Abstract
This chapter reflects on the interaction between genres and media, making the case that specific affordances and the fact that genres evolve in different ways across media makes it necessary to consider genre as medium-specific discourses. The chapter also examines the factors which reduce or obfuscate the distinction between these medium-specific versions of various genres, including convenience and the intermedial circulations of successful works and trends.
