Genre Theorists
Steve Neale:
- Genres are about repetition and difference
- Popular cinema relies on audiences finding pleasure in difference and repetition i.e. recognition of familiar elements and the way those elements are linked in an unfamiliar way or the way that unfamiliar elements might be introduced.
From the Spec
- Genre theory is about what genres are, and about how and why they are created, change, endure or decline.
- Neale argues that genre is a process by which generic codes and conventions are shared by producers and audiences through repetition in media products.
- This means that genres are not fixed, but constantly evolve with each new addition to the generic corpus
