  5. ENGL 3815 Genre films essentially ask the audience, "Do you still want to believe this?" Popularity is the audience answering, "Yes."  Change in genre occurs when the audience says, "That's too infantile a form of what we believe. Show us something more complicated." And genres turn to self-parody to say, "Well, at least if we make fun of it for being infantile, it will show how far we've come." Films and television have in this way speeded up cultural history.  Leo Braudy, American film scholar Genre Tim Dirks Filmsite.org: Genres

  6. ENGL 3815 • Thomas Schatz's life history of a genre (from Hollywood Genres) : • an experimental stage, during which its conventions are isolated and established, a classic stage, in which the conventions reach their “equilibrium” and are mutually understood by artist and audience, an age of refinement, during which certain formal and stylistic details embellish the form, and finally a baroque (or “mannerist,” or “self-reflexive”) stage, when the form and its establishments are accented to the point where they “themselves become the “substance” or “content” of the work. (37-38) • Thomas Schatz, American film scholar Tim Dirks Filmsite.org: Genres Genre
