We invite papers for a Minitrack on Genres of Digital Documents. Document genres are communicative actions with a socially recognized communicative purpose and/or common aspects of form (such as newsletters, FAQs, and homepages). Such genres are situated in complex communicative practices; they are anchored in specific institutions and processes and can be equally applicable to physical as well as electronic documents. Recognizing the genre of a document is useful because it helps build an understanding among communicating parties. Besides enhancing our understanding of information searching and use, studying genres provides insights into organizational or community structures, since each community generates its own set of communicative genres.
It is becoming increasingly clear that the use of digital media brings with it the emergence of new or transformed genres of digital communication. In a digital environment, documents have functionality as well as form and content, but in many ways the contextual clues by which functionality can be ascertained may be missing. For this reason, genre provides a certain fixity in communication and becomes increasingly important in providing users a resource for the interpretation of the content, role, and function of a digital document.
Suggested topics for the Minitrack include:
