- Abstract
- In this entry, I discuss the concept of ‘genre’. I start by giving a brief outline of insights that have been developed in modern-day discourse analysis, to which research on ancient Greek genres is related. I then zoom in on some of the aspects that have been considered most problematic about genres (the relationship between literary and non-literary genres, ancient conceptualizations of genre, the inherent fluidity of genres). I conclude by discussing the variability that genres typically display, which is connected to the broader genre ecology, as well as societal factors.
