many forms of literature and culture, but it is also much more than that: in talk and writing, in music and images, in film and television, genres actively generate and shape our knowledge of the world. Understanding genre as a dynamic process rather than a set of stable rules, this book explores:
- the relation of simple to complex genres
- the history of literary genre in theory
- the generic organisation of implied meanings
- the structuring of interpretation by genre
- the uses of genre in teaching.
John Frow's lucid exploration of this fascinating concept has become essential reading for students of literary and cultural studies, and the second edition expands on the original to take account of recent debates in genre theory and the emergence of digital genres.
Young, Chris: - Chris Young is an ex-social worker from Northamptonshire, UK. In 2008 he was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. In 2011 Chris began his endeavour Walk A Mile In My Shoes. He walks around the edge of the UK - the edge of society being where many people with mental health problems feel they are - without spending any money and relying on the kindness of strangers. He invites other people to join him on these walks in order to discuss mental health and tackle stigma one step at a time. Chris has a wonderful way of looking at the world despite his BPD. He goes about life assuming that everyone, no matter who they are or what background they're from, is fantastic. That way, he can open up a healthy and productive conversation about mental health with everyone he meets.
