Abstract
This article begins with a discussion of ‘genre’ and of possible ways of understanding and delimiting ‘politics,’ on the basis of which I propose an approach to the topic of ‘political genres.’ I then review recent research on four particular political genres: political interviews, political speeches, policy documents, and public sphere dialogue. The article emphasizes two characteristics of political genres: their shifting and hybrid character, and their openness to new forms of hybridity; and the interconnection of political genres, the relations between them in genre ‘chains’ or ‘networks,’ and the relations of recontextualization that obtain between them.
