A little inpromptu lesson on one of the enlightening corners of #genrestudies. You'll see very soon why I use this particular tweet for the lesson. 1/
#AnneFreadman is well known among #genre researchers for her insistence on seeing genre as a loose open-ended system of interrelations and differences. A key point in her understand is her presentation of what she calls "not-statement". 2/
The point is most easily made in an example. If I say "a refrigerator is not a deep freezer" the statement will almost always be more meaningful than if I say "a refrigerator is not a rhinoceros." 3/
Here begins the Great Thread on #illicitgenres. I am reporting from a @uni_copenhagen symposium on illicit genres supported by @Carlsbergfondet. You can find the program for the conference here.

@uni_copenhagen @Carlsbergfondet Introdutory speech by @TanyaKaroli and @MarieEBM, warning us that we are going to see fairly horrible examples during the days. That's what happens when genres are

@uni_copenhagen @Carlsbergfondet @TanyaKaroli @MarieEBM However, @AmyDevitt1 is also in the room, so that makes the day infinitely better despite the awful nature of the topic at hand.
My esteemed colleague @DrMJCWarren has published a fascinating book on a #genre called "hierophagy". Here, for your enjoyment and (hopefully) enlightenment is a thread on the book and its use of genre. It is written from an interdisciplinary genre research perspective. 1/
@DrMJCWarren Let me add, that I really like Dr. Warren a lot. She is both a brilliant scholar and a very nice and energetic human being. I am a better researcher and a better person for knowing her. 2/
@DrMJCWarren So, do not expect anything particularly belligerent. Today, I am not in the business of harsh criticism, but in the business of being extremely interested and making remarks to a piece of very fine scholarship. 3/
A new variation of the twitter poll. This #genre specimen makes the staggering ignorance prevalent in the #Brexit debate painfully obvious.
