My understanding of Genre is basically different categories of things, such as music, movies, books and more. Genre is something that separates audiences into different groups. Genre could be used to determine the different groups of people with different interests.
Discourse communities are group of people sharing common goals and have common set of goals and genre is also about different categories of things which can be appreciated by different group of people with different interests. For Ex; people in the discourse community of soccer will only have set goals relating to soccer. Even though, they can like other sports or other thing, but they will not focus on other as much as the specific community they’re involved in.
For my Assignment 3, i will be be focusing on comedic genre and it’s probably because comedic genre has always catch my interest. I also think it’s one of the most challenging genre out there.
