and subject matter. The tools and motifs he used can be found and analyzed in many of this works by contemporary scholars. However, scholars seem less willing to delve into a work that can’t be seen in person. One of his paintings has been missing from recent discourse, but it has also been missing from the world for the past 20 years. The Concert by Johannes Vermeer features three musicians working hard on their piece. Their unwavering focus is in stark contrast with the paintings hanging on the walls of this interior space created by the artist. Stolen from its frame in 1990, the work has…

authority in the discourse community; those who represent the identity of said discourse community. For these reasons, I have chosen to interview Dr. Gregory Adami and Dr. Wolfgang Yuri. The data collection began with familiarizing the interviewees with definitions they may not be familiar with, but required for the progression of the interview. First, the term “genre,” when used refers to Bozeman’s definition of genres, and limited to written frames. In simpler terms, genres mean writing…

The works of the Romantic period were shaped by changing ideas, and current social and political change, reflecting and commenting on this upheaval in their works often through an adherence to or a divergence from genre. The novel experienced a lot of experimentation in this period, Scott’s Waverley being the bestselling example of this . The combination of a National tale and one of the first uses of the historical novel genres together worked allowed Scott to consider political and social…

One does not have to travel far to know oneself. Travel can be introspective, but being introspective is not a prerequisite for being a travel writer. Authors have created works that fit into the category of travel writing but not into the category of memoir - providing an unbiased, rather than a subjective, account of travel. The question of if a contest should add a travel writing section isn 't a question so much of if they should rather than in what it is that separates travel writing from a…

In “Navigating Genres,” Kerry Dirk discusses how for most of us, genre is nothing more than a category such as thriller or chick flicks. However, as Dirk also explains, genres go well beyond just fitting into a specific category or type. When writing in a genre, one should look to writings written previously as a guide for their own writing foundation. There’s a good chance something has been previously written in that style. In the text, Dirk quotes Amy Devitt; Devitt states “genres develop…

There are many genres and sub-genres in today’s entertainment industry. The main genres range from action to westerns, and the sub-genres range from biopics to thrillers. These genres also have different themes. I will be looking at horror, romance, and adventure. I will compare the theme of revenge in the different types of entertainment and works from literary authors. The first genre I will write about is horror. The earliest horror films were gothic. The gothic style meant that the setting…

The Victorians did not just focus on one genre, this itself can prove that they led a much richer life. They did not just focus on the masterpieces of the authors, like what the Modernists do, that would be too minimal to fulfill any sort of goal of the writer. The earlier time period of literature focused on an array of genres to get many different things across to their readers; such as: histories, sermons, social critiques, political arguments, scientific and religious debates, aesthetic…

From films about childhood dreams, to wizards, to evil spirits, the fantasy genre has taken audiences into worlds they never could have imagined. Fantasy genre films use creativity, magic, and unrealistic circumstances to take one’s mind beyond its limits. “Fantasy is a fluid genre that allows crossover with horror, science fiction, comedy, holiday films, and more” (Goodyknootz & Jacobs, 2014). The feature-length film “Big” starring Tom Hanks is a textbook example of a fantasy genre film. While…
