This paper is a critical introduction to one of the two sections of the volume “Genre(s) on the Move. Hybridization and Discourse Change in Specialized Communication” edited by S. Sarangi, V.

The project focused on the evolving aspects of private and public, professional and institutional discourses, drawing attention to such phenomena as genre hybridization, creation, resistance and change produced by the impact of the new technologies and globalization.

Both sections of the volume (I. Genre(s) on the Move in Private and Public Domains; II. Genre(s) on the Move in Institutional and Professional Domains) concern phenomena of hybridization, change and forms of contamination as well as resistance and creation of new genres. The contributions have attempted to provide answers to a number of research questions involving current genre-related issues in private and public, institutional and professional communication, such as impact of globalization and the new technologies on discourses / genres, intertextuality and interdiscursivity drawing on corporate/promotional communication practices and strategies in processes of resemioticization and recontextualization across the media. The volume also hosts the contributions of two prominent scholars in the field of discourse: Norman Fairclough and Srikant Sarangi.

Abstract

This paper is a critical introduction to one of the two sections of the volume “Genre(s) on the Move. Hybridization and Discourse Change in Specialized Communication” edited by S. Sarangi, V. Polese and G. Caliendo. The volume is a final product of a government-funded research programme of national interest (PRIN) entitled: “Tension and Change in English Domain-specific Genres”. The project focused on the evolving aspects of private and public, professional and institutional discourses, drawing attention to such phenomena as genre hybridization, creation, resistance and change produced by the impact of the new technologies and globalization. The scientific coordinator of the project, which involved teams from five Italian Universities (Bergamo, Milano, Napoli Federico II, Roma (IUSM) and Torino), was Professor Maurizio Gotti of the University of Bergamo. Both sections of the volume (I. Genre(s) on the Move in Private and Public Domains; II. Genre(s) on the Move in Institutional and Professional Domains) concern phenomena of hybridization, change and forms of contamination as well as resistance and creation of new genres. The contributions have attempted to provide answers to a number of research questions involving current genre-related issues in private and public, institutional and professional communication, such as impact of globalization and the new technologies on discourses / genres, intertextuality and interdiscursivity drawing on corporate/promotional communication practices and strategies in processes of resemioticization and recontextualization across the media. The volume also hosts the contributions of two prominent scholars in the field of discourse: Norman Fairclough and Srikant Sarangi.
