week 3: guiding questions
• What does it mean for genre to be “a universal dimension of textuality” (Frow 2)?
• What is the relationship between particular texts and genres?
discussion board
Please post your initial reactions (i.e., conversational response) to the readings and attach your reading notes. For this week, I’d like you all to structure your reading notes by responding to Frow’s questions about genre on p. 10-11 and taking War of the Worlds (Wells [1898] and/or Welles [1938]) as your example.
Note: Be sure to indicate which version of War of the Worlds you are discussing and sign your name on your posting.
