on-existent before the late 1980s, in recent years urban fantasy / paranormal romance has become the prevailing form of the monstrous Gothic in popular culture. In little more than two decades, urban fantasy has evolved from striking new genre innovations, coming to constitute a set of nowfamiliar genre conventions. Yet while urban fantasy has risen meteorically in popularity, especially in the last decade, it remains surprisingly understudied as a coherent genre. McLennon in the article Defining Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance: Crossing Boundaries of Genre, Media, Self and Other in New Supernatural Worlds provides a clear definition and history of urban fantasy / paranormal romance as a genre. She argues that this genre is both formally and thematically concerned with destabilising new Gothic boundaries—boundaries of genre, of media, of self and Other. Finally, McLennon suggests that these formal and thematic challenges to boundaries offer one explanation for this genre’s broad popularity. The article thus seeks to provide a platform from which we can better analyse and understand both this genre as a whole, and its individual texts, across a variety of media.

This paper is a tentative attempt to identify some basic-level conceptual and theoretical problems underlying the mainstream genre theory, which adversely affect the analysis of rapidly evolving, complex and hybrid genres in the modern communicative space. Having discussed these problems, I go on to I argue that the space of contemporary public communication should be viewed as not only an “analytic problem”, but also/rather a domain whose explorations could potentially revise the existing principles of genre theory. In particular, I suggest such explorations should focus on the conception of (public communication) genres as (i) abstractions, (ii) activators and realizers of context, (iii) flexible macrostructures, (iv) social field entities, (v) assigners of interpersonal roles. Notwithstanding a possible advancement of genre theory resulting from this approach, I conclude that it is only a first and admittedly uncertain step in trying to establish a sound theoretical framework for communicative genres in the modern discourse space.

The work of Juan Ramón Jiménez exists in a world deprived of generic boundaries. The author explored the possibilities offered both by the verse and the prose. Thanks to the enormous efforts of the critics, we can appreciate now all of his writings. Among them we find with some surprise several texts that can be included in the anthologies of one of the most striking phenomena of the present time: the short short stories. In this paper we present a study of the stories from the volume Cuentos largos, based on the theoretical contributions of the experts of the flash fiction. The analysis of the formal aspects of these texts will allow concluding whether el Poeta Andaluz can be counted among the precursors of the short short stories.

Fantasy literature in the 1980s underwent a revisionist change, which resulted in the emergence of a number of subgenres that challenged the dominant Tolkien model of fantasy writing. One such subgenre, which continues in popularity today, is urban fantasy. Urban fantasy is distinguished by real-world urban settings unsettled by the presence of the supernatural and the non-rational. The classification of the subgenre has predominantly been commercial or industry-based, with little critical or theoretical evaluation undertaken to define or establish its parameters. Within a limited frame of reference the article Theorizing the Emergent Subgenre of Urban Fantasy aims at offering a classificatory framework that identifies the distinctive elements of urban fantasy to further the generic understanding of unique fantasy subgenres.

The article is dedicated to describing the various liaisons between the historical genology and the stylistics. It is an attempt of theoretical reflection on the subject included in the title of the paper. The authour proves that the both domens are strictly related. One can notice that the most useful stylistics method in genological research are functional stylistics and stylistics of discourse.The functional stylistics is very helpful in analysis of both: the speech genres which are stable in the history of communication and the secondary speech genres distinctly connected with their primary pre-genres. As for discourse stylistics, it can be useful above all in describing the evolution and specifics of contemporary and the newest speech genre phenomena, e.g. the Internet genres.

The article is devoted to describing the problem of cultural contexts of genre transformations, taking the example of chosen literary forms: short story and romance. A few aspects of text model have been analyzed: structural, stylistic and functional. There are three basic cultural contexts of genre changes: 1. archaecultural, 2. macrocultural, 3. microcultural. Each of them is connected with various factors and aspects of the genres. The analysis allows treating the two chosen genres as “drifting” ones, because they are very “fluent”, they migrate from a discourse to a discourse during their historyfrom the Old-Polish period to contemporary times.

The following essay retraces the genre development and correlations of three 1980s hard rock subgenres: glam metal, sleaze metal and hair metal. This issue is consid- ered, primarily, with reference to the theory of hegemonic and non-hegemonic masculini- ties developed by Raewyn Connell and reviewed against the theory of genre development by Jennifer C. Lena and Richard A. Peterson. Both theories are employed in order to un- derline the subtle differences between the subgenres, arguably linked to the masculinities performed by the artists’ assumed stage personas. Aside from the scholarly references, the research includes various interviews with the artists and music journalists, an analysis of over a hundred song lyrics and the vast repertoire of visual arts accompanying the music.

In this article, the author considers the possibility of creating in genre studies a separate category of a genre of the moment – the inventive genre (gatunek autorski). He cites theoretical attempts within Polish genre studies to analyze the problem of how to accommodate authorial “inventions” within the study of genres – referring to works that manifest innovation and are exceptional with respect to genre, whether at the level of an individual work or a group of works by the same author, capable of being identified as a specific inventive genre. The point of the inquiry is thus to address instances of “one-time genres,” cases in which poetic license extends to the category of genre, situations where literary inventio is transferred to the paradigmatic level, particularly visible in the literature of the last century. Such analyses have been most evident in surveys of a particular author’s work – especially avant-garde and neo-avant-garde authors, including the Futurists, Julian Tuwim, Miron Białoszewski, Witold Wirpsza, and in humorous poetry by Wisława Szymborska and Stanisław Barańczak. The newest examples of inventive genres in the article are works collected in Maria Peszek’s book of poetry entitled bezwstydnik (scandal sheet), which also represents an intriguing example of how this kind of innovative genre specification can function in media and performative contexts.

W artykule autor rozważa genologiczną możliwość wyróżnienia kategorii gatunku momentalnego – gatunku autorskiego. Przytoczone zostały teoretyczne próby polskiej genologii rozważające kwestię genologicznej akceptacji autorskich „wynalazków” – utworów, które manifestują nowatorskość i wyjątkowość gatunkową na poziomie pojedynczego dzieła lub grupy utworów tego samego autora, możliwych do zidentyfikowania jako specyficzny gatunek autorski. A zatem chodzi o przypadek „gatunków jednorazowych” – gdy licentia poetica obejmuje genologię, o sytuację przeniesienia literackiego inventio na poziom paradygmatu, widoczną szczególnie w literaturze ostatniego stulecia. Rozważania tego typu najlepiej widoczne były w oglądzie konkretnej twórczości – szczególnie awangardowej i neoawangardowej: m.in. futurystów, Juliana Tuwima, Mirona Białoszewskiego, Witolda Wirpszy czy w żartobliwej poezji Wisławy Szymborskiej i Stanisława Barańczaka. Najnowszą egzemplifikacją gatunku autorskiego w artykule stały się utwory zebrane w tomie poetyckim Marii Peszek pt. bezwstydnik, który stanowi też ciekawy przykład funkcjonowania tego typu specyfikacji gatunkowej w kontekście medialnym i performatywnym.

Jungmann’s Slovesnost as Genre Theory This study considers Jungmann’s Slovesnost (‘Belles-lettres’; 1820) as a comprehensive theory of literary genres, examining the work on its own merits but also as part of the contemporary discussion on genre theory. Attention is also given to the development of this discussion in the 18th century, particularly in the German-language context at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. Jungmann’s work on genre is presented as an independent contribution to contemporary thinking in the field, covering a number of aspects of genre theory: linguistic, hierarchical, historical, intermedial, and modal.
