  Q. usefilm as a genre

Asked by David McClenaghan    (K=9481) on 9/10/2004 
Hi to everyone.
I am currently enrolled in a Master Degree in New Media.
One of my assignments is to Create a genre analysis of a text from the cultural field within which I practice. For example, you might choose to analyse an artist's blog as an example of a new media genre or, if you are a writer, you might select a poem (either on paper or a e-poem) and analyse this in terms of its genre. Questions to consider might include: ? How would you name the genre of this example? ? What are the signs within the text which work towards meaning-making? ? What cultural literacies would a 'reader' of this text require? Make sure that the assessor can access the work you are analysing, either by providing a URL or a scanned or re-typed copy, depending on the type of work you have chosen. This may be provided in an appendix.
I am contemplating analysig this site in terms of possibly defining it as a GENRE/SUB Genre.
I would love to hear from anyone about the site and what you feel its main purpose/intention is.
Can you email me direct at
mcphoto@bigpond.net.au so that I can discuss some issues with you.
Cheers

I guess I am a really dumb ass: would like to answer but do not understand question.

Okay Chuck.
I am presuming you know what a Genre is :)
Normally it refers to specific types of books or films, i/e. westerns, science fictione etc but now 'academics' are interested in labelling 'new media' along the same lines!!!!

To categorise the site as a GENRE I need to have some idea of what people think its main role/s is.
Is it to provide, technical information, serious critiques, friendly chat, political debate, online dating or what ?

At the end of the day it may not be possible to categorise the site at all.

The area of GENRE is a very grey place, so its really open to enormous interpretation.

Im not asking people to categorise, I just want to get a sense of what you all think is the main aim and what your expectations are of the site.

Then I can make up a load of bullsh@t and submit it as an academic document ;)
